Aquarelle

Can be the following:

• An experimental environment for color scheming.
• A (pre)processor for color configuration files whose format is based on plain text.
• A way to customize the appearance of software declaratively.
• Let's say a part of my personal rice (the aquarelle namespace).

The current state is:

• Incomplete documentation.
• The CLI is functional, the GUI is not.
• The API seems stable.

Development and testing

The following commands are assumed to be executed with bash in the project directory:

1. Configure the project directory: meson setup build --prefix ~/install_dir
   Change ~/install_dir to the directory of your choice, and now you can use cargo properly.

2. Run the CLI version as follows: cargo run --features cli
   To use arguments, append: -- <arg1> <arg2> <...>

3. Before running the GUI version, the settings schema must be compiled:

   mkdir -p ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
   ln -s $(pwd)/build/data/io.github.ejaa3.Aquarelle.Devel.gschema.xml ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
   glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

   Now you can run the GUI version: cargo run --features gui --bin gui

4. Installation: meson install -C build
