Suckless - st -

Getting Decay Theme for st terminal can be a little bit tricky :|

There are a few approaches to make it work, showing a few for now, but will add extra soon :)

The easiest way is using xrdb merge and path/to/xresources, in our case you can use:

xrdb merge ./st/xresources

This only works using the xresources st patch, for example, we're using the siduck's st build that really works nice with this!

Another way is to edit your ~/.Xresources file to match the colors of Decay

To do so, just copy the content of ./st/xresources into your ~/.Xresources file, but make sure to edit the correct section, such as colors section

Note*: If you use .Xresources for your rice colors, then your whole rice will change to Decay Theme colors. Be Aware !

tym -

To get Decay Theme work in tym terminal is quite simple, just head over to tym/ and copy theme.lua to your tym terminal config path:

By default tym terminal config path is ~/.config/tym

cp -r decay-terms/tym/theme.lua ~/.config/tym

If you just installed tym and don't have any previous configurations for tym, you can copy the config.lua:

cp -r decay-terms/tym/config.lua ~/.config/tym

or if you do have custom configurations, then you just add the content of tym/config.lua to your ~/.config/tym/config.lua file.

See the folder tym to get more versions of decay like dark-decay and light-decay.

All you need to do is, once again use your favorite keyboard keys, ctrl+c and ctrl+v :)

To get the Decay Theme in your personal Xresources is easy. Head over the folder xresources of the repo, and then copy the file .Xresources to your home.

cd decay-terms/xresources
cp .Xresources ~

Now merge the info in your system using xrdb:

xrdb merge ~/.Xresources

See the folder xresources to get more versions of decay like dark-decay and light-decay.

Is recommended to put this in your autostart, but not in all cases
