  • Neomutt: Using start-hook to activate pywal
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 4 Feb 2022
    So in my xresources, I have it point to one of a ton of themes. The current one is this nord theme. It sets the colors 0-15 and the background and foreground (as do all the other xresources themes). Then my neomutt colors looks like this. All I have to do is change the theme my xresources points to and my neomutt colors change automatically because they point to the colors 0-15 and background and foreground. By the way, "default" in the neomutt color scheme refers to the background and foreground colors.
