Rainbou

Rainbou [reyn-boh] is a command-line tool that generates themes for a diversity of programs (as long as it has templates written for them).

Given a color scheme and a template file, rainbou will generate a theme and print it to stdout (your terminal's screen).

Installation

go get -u github.com/tudurom/rainbou

You can use the same command for updating the program.

Usage

─── ./rainbou
Usage:
  $ rainbou <scheme_file> <template_file> - generate theme and print it on the screen
  $ rainbou ls <schemes|templates|s|t> - list bundled color schemes/templates

Where scheme_file is the name or the path of the color scheme file and
template_file is the name or the path of the color scheme file.

Color scheme format

Color scheme files are yaml files that have the following structure:

metadata:
  name: foo
  author: bar
colors:
  bg: "000000"
  fg: "ffffff"
  cr: "ffffff"

  00: "aaaaaa"
  08: "bbbbbb"

  01: "cccccc"
  09: "dddddd"

  ...

  07: "eeeeee"
  15: "ffffff"

Where bg is the background color, fg is the foreground color, cr is the color of the cursor and 00 to 15 are terminal ANSI color code numbers. Colors are written as an HTML color code without the leading #.

Full example.

Template file format

Template files are normal Go template files. Example:

! {{.Metadata.Name}} by {{.Metadata.Author}}

! special
*.foreground:   #{{index .ColorMap "fg" "hex"}}
*.background:   #{{index .ColorMap "bg" "hex"}}
*.cursorColor:  #{{index .ColorMap "cr" "hex"}}

! black
*.color0:       #{{index .ColorMap "00" "hex"}}
*.color8:       #{{index .ColorMap "08" "hex"}}

! red
*.color1:       #{{index .ColorMap "01" "hex"}}
*.color9:       #{{index .ColorMap "09" "hex"}}

! green
*.color2:       #{{index .ColorMap "02" "hex"}}
*.color10:      #{{index .ColorMap "10" "hex"}}

! yellow
*.color3:       #{{index .ColorMap "03" "hex"}}
*.color11:      #{{index .ColorMap "11" "hex"}}

! blue
*.color4:       #{{index .ColorMap "04" "hex"}}
*.color12:      #{{index .ColorMap "12" "hex"}}

! magenta (or orange)
*.color5:       #{{index .ColorMap "05" "hex"}}
*.color13:      #{{index .ColorMap "13" "hex"}}

! cyan
*.color6:       #{{index .ColorMap "06" "hex"}}
*.color14:      #{{index .ColorMap "14" "hex"}}

! white
*.color7:       #{{index .ColorMap "07" "hex"}}
*.color15:      #{{index .ColorMap "15" "hex"}}

! vim: set ft=xdefaults :

{{.Metadata.Name}} is the name of the color scheme and {{.Metadata.Author}} is the name of the Author.

Colors can be written as:

{{index .ColorMap "<code>" "<format>"}}

Where <code> is a number from 00 to 15 and <format> is any of the following:

• hex - HTML color code without the leading #

• hexbgr - like hex but with the color components reversed (123456 -> 563412)

• dhex - "double" hex; like hex but with color components doubled (123456 -> 121234345656)

• rgb - array consisting of three color components. The values are in the [0-255] range. To access the R component:

  {{index .ColorMap "<code>" "rgb" 0}}
  

• srgb - same as rgb but with values ranging from 0 to 1.
