Arc: Use default theme

[kkoscielniak]

This script allows for choosing the Space in Arc Browser and reuse the same theme for every other Space.

I've created it because I dislike the default theme in Arc but still want to have the same one for every Space I have.

Note: This script modifies Arc Browser's StorableSidebar.json file. Use at your peril.

Open arc-default-theme in Script Kit

// Name: arc-default-theme
// Description: Pick an Arc Browser's Space and set its theme for all the other Arc Spaces. Tested with Arc v1.10.1.
// Note: This script modifies Arc Browser's `StorableSidebar.json` file. Use at your peril.
