Readme Instructions unclear

Forgive me, I am a newbie when it comes to using flavours. You state:

Now using your injector (if you don't have one, check out flavours), and configure it so the template will be built to both ~/.themes/FlatColor/colors3 and ~/.themes/FlatColors/colors2, using the subtemplates gtk-2 and gtk-3, respectively.

If I go to the flavours site, there is no gtk template and it isn't clear what is supposed to happen here. Could you perhaps be more instructive, or point me to an example?

Hey! Flavours config is basically one item per template/subtemplate you want to apply. If you want to theme both gtk3 and gtk2, you should make two entries on ~/.config/flavours/config.toml. One for gtk-flatcolor gtk-2 and one for gtk-flatcolor gtk-3. Here's how the relevant part of my config file looks like:

[[item]]
file = '~/.themes/FlatColor/colors3'
template = 'gtk-flatcolor'
subtemplate = 'gtk-3'
rewrite = true
hook = 'systemctl restart --user xsettingsd'

[[item]]
file = '~/.themes/FlatColor/colors2'
template = 'gtk-flatcolor'
subtemplate = 'gtk-2'
rewrite = true
hook = 'gtkrc-reload'

Oh and i use a systemd unit file for xsettingsd as it is a daemon process (it keeps running till restarted). Here's my unit file (~/.config/systemd/user/xsettingsd.service):

[Unit]
Description="Xsettings Daemon"

[Service]
StartLimitBurst=20
StartLimitIntervalSec=5
Type=exec
WorkingDirectory=/home/misterio
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xsettingsd
Restart=no

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

And here's the hooks i use, just in case you need them: xsettingsd for reloading gtk3: https://github.com/derat/xsettingsd gtkrc-reload for reloading gtk2: https://github.com/neeasade/gtkrc-reload

If you use Arch, xsettingsd is in the repositories, and gtkrc-reload is in the AUR

Let me know if you need any more help with it <3

Fantastic, thank you.
