flavours [options] command [args]

flavours is a Base16 theme manager written in Rust. It applies consistent color schemes across multiple applications by generating configuration files from templates.Base16 provides 16-color schemes designed to work across terminals, editors, and other applications. flavours automates applying these schemes to all configured applications simultaneously.

~/.config/flavours/config.toml

Defines which applications receive theme updates and their template mappings. Each item specifies a target file, template name, and optional subtemplate.

$ [[items]]
file = "~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml"
template = "alacritty"
subtemplate = "default-256"

[[items]]
file = "~/.config/nvim/colors/base16.vim"
template = "vim"

Requires templates for each application. Not all applications support Base16. Applications may need restart after theme change. Template syntax must be correct.

flavours was created as a Rust alternative to existing Base16 managers. Base16 itself was created by Chris Kempson to provide a consistent theming architecture across different applications.
