Shchemes will support any theme format, app, or scheme you want, with a little leg work. It is less than 300 lines. It can go anywhere bash will, and will comfortably live in your dotfiles. Compare with tinty.

Installation

Clone the repo and add symlink it to somewhere in your PATH. Pick your poison

ln -s $PWD/shchemes ~/bin/shchemes
ln -s $PWD/shchemes ~/.local/bin/shchemes

Install your favorite base16 themes from tinted-themes:

shchemes install_tinted_scheme monokai

If you just want a bunch of themes to play with, try installing them all:

shchemes install_all_tinted_schemes

Usage

Shchemes can be used as a command or sourced to gain access to it's underlying functions.

In the terminal:

shchemes --scheme=base16:monokai create_theme kitty >> ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

If you want to be able to hotswap themes, you'll probably need to use injection.

echo "#START SHCHEMES BLOCK : create_theme kitty" >> ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
shchemes --scheme=base16:monokai inject ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

In a script:

source shchemes --scheme=base16:monokai

inject "$HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml"
inject "$HOME/.config/rofi/config.rasi"

bspwm_theme="$HOME/.config/bspwm/colors"
create_theme bspwm > "$bspwm_theme"
"$bspwm_theme"

Note you'll have to add all the comments for where to place the injections

See the cookbook for some ideas on ways to use Shchemes.
