Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Each theme only supports 8 colours. This is an issue for users with more than 8 courses on their timetables as some courses will have duplicate colours.

Describe the solution you'd like

Themes should comprise more than 8 colours.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Possible extension is to support custom themes where users can add their own colours. Existing themes can be inherited/extended into custom themes.

Additional context

I just wish my timetable will stop gaslighting me with duplicate colours. :')
