# mondo - a theme template manager and generator
**mondo** is a great tool to manage and create themes and
other settings for programs that uses configuration files.
[](https://stars.medv.io/budlabs/mondo)
## installation
If you are using **Arch linux**, you can install the
**mondo-generator** package from [AUR].
Or follow the instructions below to install from source:
(*configure the installation destination in the Makefile,
if needed*)
``` text
$ git clone https://github.com/budlabs/mondo.git
$ cd mondo
# make install
$ mondo -v
mondo - version: 0.121
updated: 2019-01-16 by budRich
```
### usage
```text
mondo get VARIABLE
mondo --new|-n NAME
mondo --apply|-a THEME
mondo [--force|-f] --generate|-g THEME|all
mondo [--force|-f] --update|-u GENERATOR [THEME]
mondo --list|-l theme|var|icon|gtk|cursor
mondo --template|-t FILE|[NAME FILE]
mondo --call|-c FUNCTION [THEME]
mondo --help|-h
mondo --version|-v
```
`mondo` applies variables defined in themefiles to
templates defined in generators. `mondo` executes
userdefined scripts before any theme is applied, after each
theme is applies and after all themes are applied. It can
also execute a script after each theme is *generated*.
OPTIONS
-------
`--new`|`-n` NAME
Creates a new theme named **NAME** inside
**MONDO_DIR/themes**.
`--apply`|`-a` THEME
Apply THEME.
`--force`|`-f`
When this flag is set, the `--update` and `--generate`
options will overwrite any existing files when processing
themes.
`--generate`|`-g` all
Generate THEME. If `-f` is used, any existing generated
files will get overwritten. If all is the argument, all
themes will get generated.
`--update`|`-u` GENERATOR
Update GENERATOR. This will update all themes, but only for
the given GENERATOR. If `-f` is used, any existing generated
files will get overwritten. If the last argument is the name
of an existing theme, only that theme will get generated.
`--list`|`-l` cursor
Prints a list about the argument to stdout.
`--template`|`-t` FILE
Create a new generator. If the last argument is a path to
an existing file, that file will be used to create the
template (it will copy the file to *_mondo-template*, and
add the path to the target variable in *_mondo-settings*).
If a path is the only argument, the filename without
extension and leading dot will be used as the name for the
generator.
`--call`|`-c` FUNCTION
Can be used to test the **color functions**,
(*mix,lighter,darker,more,less*) from the commandline.
```text
$ mondo --call "mix #FFFFFF #000000 0.6"
#666666
```
If the last argument is the name of an existing **theme**,
the variables of that theme will be available, otherwise the
variables of the last applied theme is available.
`--help`|`-h`
Show help and exit.
`--version`|`-v`
Show version and exit.
EXAMPLES
--------
With **mondo** you can have several small theme files that
might look something like this:
**MONDO_DIR/themes/example**
```
! example theme
background #FFFFD8
background-alt %%more background 0.12%%
foreground #988d6d
comment %%mix background foreground 0.524%%
red #CD5C5C
green #8EAE71
blue #0287c8
yellow #CDFFCC
cyan #8FCCCC
magenta #8888CC
highlight magenta
font Hack 12
```
It is really easy to create custom templates and actions
(scripts) that will use the theme files.
An example of how the theme above could be:
* apply values to polybar, i3, xresources
* execute a script in which polybar, i3, and xrdb is reloaded
See the [wiki] for a more details on how to use **mondo**.
## updates
### 2019.02.20.5
Added default to **$XDG_CONFIG_DIR**, fixes issue [#14].
### 2019.01.16.0
Major refactoring to make use of the [bashbud] framework.
[bashbud]: https://github.com/budlabs/bashbud
#### color functions
Added some color manipulation functions that can be used
both in themes and templates and the commandline:
**MONDO_DIR/themes/muh-theme**
```text
bg #FFFFFF
fg #000000
red #FF0000
comment %%mix bg fg 0.6%%
darkred %%darker red 0.465%%
bg2 %%less bg 0.33%%
green %%more #00FF00 0.3%%
```
**less** and **more** works like this:
First **mondo** determines whether target color is *dark*
or *light*. If the color is *light* and the command is
**more**, the result will be **more light** (same results
as if the command was **lighter**). If the color is *dark*
and the command is **more**, the result will be **more
dark** (same results as if the command was **darker**).
It is also possible to use the functions on the
commandline:
`mondo --call|-c FUNCTION [THEME]`
```text
$ mondo --call "mix #FFFFFF #000000 0.6"
#666666
```
If the last argument is the name of an existing **theme**,
the variables of that theme will be available:
```text
$ mondo --call "mix #FFFFFF darkred 0.123" muh-theme
#F0DFDF
```
#### colorformat
A new setting is now available in **template-setting**
files: `colorformat`. If set, all expanded variables in
affected template will have that format.
**MONDO_DIR/generator/muh-generator/_mondo-settings**
```text
# uncomment the colorformat below to use HEX (00-FF)
# This is how fully opaque "white" would look like
# with this format: #FFFFFFFF
# colorformat="#%R%G%B%A"
# uncomment the colorformat below to use RGB (0-255)
# This is how fully opaque "white" would look like
# with this format: 255,255,255,255
# colorformat="%r,%g,%b,%a"
```
#### fixes
Various small bugfixes, f.i. to use the `Inject` template
setting, it's value must be either `True` or `true` .
When using the `--list` command, variables with values
containing whitespace, now gets printed properly.
## known issues
Mondo makes ricing so fun and easy, that it might cause
addiction.
