wakterm.color.save_scheme(colors, metadata, file_name)

Since: Version 20220807-113146-c2fee766

The functionality described in this section requires version 20220807-113146-c2fee766 of wakterm, or a more recent version.

Saves a color scheme as a wakterm TOML file. This is useful when sharing your custom color scheme with others. While you could share the lua representation of the scheme, the TOML file is recommended for sharing as it is purely declarative: no executable logic is present in the TOML color scheme which makes it safe to consume "random" schemes from the internet.

This example demonstrates importing a base16 scheme and exporting it as a wakterm scheme.

Given a yaml file with these contents:

scheme: "Cupcake"
author: "Chris Kempson (http://chriskempson.com)"
base00: "fbf1f2"
base01: "f2f1f4"
base02: "d8d5dd"
base03: "bfb9c6"
base04: "a59daf"
base05: "8b8198"
base06: "72677E"
base07: "585062"
base08: "D57E85"
base09: "EBB790"
base0A: "DCB16C"
base0B: "A3B367"
base0C: "69A9A7"
base0D: "7297B9"
base0E: "BB99B4"
base0F: "BAA58C"

Then:

> colors, metadata = wakterm.color.load_base16_scheme("/tmp/cupcake.yaml")
> wakterm.color.save_scheme(colors, metadata, "/tmp/cupcacke.toml")

produces a toml file with these contents:

[colors]
ansi = [
    '#fbf1f2',
    '#d57e85',
    '#a3b367',
    '#dcb16c',
    '#7297b9',
    '#bb99b4',
    '#69a9a7',
    '#8b8198',
]
background = '#fbf1f2'
brights = [
    '#bfb9c6',
    '#d57e85',
    '#a3b367',
    '#dcb16c',
    '#7297b9',
    '#bb99b4',
    '#69a9a7',
    '#585062',
]
cursor_bg = '#8b8198'
cursor_border = '#8b8198'
cursor_fg = '#8b8198'
foreground = '#8b8198'
selection_bg = '#8b8198'
selection_fg = '#fbf1f2'
