As this project uses async/await syntax, the lowest supported Python version is 3.5.
- copy dropin.py to template repository eg. base24-kdeplasma
- run
./dropin.py
to download base24-builder-python-portable - then see Usage below:
There are three modes of operation:
./base24.py update
./base24.py build
./base24.py inject
If you just want to build all base24 colorschemes and then pick out the ones you need, simply run:
./base24.py update
./base24.py build
Once the process is finished, you can find all colorschemes in a folder named output located in the current working directory.
For a more detailed explanation of the individual commands, read on.
Downloads all base24/ base16 schemes and templates to the current working directory. The source files, i.e. the files pointing to the scheme and template repositories
will also be updated by default. If you want to use your own versions of these
files (to exclude specific repositories, for example), you can prevent the
builder from updating the source files by using the -c/--custom
option.
You can use -v/--verbose
for more detailed output.
Builds base24 colorschemes for all schemes and templates. This requires the directory structure and files created by the update operation to be present in the working directory. This operation accepts four parameters:
-
-s/--scheme
restricts building to specific schemesCan be specified more than once. Each argument must match a scheme. Wildcards can be used but must be escaped properly so they are not expanded by the shell.
-
-o/--output
specifies a path where built colorschemes will be placedIf this option is not specified, an "output" folder in the current working directory will be created and used.
-
-v/--verbose
increases verbosityWith this option specified the builder prints out the name of each scheme as it's built.
Example:
./base24.py build -s atelier-heath-light -o /tmp/output
This operation provides an easier way to quickly insert a specific colorscheme into one or more config files. In order for the builder to locate the necessary files, this command relies on the folder structure created by the update command. The command accepts two parameters:
-
-s/--scheme
specifies the scheme you wish to injectRefers to the scheme that should be inserted. You can use wildcards and the same restrictions as with update apply. A pattern that matches more than one scheme will cause an error.
-
-f/--file
specifies the file(s) into which you wish the scheme to be insertedCan be specified more than once. Each argument must be specified as a path to a config file that features proper injection markers (see below).
You will need to prepare your configuration files so that the script knows where to insert the colorscheme. This is done by including two lines in the file
# %%base24_template: TEMPLATE_NAME##SUBTEMPLATE_NAME %%
Everything in-between these two lines will be replaced with the colorscheme.
# %%base24_template_end%%
Both lines can feature arbitrary characters before the first two percentage
signs. This is so as to accomodate different commenting styles. Both lines
need to end exactly as demonstrated above, however. "TEMPLATE_NAME" and
"SUBTEMPLATE_NAME" are the exception to this. Replace TEMPLATE_NAME with the
name of the template you wish to insert, for example "gnome-terminal". This
must correspond to a folder in the templates directory. Replace
SUBTEMPLATE_NAME with the name of the subtemplate as it is defined at the
top level of the template's config.yaml file (see
file.md <https://github.com/chriskempson/base16/blob/master/file.md>
_ for
details), for example "default-256". If you omit the subtemplate name (don't
omit "##" though), "default" is assumed.
Specify the name of the scheme you wish to inject with the -s option. Use the -f option for each file into which you want to inject the scheme.
As an example, here's the command I use to globally change the color scheme in all applications that support it:
./base24.py inject -s ocean -f ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine -f ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc -f
~/.config/i3/config -f ~/.config/termite/config -f ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc
The program exits with exit code 1 if it encountered a general error and with 2 if one or more build or update tasks produced a warning or an error.
This program has been written for Python 3 and has been tested with Python version 3.8.0 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/.
choco install python
To install Python, go to https://www.python.org/ and download the latest version.
sudo apt install python3.8
- Open the .py file in vscode
- Ensure a python 3.8 interpreter is selected (Ctrl+Shift+P > Python:Select Interpreter > Python 3.8)
- Run by pressing Ctrl+F5 (if you are prompted to install any modules, accept)
./[file].py
- Ensure you have installed the following dependencies
Linux
Windows
wget dephell.org/install | python3.8 wget https://github.com/raw/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3.8
(wget dephell.org/install -UseBasicParsing).Content | python (wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python
- Use poetry for the heavy lifting and dephell to generate requirements
poetry update dephell deps convert
