base16-hyprland-lua

This repo provides templates for using Base16 color schemes with Hyprland's new Lua configuration.

If you are using Tinty, please add this to ~/.config/tinty/config.toml with the rest of theme items:

[[items]]
path = "https://github.com/janfreeman/base16-hyprland-lua"
name = "base16-hyprland-lua"
themes-dir = "colors"
write-to-file = ["~/.config/hypr/colors.lua"] # Path to your Hyprland config + file name
hook = "hyprctl reload" # Reloads hyprland after theme change
supported-systems = ["base16"]

Then, in your Hyprland Lua config, simply import it and use it like any variable:

-- Add this to the top of the file
colors = require("colors")

-- And then use it anywhere like so
hl.config({
  general = {
    -- ...
    col = {
      active_border   = { colors = {colors.base0C, colors.base0B}, angle = 45 },
      inactive_border = colors.base01,
    },
    -- ...
  },

Also, If you haven't already done so, it may be a good idea to also run tinty init on Hyprland startup. You can do so by adding a start event in the Hyprland config, like so:

hl.on("hyprland.start", function ()
  hl.exec_cmd("tinty init")
  -- the rest of your autostart items
end)
