Explanation of how themes work

To use an Arrera TK theme, simply pass its name as an argument when creating the main aTk window.

# Example of using a theme
app = aTk(theme="bleu") 

By default, if no theme is specified, the defaut theme will be used. It is also still possible to load a custom theme from a .json file by passing the file path to the theme argument.
