Variants

Minimal offers 4 variants. A variant is a map over the theme's one color scheme, as PowerPoint's color map is, never a second scheme: dark swaps the text and background roles, and an alt variant reorders the accents. Write a variant's value to design.variant (from core 0.23.0) to use it, for the deck or for one slide.
