How are colors/themes set? #8

Closed chopfitzroy closed 7 years ago

It would be good it colorscheme could be read from something like ~/.Xresources or even better something like ~/.config/germinal/colors/schemename without the need to recompile.

Also would be good to be able to set font families, sizes, etc...

Thoughts?

Sorry about poor English above I am on my phone and don't seem to be able to edit.

You can already set them (even at runtime) using gsettings set org.gnome.Germinal palette or dconf-editor.

Edit: The same goes for other settings.

Keruspe commented 7 years ago

Yup, open up dconf-editor and navigate to org/gnome/Germinal and you'll find everything. All the config is updated without the need to restart germinal

Hey @sardemff7 & @Keruspe,

Out of curiosity what would be your thoughts on allowing Germinal to be configured by an rc file similar to svte?

I only ask because it makes the whole set up more portable and seems to fit in nicely with the projects philosophy (i.e. using tmux by default which is also configured using dot-files).

Let me know your thoughts.

That would duplicate the feature. GSettings can use a different backend if you want, just find one, or make ore. :-)
