base16-i3status-rust

This is a repository that provides a base16 template to generate theme settings for i3status-rust.

To use, just pick a config snippet from colors/ and put it in your i3status-rust configuration, however you want.

The theme is "based" on the Solarized Dark builtin theme in i3status-rust. This is mostly because the plain theme, which otherwise I would have used, doesn't use the powerline character for a separator.

The colors were chosen based on what base16's website says about the colors (both the example shades in the list saying what the colors are meant to be used for and what it says they are used for) and the colors of Solarized that the builtin theme chose. This is more optimised for dark themes, as a result, so I may add another template that should work better for light themes. I'm also 100% open to switching around what color goes where.

As a final note, if you want to be able to easily switch, because i3status-rust has no "include" mechanism, I recommend checking out base16-builder-python/pybase16 and its inject.
