  • paris.palette
  • tokio.palette
  • oslo.palette
  • helsinki.palette
  • berlin.palette
  • london.palette

Requirements

• Ptyxis installed.
• sed, bash or zsh.
• curl or wget.

Installation

• One-liner:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xscriptor/terminal/main/ptyxis/install.sh | bash

or

• Download the repo, enter the directory, and run the installer:
  • chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
• What the installer does:
  • Uses local .palette files if present; otherwise downloads them from the repository.
  • Copies all palettes to ~/.local/share/org.gnome.Ptyxis/palettes.
  • Sets x as default (Primary=true) and clears Primary for the others.
  • Appends aliases to ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc for quick theme switching.
• Reload your shell session:
  • source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc

Uninstall

• Remote one‑liner:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xscriptor/terminal/main/ptyxis/uninstall.sh | bash
# or
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xscriptor/terminal/main/ptyxis/uninstall.sh | bash

• Local:

chmod +x uninstall.sh && ./uninstall.sh

Switching Themes

• Generic function:
  • ptyx <theme_basename>
  • Example: ptyx oslo marks oslo.palette as Primary=true.
• Ready-to-use aliases:
  • City names: ptyxx, ptyxmadrid, ptyxlahabana, ptyxseul, ptyxmiami, ptyxparis, ptyxtokio, ptyxoslo, ptyxhelsinki, ptyxberlin, ptyxlondon, ptyxpraha, ptyxbogota

Notes

• Ptyxis looks for palettes in ~/.local/share/org.gnome.Ptyxis/palettes. The Primary flag defines the default palette.
• If changes are not reflected immediately, open a new Ptyxis window or select the palette in preferences.
• To set a different default, run ptyx <name> to mark it as Primary=true.

Troubleshooting

• Aliases not available:
  • Run source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc.
• Theme not visible:
  • Verify the .palette file exists in ~/.local/share/org.gnome.Ptyxis/palettes.
• Theme change not applied:
  • Ensure only one palette has Primary=true; use ptyx <name> to update flags.
