flavours VS sway

You might be interested in this base16 helper tool: https://github.com/Misterio77/flavours

https://github.com/Misterio77/flavours lets you manage base16 themes. The concept is pretty simple; you just add comments to your dot files and this script inserts your color scheme when you call it. It has saved me a lot of time!

I like https://github.com/Misterio77/flavours with any of the config files for GTK, terminal (many popular ones) and whatever else you want to theme including xresources and polybar. The key for me coloring i3 was using xresources as I can theme almost everything like Spotify and rofi from one file. Except dunst which is annoying but easy to config. Like spicetify has an xresources theme.

Hello everyone, I installed Misterio77/flavours from aur but I get errors every time I try to use it.

I use flavours, it generates config files for base16 colourschemes.

There are also these. They can, additionally, be invoked with other apps or scripts out there. (I use flavours).

So I found this project on this subreddit (https://github.com/Misterio77/flavours), and after a bit of configuration for my tools, I was able to generate this beautiful colorscheme from the Macos Monterey wallpaper.

Flavours works quite well for this.

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
