libtheme

this is a theming library for the plan 9 graphics system.

theme files are in ndb format. there is a sample in lib/theme.

theme files are read from $home/lib/theme, or /lib/theme if there is no theme file in $home.

applications using the theme library should call themeget to find color values. for example:

ulong col = themeget("rio", "background", DBlack);

this will look up an ndb record in the theme file that looks like this:

theme=rio background=red

if the key background doesn’t exist, it will fall back to DBlack.

installation

mk install cp lib/theme $home/lib/theme B $home/lib/theme

existing applications will need patches to use libtheme. you can find some patches in patches/.

you will need to read the patches to figure out the appropriate database keys for a given application.

color names

some predefined color names are in the library, taken from allocimage(2):
