Themes Contribution
GitHub Readme Stats supports custom theming, and you can also contribute new themes!
All you need to do is edit the themes/index.js file and add your theme at the end of the file.
While creating the Pull request to add a new theme don't forget to add a screenshot of how your theme looks, you can also test how it looks using custom URL parameters like title_color, icon_color, bg_color, text_color, border_color
NOTE: If you are contributing your theme just because you are using it personally, then you can customize the looks of your card with URL params instead.
