This is still a prototype, but the basic setup is: Clicking the palettes on the side changes the overall color set. The palettes at the top represent all the differnt cobinations of the sidebar palette shuffling background, body text, link text, and header text. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts: `h` Show/hide both palettes - `s` show/hide side palette - `t` show/hide top pallet - `up/down arrows` change to next background - `left/right arrow` shift header/body/link colors on top of the background. (Settings toggle is currently busted)
