Feature request: Themes + Statusline

[nerdbude]

Hello. iamb is such a great tool - I love it.
A great feature would be the use of different color schemes.
I want to use my own color scheme in iamb too.

A Vim-like status bar would also be great.
I'm not a Rust programmer, so these are the cautious wishes I have - but I'll continue to use iamb without the features. Thanks very much

What kind of information are you looking for in the status bar? Something like the ruler to show line/column information, or something else?

[nerdbude]

A bit like the Vim Statusline. Stuff like the current Mode (Visual, Insert...), number of total users in a room, maybe the roomname.

I was thinking today about what defining a theme would look like. I think the relevant fields to expose would be:

• background color
• default text color
• window border type
• window border color w/ focused/non-focused variants
• window title color
• tab title color w/ focused/non-focused variants
• message bar prompt color w/ focused/non-focused variants
• room/spaces/dms list colors w/ read/unread variants
• room/spaces/dms tags colors
• command bar text color

There's probably some other fields I'm missing. There might also be a way to fold #137 into this (different prompt colors?).

I think putting (contextual) keyboard shortcuts in the statusbar could be useful: ulyssa/modalkit#142

It would be nice to be able to customize the color of rich text elements. Currently, there is no visual distinction between regular text and monospace formatted text. It would be great if the background and foreground color of monospace formatted text was configurable. I would set the background color to some dark opaque grey.
