Global color via xrdb (.Xresources) #2

Closed niraami closed 6 days ago

i3, Polybar, Rofi and mostly everything else supports importing variables from .Xresources, so moving all colors to a central place makes a lot of sense.

It'll just be a lot of work... and naming...

Found quite a comprehensive post on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/8giij5/guide_defining_program_colors_through_xresources/

This is going to be quite a bit more challenging than I thought, as I really dislike the usage of *.<resource_name>... so far I can't find a way to determine an alternative for programs that don't natively support xrdb - eg.: polybar.
