## CSS Like Theme engine

The biggest new feature of this release is the theme engine. Building on the changes made in v1.3.0 we implemented a new
theme engine and it has a completely new theme format modelled after CSS. We decided to model the theme format after
CSS because many people are familiar with it and it seems to be a reasonable fit. While the themes are a lot more
verbose now, it does allow for a lot of extra customizations.
It is now possible to theme each widget in rofi independently:
### Colors
You can now set the color on each widget independent in most of the CSS supported color formats (hsl, cmyk, rgb, etc.).
You can now set the color on each widget independent in most of the CSS supported color formats (hsl, cmyk, rgb, etc.)

### Borders
On every widget we can now configure a border for each of the four sides, the color of the border, the style of the
border and the radius of the corners.

## Configuration File
The new theme format can now (as an alpha) feature be used to set rofi's configuration. In the future, when we add
wayland support, we want to get rid of the current Xresources (X11) based configuration format.
You can see how this would look using: `rofi -dump-config`.
