Caution

You will most likely have to edit the EDITME file since this script is at this moment only adapted for my dotfiles.

What is it ?

art is a theme generator that takes an image, generates colors from it and creates a theme with two variations from those colors, a dark and a light one. It then updates some configuration files and any open terminal with desired colors. Each generated theme is saved in a special folder, that can be accessed at any time.

How does it work ?

1. Load an image
2. Generate a certain number of colors
3. Choose 5 colors
   • The darkest
   • The redest
   • The greenest
   • The blueest
   • The lightest
4. Tweak those colors and create a grey color from the darkest one
5. Check the colors
   • If some colors are too similar, adjust them
6. Generate files

How to install ?

Dependencies

imagemagick: Used to generate the first array of colors

Instructions

cd WHEREVER_YOU_WANT
