Introduction

COSMIC Terminal is a terminal emulator for COSMIC. When I used it, I noticed that with the default theme, i.e., Cosmic Dark, my pywal colors were messed up.

To solve this I manually copied and pasted colors 0-7 and respective foreground and cursor color from the colors.sh file at ~/.cache/wal/colors.sh.

How to use

Generate theme

• First, clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/dharmik2319/pywal-cosmic-term.git

• Then, after cding into the directory, install the dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Now the script is ready for use:

python main.py

That's it. For advanced usage run with -h flag. You can output to a custom file [Default: ./pywal.ron], use your own sample file [Default: ./COSMIC Dark.ron], and give the path to your pywal colors file [Default: ~/.cache/wal/colors].

Apply theme in cosmic-term

• View > Colour Schemes > Dark/Light> Import > /path/to/pywal.ron

• View > Settings > Colour scheme dark/light > pywal

Images for reference

• Before:

  (it may look like the above are normal colours, but with other commands like ls and htop the text is illegible. it is not fixed with wal -R]

• After:

(The terminal and other Cosmic components themed with cosmic_ext_bg_theme.)

Acknowledgement

• Pyron or python-ron made the task a bit easier.
