ttythemer

A live look switcher for anything that speaks ttyzero/commons on the theme bus: gitwing, peek, buscope.

Moving the list restyles this pane, publishes so the others follow, and writes ~/.config/ttyzero/theme so gitwing/peek/buscope start with the same look after a restart. Incoming theme messages (from a shell, or another ttythemer) update the picker too.

Looks: Charm auto/dark/light, then Catppuccin, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Solarized, One Dark, Rosé Pine, Everforest, Kanagawa (dark + light where the palette has both).

Persist

ttythemer writes the current look to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ttyzero/theme (default ~/.config/ttyzero/theme). Every companion pane reads it on startup, below --theme / $TTYTHEME / $CLITHEME. Override the path with $TTYTHEME_FILE. Hand-edit if you want:

THEME nord BORDERS=0
