ColTerm

Forked from: @SeungheonOh/ColTerm

Changes include: Modifications to flags, added colors up to 16, support for my custom Xresources scheme and dotfile setup.

---

Simper, more Unix-philosophical implementation of auto colorscheme generator. It gets Image as an input, gives you a well generated color scheme.

Things

Well, as you notice, it's really similar to pywal. Unlike pywal, colterm is designed make a colorscheme only, but not to manage whole wallpaper system, therefore it's a lot simpler. You might ask, then why should I use it? I would say colterm would work best for those of you who would save your colorschemes by a image instead of having not really clean or commented clusters of colorschemes in you config files. You can just save a file with bunch of image links that you like, and use colterm to got a colorscheme without any dirty work of copying/finding/uncommenting colorschemes.

It supports only Xresources. However, you can input a Tamplate for your config with placesholders (like background or color1) to generate any kinds of configs.

Requirements

Nope, only Go standard libraries (I wrote the coloring algorithm by myself, compactly). You need xrdb to set Xresources however.

Usage

USAGE:
   colterm <OPTIONS> <FILE/URL>
OPTIONS:
  -bg int
        Set background brightness(0 - 255) (default 20)
  -sn string
        The scheme name to give, will be part of the export(ex) path
  -ex string
        Export file to (Path) (default ~/.xres/themes/(sn))
  -f string
        Input file, use this option or put file behind the options
  -fg int
        Set foreground brightness(0 - 255) (default 150)
  -po  bool
        Print colors only without applying to Xresources (default true)

Example: ./colterm -po=false -f=https://i.imgur.com/XULiMJ5.jpg -sn=purple produces the same result as screenshot above.

Resulting file will look like:
