Originally created by @JaimeStill on GitHub (Jun 23, 2019).

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Allow stylistic properties of a profile to be set by a scheme so these properties do not need to be duplicated among profiles. These properties should also have global default values.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Suggested properties:

  • acrylicOpacity
  • useAcrylic
  • fontFace
  • fontSize
  • cursorShape
  • padding

Additionally, any of the properties set by a scheme should be able to be overridden by the profile, as is the case for background.

The style of the UI would be determined in this way:

  1. Check for properties in the profile
  2. Check for any missing properties in the scheme
  3. Set any remaining properties using their global defaults

This'll turn into themes in some future version. Until then, we'll just keep these settings profile-local. It'll be helped a little bit by profile inheritance from #754.

Huh, this is a dead ringer for the "profiles should be a combination of an appearance and a task" thing that Dustin's always talked about
