Why do themes need to run code?
They shouldnt. At least use some kind of super locked down API if you're gonna let people use javascript of all things in your theming system god damn
Actually I'm pretty sure C would be much worse
Well, you can literally create a C program in bash using themes, compile and execute it.
Real "What does God need with a starship?" energy.
So they can include cool features like auto debloating /home/
Setting themes do mant things and they are not like adding a colorscheme or so. Like there are tweaks that comes wuth themes which needs shell access to heavily modify the desktop
People in one of the other threads were speculating that it is widgets, or one theme that is able to do multiple configurations. Really should be containerized or something, tho.
