-Milestone: Actor colour theme plugin
-</title><description><![CDATA[
-
-<p>Actors are now able to set their own colours, through a brand new plugin: "Oomox".
-Those accustomed to customising their own desktop should know where the name comes from ;)</p>
-
-<h2>Here's how it works!</h2>
-
-<p>The Oomox plugin main class catches the "PopulateProfileSettingsTabs" event upon visiting user panel.</p>
-
-<pre><code>public function onPopulateProfileSettingsTabs(Request $request, array &amp;$tabs): bool
-{
-    $tabs[] = [
-        'title'      =&gt; 'Light theme colours',
-        'desc'       =&gt; 'Change the theme colours.',
-        'controller' =&gt; C\Oomox::oomoxSettingsLight($request),
-    ];
-
-    $tabs[] = [
-        'title'      =&gt; 'Dark theme colours',
-        'desc'       =&gt; 'Change the theme colours.',
-        'controller' =&gt; C\Oomox::oomoxSettingsDark($request),
-    ];
-
-    return Event::next;
-}
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>As made evident by the code, two new tabs are added to profile settings, light and dark theme colours.
-Since the page styling follows the system theme, actors may want to style each theme differently, therefore they are treated separately.</p>
-
-<p>The actor's defined colours are then saved in the respective entity and cached.
-Finally, the colour preferences are used to render the corresponding CSS file which defines the various colour variables used:</p>
-
-<pre><code>public function oomoxCSS(): Response
-{
-    $user = Common::ensureLoggedIn();
-
-    $oomox_table = PluginOomox::getEntity($user);
-    if (is_null($oomox_table)) {
-        throw new ClientException(_m('No custom colours defined', 404));
-    }
-
-    $content = Formatting::twigRenderFile('/oomox/root_override.css.twig', ['oomox' =&gt; $oomox_table]);
-    return new Response($content, status: 200, headers: ['content-type' =&gt; 'text/css']);
-}
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Please note, upon rendering for the first time, page render may be blocked until the resulting file is served. Nonetheless, subsequent page renders
-won't experience the issue again. That is, if the file is cached by the browser.</p>
-
-<h2>How it looks</h2>
-
-<p>Tabs added using the "PopulateProfileSettingsTabs" event:
-<img src="assets/actor_colour_theme_plugin/settings_change_theme_colours.png" alt="User panel Oomox sections" title="" /></p>
-
-<p>Changing the dark theme colours!
-<img src="assets/actor_colour_theme_plugin/settings_change_theme_colours3.png" alt="Dark theme colours selection" title="" /></p>
-
-<p>The result of given changes, please note it's no longer a 'dark' theme. 
-Given a valid colour, it's the actor's responsibility whether or not the colours make sense. So, go wild!
-<img src="assets/actor_colour_theme_plugin/settings_change_theme_colours4.png" alt="The resulting colours in action!" title="" /></p>
