Important Note: Configuration files change only when -a(--apply) option is provided as an argument, so consider backing up your configuration files before running -a option.

The configuration was tested only on a modularised configuration, with relatively small files. Thus, if it would be wise to use this option with caution in case your particular configuration is not handled by the application appropriately.

By adjusting _edit_section() of a parser you can customise its behaviour.

Currently, there are three utilities, for which the software can offer configurations:

• kitty
• AwesomeWM
• Rofi

Just those three can give a great visual experience:

Plans for the future consist of, at the very least, adding a parser for one of the tiling managers for Wayland.

Development

Configuration generation depends on the utility dedicated parsers within gen/parsers folder. Each of them provides logic required to properly handle past themes, which stay within the file, and adding new ones. Each parser is a subclass of ConfigGen from gen.gen, thanks to that amount of work required to create a new parser is pretty tiny.

Plans

• add nice parser for Wayland window manager
• do something with GTK so that thunar/nautilus will look good
• switching themes (maybe via rofi applet)
