Themeing with Summer

Unread post by machinebacon » Sun Jun 29, 2014 3:25 pm

BBQ releases come with a handful of handy tools that help you customize your terminal. These tools only have effect on non-vte9 terminals, like xterm, rxvt, etc.

You have downloaded a wallpaper named wall.png into your home folder.

You want to set it as wallpaper

1) Find your editor and open ~/.xinitrc
2) find the line that starts with hsetroot
3) change it to something like

Code: Select all

hsetroot -fill ~/wall.png
You want to make a fitting Xresources color scheme for it


1) in a terminal, run

Code: Select all

paletterx ~/wall.png >> ~/xcolors/xcolor_code/wall01 # or any other name you want to give it
2) choose it as theme by running

Code: Select all

dkeger
3) open a terminal and admire your colors using

Code: Select all

env-info
colorview
You want the same thing as color scheme in TTYs

1) open a terminal and run

Code: Select all

fbgen ~/xcolors/xcolor_code/wall01 >> ~/xcolors/fbcolors/wall01
2) change permissions

Code: Select all

chmod a+x ~/xcolors/fbcolors/wall01
2b) it is recommended to add a

Code: Select all

clear
as last line in your fbcolor theme
3) choose it

Code: Select all

fbcolors

The fbcolors and dkeger scripts read the xcolors/* directory for themes.

Hope this helps ;)

Themeing never been so easy and beautiful. I always use this scripts to pimp my setups. That said, this is a bullet-proof reference.
