Colors Repo

This repo is a small subset of my colour collection for Github
Keep it simple, generally only using 9 colors. There are a few with some bolds
There's a color file seperate from .Xresources for cleaner switching. Include the file with #include </path/to/crayolo/colors/[file]>
Added matching walls directory
Random color script will display associated wall if exists, else a pattern wall using colors from xrdb

Implementation

Use below in your .Xresources file

#include </path/to/crayolo/colors/[file]>  
  
.... other xresource code goes here  
  
! Colors  
*background:   bg  
*foreground:   fg  
*color0:      blk  
*color8:      bblk  
*color1:      red  
*color9:      bred  
*color2:      grn  
*color10:     bgrn  
*color3:      ylw  
*color11:     bylw  
*color4:      blu  
*color12:     bblu  
*color5:      mag  
*color13:     bmag  
*color6:      cyn  
*color14:     bcyn  
*color7:      wht  
*color15:     bwht

Miscellaneous

Added tile.xbm to the repo [IIRC, I got this off of dcat's github at some point]
Implementation Example xetroot -bitmap $walls/tile.xbm -bg "$(xrdb -query | grep "*background" | awk '{print \$2}')" -fg "$(xrdb -query | grep "*foreground" | awk '{print \$2}')"
use random color picker to get a different color at each wm-start. Place in .xinitrc, or wm config, I suppose
Find me on linuxbbq, forum or IRC on freenode (I'm a weekend warrior)
