# Alacritty Theme Synchronization
|
||||
|
||||
This directory contains the theme synchronization system for Alacritty that automatically switches between Catppuccin light and dark themes based on your macOS system theme.
|
||||
Simple theme synchronization for Alacritty that automatically switches between Catppuccin light and dark themes based on your macOS system theme.
|
||||
|
||||
## Files
|
||||
**This solution uses Nix conditional configuration - no complex scripts or wrappers needed!**
|
||||
|
||||
- `catppuccin-light.yml` - Catppuccin Latte (light) theme colors
|
||||
- `catppuccin-dark.yml` - Catppuccin Mocha (dark) theme colors
|
||||
- `README.md` - This documentation
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
The theme synchronization scripts are located in `/scripts/`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `detect-system-theme.sh` - Detects current macOS system theme (light/dark)
|
||||
- `sync-alacritty-theme.sh` - Syncs Alacritty config with current system theme
|
||||
- `monitor-theme-changes.sh` - Continuously monitors for theme changes
|
||||
- `setup-alacritty-theme-sync.sh` - Setup script for initial configuration
|
||||
1. The system detects your current macOS theme using `defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle`
|
||||
2. The theme is written to `/Users/danny/.local/share/nvim_color_scheme`
|
||||
3. Your NixOS configuration reads this file and conditionally applies:
|
||||
- **Light theme** → Catppuccin Latte
|
||||
- **Dark theme** → Catppuccin Mocha
|
||||
4. Alacritty gets the correct theme colors through Nix configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the setup script:
|
||||
1. **Run the setup script:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/setup-alacritty-theme-sync.sh
|
||||
./scripts/setup-simple-theme-sync.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Choose your preferred method for automatic theme switching:
|
||||
2. **Apply the theme to Alacritty:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
home-manager switch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Manual Sync
|
||||
Run the sync script whenever you want to update the theme:
|
||||
That's it! Your Alacritty will now use the correct theme based on your system theme.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Theme Sync
|
||||
When you change your system theme, run:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh
|
||||
./scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh && home-manager switch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Background Monitoring
|
||||
Run the monitor script in the background:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/monitor-theme-changes.sh &
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: LaunchAgent (Recommended)
|
||||
Install as a system service that runs automatically:
|
||||
### Automatic Theme Switching (Optional)
|
||||
For automatic switching, you can set up a LaunchAgent:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp assets/launchd/com.user.alacritty-theme-sync.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
|
||||
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.alacritty-theme-sync.plist
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 4: Shell Integration
|
||||
Add to your Fish shell configuration:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo 'source /Users/danny/dotfiles/scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Files
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. The system detects your current macOS theme using `defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle`
|
||||
2. Based on the theme, it applies the appropriate Catppuccin color scheme:
|
||||
- **Light theme** → Catppuccin Latte
|
||||
- **Dark theme** → Catppuccin Mocha
|
||||
3. The Alacritty configuration is updated with the new colors
|
||||
4. Running Alacritty instances are restarted to apply the new theme
|
||||
- `scripts/detect-system-theme.sh` - Detects current macOS system theme
|
||||
- `scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh` - Updates the theme file that Nix reads
|
||||
- `scripts/setup-simple-theme-sync.sh` - One-time setup script
|
||||
- `nixos/home/danny/home.nix` - Contains the conditional Alacritty configuration
|
||||
|
||||

|
|||
- Foreground: `#cdd6f4` (text)
|
||||
- Accent colors optimized for dark backgrounds
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Theme not updating
|
||||
- Check if Alacritty config file exists and is writable
|
||||
- Verify the theme detection script works: `./scripts/detect-system-theme.sh`
|
||||
- Check logs in `/tmp/alacritty-theme-sync.log`
|
||||
|
||||
### LaunchAgent not working
|
||||
- Check if the plist file is in the correct location
|
||||
- Verify permissions: `ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents/`
|
||||
- Check launchctl status: `launchctl list | grep alacritty`
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual theme override
|
||||
If you want to manually set a theme regardless of system setting:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Force light theme
|
||||
ALACRITTY_THEME=light ./scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Force dark theme
|
||||
ALACRITTY_THEME=dark ./scripts/sync-alacritty-theme.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with NixOS
|
||||
|
||||
The NixOS configuration in `nixos/home/danny/home.nix` provides the base Alacritty configuration. The theme sync scripts work on top of this configuration, dynamically updating the colors section while preserving all other settings.
|
||||
The solution uses Nix's conditional configuration in `home.nix`:
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
colors = let
|
||||
systemThemeFile = "/Users/danny/.local/share/nvim_color_scheme";
|
||||
isLightTheme = builtins.pathExists systemThemeFile &&
|
||||
builtins.readFile systemThemeFile == "light\n";
|
||||
|
||||
lightColors = { /* Catppuccin Latte colors */ };
|
||||
darkColors = { /* Catppuccin Mocha colors */ };
|
||||
in if isLightTheme then lightColors else darkColors;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To customize the themes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit the color values in `catppuccin-light.yml` or `catppuccin-dark.yml`
|
||||
2. Run the sync script to apply changes
|
||||
3. The changes will persist until the next theme switch
|
||||
|
||||
For more advanced customization, you can modify the sync script to use different theme files or add additional theme variants.
|
||||
This approach:
|
||||
- ✅ Works with Spotlight/Applications folder launches
|
||||
- ✅ No shell aliases or wrapper scripts needed
|
||||
- ✅ Integrates cleanly with NixOS configuration
|
||||
- ✅ Minimal complexity - just 3 simple scripts
|
||||
- ✅ Uses the same theme file as your Neovim configuration
