stylix preview

The goal of this project is to make working with Stylix easier by visualizing palettes.

demo of the previewer running alongside a text editor:

features

• list base16 colors from .json, .yaml and .yml
  • copy hex values to clipboard on button press
• choose palettes by either:
  • passing a path as an argument: pixi run start /etc/stylix/palette.json
  • or by pressing f and typing in a valid path at runtime

pixi usage

Pixi configuration lives in pyproject.toml.

• install the environment: pixi install
• run the app: pixi run start /path/to/palette.json
• dev mode (css hot reload): pixi run watch

nix usage

• run the app:
  • nix run
  • nix run . -- /path/to/palette.json
• build the package:
  • nix build
  • artifacts are in ./result
• dev shell:
  • nix develop

uses

• Textual - TUI package
• Pixi - Python package manager
• of course, Nix flakes - reproducible dev shell

ideas, todos

• package the tool into single executable
• rework palette models so the base concept is required and the actual values are dynamic -> no differentiation between base16 and base24 is needed
• add a help page on key ?
• add title, author etc if availble in the file
• list multiple palettes from directory
