General writing difficulties about i3wm-themer

[stav121]

Hey, good evening Ian,

There are some general things that need to be changed on the script at the moment, but I lack the time to actually fix them for a while now.

For now I would just recommend you to manually make the changes wherever you want if the script doesn't work properly for you, until I find the time to fix everything.

I have the same problem 😭

Good evening sir,
I lack the time to fix every problem with the script in that period of time, so I'd suggest that you revert every change by copying everything back from your backup (I hope you did as mentioned on the very first step of the script) and then manually copy-paste everything you want from the config in your dotfiles.

EDIT: I'm leaving this open, I'll come back and let you know when when the problem has been addressed and fixed.

I get similar issue when I apply themes:

[nikitin@archlinux scripts]$ ./i3wmthemer -t Forest

Good evening sir!

For all I can tell there are some lines missing in your config files (in the description I mention that the script only overwrites existing lines, it never adds new ones ) , so you could cross-check what lines are missing from your configuration files based on my templates. After that the script should work normally.

Hello sir,

The whole repository has been reworked, so I'm closing this issue for now. In case you meet any new issues then please open a new Issue thread that is more up-to-date.
