- Add 'theme status' command to show current theme status across platforms - Add 'theme toggle' command to switch between light and dark themes - Improve toggle logic to read current theme from platform-specific sources - Update documentation to include new commands - Maintain backward compatibility with existing theme light/dark commands

# Unified Theme Switching
|
|
|
|
Unified theme switching that works across platforms (WSL and macOS) for Neovim, Alacritty, and Windows Terminal.
|
|
|
|
**This solution uses a single `theme` command that detects the platform and switches themes appropriately.**
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. The `theme` command detects the platform (WSL vs macOS)
|
|
2. **On WSL:** Updates Neovim, Windows Terminal, and Windows system theme
|
|
3. **On macOS:** Updates Neovim and Alacritty themes via Nix configuration
|
|
4. Uses the same `nvim_color_scheme` file for Neovim on both platforms
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. **The configuration is already set up!** The `theme` command is available as a fish alias.
|
|
|
|
2. **To switch themes, use the unified command:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
theme light # Switch to light theme
|
|
theme dark # Switch to dark theme
|
|
theme toggle # Toggle between light and dark themes
|
|
theme status # Show current theme status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Unified Theme Command
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Switch to light theme (works on WSL and macOS)
|
|
theme light
|
|
|
|
# Switch to dark theme (works on WSL and macOS)
|
|
theme dark
|
|
|
|
# Toggle between light and dark themes
|
|
theme toggle
|
|
|
|
# Show current theme status
|
|
theme status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### What Gets Updated
|
|
|
|
**On WSL:**
|
|
- Neovim theme (via `~/.local/share/nvim_color_scheme`)
|
|
- Windows Terminal settings
|
|
- Windows system theme
|
|
- Windows sound scheme
|
|
|
|
**On macOS:**
|
|
- Neovim theme (via `~/.local/share/nvim_color_scheme`)
|
|
- Alacritty theme (via Nix configuration)
|
|
|
|
### Manual Configuration (macOS only)
|
|
You can also manually edit `nixos/home/danny/home.nix` and change:
|
|
```nix
|
|
isLightTheme = true; # for light theme
|
|
isLightTheme = false; # for dark theme
|
|
```
|
|
Then run: `cd nixos && sudo darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#Daniel-Macbook-Air`
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
- `scripts/theme.sh` - **Main unified theme switching script**
|
|
- `scripts/switch-alacritty-theme.sh` - Alacritty-specific theme switching (used by theme.sh)
|
|
- `scripts/detect-system-theme.sh` - Detects current macOS system theme (for reference)
|
|
- `nixos/fish.nix` - Contains the `theme` fish alias
|
|
- `nixos/home/danny/home.nix` - Contains the conditional Alacritty configuration
|
|
- `bashscripts/wsl_theme.sh` - Legacy WSL script (replaced by theme.sh)
|
|
|
|
## Theme Colors
|
|
|
|
### Catppuccin Latte (Light)
|
|
- Background: `#eff1f5` (base)
|
|
- Foreground: `#4c4f69` (text)
|
|
- Accent colors optimized for light backgrounds
|
|
|
|
### Catppuccin Mocha (Dark)
|
|
- Background: `#1e1e2e` (base)
|
|
- Foreground: `#cdd6f4` (text)
|
|
- Accent colors optimized for dark backgrounds
|
|
|
|
## Integration with NixOS
|
|
|
|
The solution uses Nix's conditional configuration in `home.nix`:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
colors = let
|
|
isLightTheme = true; # Change this to switch themes
|
|
|
|
lightColors = { /* Catppuccin Latte colors */ };
|
|
darkColors = { /* Catppuccin Mocha colors */ };
|
|
in if isLightTheme then lightColors else darkColors;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This approach:
|
|
- ✅ Works with Spotlight/Applications folder launches
|
|
- ✅ No complex file reading or external dependencies
|
|
- ✅ Integrates cleanly with NixOS configuration
|
|
- ✅ Simple and reliable - just change a boolean and rebuild
|
|
- ✅ Easy to understand and maintain |
