Added

• Interactive installer UX
  • gum-powered TUI everywhere; automatic gum installation across major package managers.
  • Fallbacks for missing gum with clean numbered prompts.
  • New utilities: auto-backup targets, robust temp dir and safe cleanup_tmp.
• Flatpak integration
  • --flatpak to grant Flatpak apps access to GTK configs and ~/.themes.
  • --flatpak-disconnect to revoke permissions.
• Theme reload
  • Explicit “Force reload theme” action and function; clears caches and reloads gsettings with longer delay for reliability.

Changed

• CLI parsing
  • Fully refactored to support combined/mixed flags: -l, -d, --color NAME, --colors, -la, --install-both, -u/--uninstall, -h/--help, --flatpak, --flatpak-disconnect.
  • Help printed early if -h/--help detected anywhere in args.
• Installer behavior
  • install_theme_copy and variant installers now back up existing targets before copying.
  • install_base_themes and libadwaita install no longer suppress errors; clearer failure reporting.
  • install_color_variants_from_gtkdir scans, backs up, installs, and reports count of installed variants.
  • Libadwaita override normalizes “Light/Dark” and color casing; backs up existing gtk.css; improved source detection and error output.
• Reliability
  • TMP_DIR creation via mktemp -d; unified cleanup trap.
  • check_prereqs aggregates and reports missing commands once.
  • gum_or_echo strips ANSI codes when rendering through gum to avoid mangled text.
  • Cache clearing pattern refined: ~/.cache/icon-* and ~/.cache/gnome-control-center*.
  • gsettings reload uses a longer delay and guards against empty values.
• GitHub downloads (Ulauncher theme)
  • More robust extraction of browser_download_url, clear errors when URL not found, and improved prompts.

Fixed

• CLI flags previously “succeeded” without doing the requested work; parsing now executes correct actions for:
  • ./install.sh -l -la
  • ./install.sh -d -la
  • ./install.sh -d --color blue -la
  • ./install.sh -l --color green -la
• Theme not applying immediately due to caching: addressed with the new “Force reload theme” action and cache/gsettings reload routine.
• Libadwaita source resolution
  • Correctly capitalizes mode and color for folder matching (e.g., Tahoe-Dark-Blue/gtk-4.0).
  • Prevents accidental capture of prompt text as color when gum is missing.
• Robust error handling and messaging across install flows (Python missing, script missing, GitHub URL missing, etc.).
