## Project overview
*Tempus* is a collection of themes for Vim, text editors, and terminal
emulators that are compliant *at the very least* with the WCAG AA
accessibility standard for colour contrast (which stands for a minimum
contrast ratio of 4.50:1—while some items have a 7.00:1 rating, or else
WCAG AAA).
Colour schemes range from subdued and slightly desaturated, to vibrant
and highly saturated. Each item in the Tempus collection consists of
a 16-colour palette that corresponds to the basic values provided by all
modern terminal emulators, namely: black, red, green, yellow, blue,
magenta, cyan, white, bright black, bright red, bright green, bright
yellow, bright blue, bright magenta, bright cyan, bright white.
Themes come in either a light or a dark variant. This is to ensure
colour contrast consistency.
Tempus themes are interoperable nonetheless. They are meant to work as
a one-to-one replacement to each other, especially for items within the
same contrast ratio boundary. This is due to their inherent colour
qualities as well as their shared schema for mapping colours to objects
of the code syntax.

## Applications
### How to use this repo
The Tempus themes project consists of a number of specialised
repositories for each of the available ports. The current repo serves as
the main hub, providing the overview of the project, and bundling all
existing themes together.
Each directory herein contains files specific to the application it
references. For example, the `urxvt` directory includes an `.Xresources`
file for each item in the Tempus themes collection.
Instructions on how to use these files are documented in the `README.md`
which is included in each directory. Exceptions are the
`shell-variables`, `xcolors` and `yaml` directories, which include
generic files.
### App-specific repositories

### External project integrations
New project (2020-03-09):
+ [Foot term for Wayland](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot): A fast,
lightweight and minimalistic terminal emulator for the Wayland display
protocol that has the Tempus themes built-in.
* [iterm2 and roxterm](https://gitlab.com/realh69/convert-tempus)
converter: a python program that generates valid files for these two
terminal emulators. To use it, you need to also clone this repo or
download its YAML files (per the project's README).
Older projects that I have not checked in more than two years. They
probably have older versions of the themes:
* [Oomox](https://gitlab.com/actionless/oomox): graphical application
for generating different color variations of a Numix-based and Materia
(ex-Flat-Plat) themes (GTK2, GTK3), Gnome-Colors and Archdroid icon
themes.
* [pywal](https://gitlab.com/dylanaraps/pywal): `pywal` is a tool that
generates a color palette from the dominant colors in an image. It
also supports predefined themes and has over 250 themes built-in. You
can also create your own theme files to share with others.
* [wpgtk](https://gitlab.com/deviantfero/wpgtk): `wpgtk` uses pywal as
it's colorscheme generator, but builds upon it with a UI and other
features, such as the abilty to mix and edit the colorschemes
generated and save them with their respective wallpapers, having light
and dark themes, hackable and fast GTK+ theme made specifically for
`wpgtk` and custom keywords and values to replace in templates.
*NOTE: If you add the Tempus themes to your project, open an issue to
include it on this list.*
