Is your feature request related to a problem?

There's no way to use a private/custom theme in the web/desktop app. `loadThemeFromUrl` already exists in `packages/ui/src/theme/loader.ts` but nothing calls it, and there's no UI for it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a "Custom theme URL" field in Settings → General. Paste a URL to a `DesktopTheme` JSON, it validates and loads it, persists across reloads, with a way to remove it again.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Committing a personal theme file to the repo isn't an option since it's not meant to be shared.

Additional context

I have a working implementation ready, opening this issue to link the PR per the contributing guide.
