This patch adds an environment variable that, when set = 1, makes theme.sh write color codes to /dev/stdout instead of /dev/tty. APPLICATION With st terminal and this patch https://lists.suckless.org/hackers/2004/17218.html it becomes possible to run a script whose stdout is directly connected to the terminal's slave pty. Such script can run theme.sh to change terminal colors but for it to work theme.sh must write color codes to its stdout (the slave pty) instead of /dev/tty, which isn't connected to the terminal.
