Feature: Being able to customize the colors and icons
It would be cool if you could customize the UI of bluetui. The syntax (in $HOME/.config/bluetui/config.toml ) could be:
[colors]
connected="hex, rgb, hsl, cmyk, ncol or hwb"
disconnected=""
connected_trusted=""
trusted=""
[icons]
scanning=""
battery=""
headphones=""
speaker=""
You could also maybe add an layout option, to change the layout. The person who made the issue before this one, wanted this so that would be cool. Syntax
layout=[
"paired"
"scanning"
"adpaters"
]
A full config would be this
[keyboard]
toggle_scanning = "s"
toggle_pairing = "p"
toggle_power = "o"
toggle_discovery = "d"
toggle_connect = " "
toggle_trust = "t"
unpair = "u"
pair = "p"
rename = "e"
[colors]
connected="hex, rgb, hsl"
disconnected=""
connected_trusted=""
trusted=""
[icons]
scanning=""
battery=""
headphones=""
speaker=""
layout=[
"paired"
"scanning"
"adpaters"
]
Why would you want to change the icons ? what's the problem with the current ones ? same with colors ? is there anything else beyond just taste ?
For the layout, it has been changed to have paired devices at the start.
I don't find anything wrong with them, it's just that it would be nice for personal preference! Customization is key for consistency.
@pythops I have an argument for at least being able to change the colors, that isn't just personal taste
my terminal theme's "black" color is set to the background color (practically meaning transparent)
when I opened bluetui for the first time, I got confused because I didn't see the selection background color
Some terminal programs use the black color to mean black, others use it to mean "greyed out"; so you can't please all programs with a single setting for it — something is going to be fucked. would love to be able to customize the colors for that reason
for my usecase at least, being able to change what "the black color" means would be lovely
I hope it can be realised. I sometimes can't find the device that I have selected. If I could customise the colours then it would be an easy fix.
I think that might be a problem with your terminal config...
Yes, it's possible. But I still want the possibility of customization, you know, it's really fun to change a color every day.♥️
I have an issue where the highlight colour is the same as text, so I can't read the selected item:
Therefore an ability to customise the colours would be appreciated.
Glad to hear this is getting worked on! For another use case - colorblindness. I find it hard to differentiate between the green and red circles under the "Connection" and "Paired" columns at a glance.
