make-colors

Generate a colors.toml file for a theme directory by extracting colors from terminal theme configs.

What It Does

• Reads a theme directory containing alacritty.toml, kitty.conf, warp.yaml, or ghostty.conf.
• Extracts required colors and writes colors.toml into the same directory.
• Prefers alacritty.toml when present; otherwise falls back to ghostty.conf, then warp.yaml or kitty.conf.

Installation

Make the script executable and optionally symlink it into ~/.local/bin:

chmod +x make-colors.sh
ln -s "$(pwd)/make-colors.sh" ~/.local/bin/make-colors

Then run:

make-colors /path/to/theme-dir

Usage

./make-colors.sh /path/to/theme-dir

If the provided path is relative and does not exist, the script also checks:

./omarchy-<name>-theme

in the current directory.

If the provided path includes a directory, the script also checks:

<dir>/omarchy-<name>-theme

where <dir> is the parent directory of the argument.

Example:

./make-colors.sh themes/omarchy-foo-theme

Path fallback example:

./make-colors.sh themes/foo

If themes/foo is missing, the script checks themes/omarchy-foo-theme.

Batch example:

./make-colors.sh themes/*

Non-directories and directories without theme files are skipped, and existing colors.toml files are left untouched.

Expected Theme Layout

themes/omarchy-foo-theme/
  alacritty.toml
  kitty.conf
  warp.yaml
  ghostty.conf

Only one or more of the config files needs to exist, but the combined data must provide all required colors.

Output

Creates if not present:

themes/omarchy-foo-theme/colors.toml

Requirements

• POSIX sh
• awk

Notes

• The script exits with a list of missing color keys if any required values are not found.
• colors.toml is written via a temp file and then moved into place.
• The script logs [INFO], [SKIP], [SUCCESS], and [FAILURE] messages for each argument.
