Basix

An over-engineered Nix flake for all Base16 and Base24 themes from tinted-theming/schemes, exposed as one convenient library.

How does it work?

For some obscure reason¹ all schemes provided by tinted-theming is in YAML under one unified repository. We convert each YAML scheme to JSON to ensure the schemes are in a format Nix can read, then read them and expose them under a flake output.

How do I use this?

Basix be used as a flake input, or imported from a tarball.

To get a colorscheme, import either schemeData.base16 or schemeData.base24 from the outputs from this flake to import the colorschemes for yourself.

  };
  system = "base16";
  variant = "dark";
}

1. I'm being generous here. The obscure reason is the myth that YAML is human readable. Guess what? It is actually nowhere near human readable and you should avoid it ↩︎
