Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I was trying allow changing the spotter colors using themes but I think the THEME global is not available for Lua in plugins. It is available in components though.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

If someone could make THEME available in plugins then I could continue with the theme support.

Additional context

No response

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean. Are you saying adding a new [spot] section in the theme.toml file, or are you just want to access other colors through THEME?

[GrzegorzKozub]

Adding a [spot] section and using it from the Rust code and Lua code in components is not a problem. I can do that.

However, to customize the colors for the spotter we need to access the THEME global in the Lua code for plugins. For example file.lua. Seems like this global is not installed there.

I may be wrong because for some reason when I run via cargo I don't get any messages in the log.
