Extensive Base16 and Base24 library for Nix.

Basix

An over-engineered Nix flake for all Base16 and Base24 themes from tinted-theming/schemes, exposed as one convenient library.

How does it work?

For some obscure reason¹ all schemes provided by tinted-theming is in YAML under one unified repository. We convert each YAML scheme to JSON to ensure the schemes are in a format Nix can read, then read them and expose them under a flake output.

How do I use this?

Basix be used as a flake input, or imported from a tarball.

To get a colorscheme, import either schemeData.base16 or schemeData.base24 from the outputs from this flake to import the colorschemes for yourself.

Footnotes

1. I'm being generous here. The obscure reason is the myth that YAML is human readable. Guess what? It is actually nowhere near human readable and you should avoid it ↩
