Setting a color scheme on-the-fly for all apps & tools? (lemmy.world)

I'm wondering if there are possibly any tools out there to do this: Declare a color scheme and set them to all apps CLIs and TUIs, either immediately on upon restart of each app individually. I'm on NixOS and looked at Stylix, once properly set up it automatically sets color schemes to apps. To change the color scheme I'd have to rebuild my nix configuration which is slow.

Do you want to have multiple color schemes that you can quickly switch between? If you have already built the configuration with a color scheme, the second time you build it should take much shorter. Changing between a fixed set of color schemes is also a proposed feature for Stylix: https://github.com/nix-community/stylix/issues/447

Similar tools you can check out are Tinted Theming, Pywal16 and Catppuccin.

Also ... dynamic changing them after my wallpaper rotation every 10 minutes, based on the colorpalette of the background photo ... while we're at it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
