New features for Preferences

[Gajenthran]

Hello,
Here is some new features to add in Preferences (I placed them in order of importance (in my opinion) :

• Change language
• Add a light/white theme (there is already a dark theme)
• Key bindings (configuration to add new shortcuts)
  Modify the size of font (small/large) 

I don't think if there is an option to change the language but I would like to know how we can change the language otherwise.

• Change language -> 👍 Right now is possible via a command line argument
• Add a light/white theme -> 👍 It was there before, but it was simply one the default qt styles, it needs some adjustment or a few widgets will look bad or not display properly
• Key bindings -> 👍 as said before it require some effort
• Modify the size of font -> 😕 In my opinion we should rely on the OS settings, which QT already does, unless there is some convincing reason not to

Can I know the command, please ? Because I tried to search arguments for the language but I didn't find it.
I have these options:

usage: linux-show-player [-h] [-f [FILE]] [-l {debug,info,warning}] [--locale LOCALE]

Thanks for the reply.

[FrancescoCeruti]

Yes, sorry 😄

It's actually the --locale option, for example linux-show-player --locale it will use the italian translations.
❓ why locale? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_(computer_software)

Consider that beside the source language (english -> en) in the develop version there are many untranslated strings, if you're interested you can se at https://crowdin.com/project/linux-show-player the current situation

Yes, I wanted to ask you about that because I saw that you modify i18n folder and there is some "unfinished" string. I will surely do that (especially french translation) !

Nice, it would be great if you could do that directly form crowdin itself, you can log using your GitHub account, and the changes are pushed to l10n_develp branch on this repository, if you need to look at them.

Also for discuss on translation #38 can be a good place 😄

Was a light theme ever added? Found the setting in preferences but only have dark as an option.

[FrancescoCeruti]

No, we still don't have a light theme
