A neutral yet colorful theme that brings about an odd sense of nostalgia.

1. Place this the color-nostalgia.Xresources file somewhere convenient
2. Include the file in your ~/.Xresources
3. Make sure xrdb load ~/.Xresources is being called somewhere when you start your window manager.

#include "/home/mitch/src/dots/themes/color-nostalgia.Xresources"

Place the provided .conf into ~/.config/sway/config.d

Then add this to your sway config:

include ~/.config/sway/config.d/*.conf
client.focused   $color0 $background $foreground $color5 $color2
client.unfocused $color0 $background $foreground $color5 $color1

Place kitty/color-nostalgia.conf inside ~/.config/kitty

Then at the top of your ~/.config/kitty.conf:

include ./color-nostalgia.conf

Option 1: Using Firefox Color

1. Install the Firefox Color add-on
2. Click here to import the config

Option 2: Theme Addon

addon got taken down, todo

This could potentially be improved but this is what I use for now:

set background=light
hi signColumn ctermbg=NONE

i3 can also grab from ~/.Xresources

set_from_resource $fg foreground
set_from_resource $bg background
set_from_resource $foc_border   color4
set_from_resource $unfoc_border color2

# class                 border  backgr. text indicator child_border
client.focused          $foc_border     $bg     $fg  $bg       $foc_border
client.focused_inactive $bg             $bg     $fg  $bg       $unfoc_border
client.unfocused        $unfoc_border   $bg     $fg  $bg       $unfoc_border
client.urgent           $bg             $bg     $fg  $bg       $foc_border
client.placeholder      $bg             $bg     $fg  $bg       $foc_border

client.background       $bg

Polybar can grab colors from ~/.Xresources, I recommend the below:

[colors]
background = ${xrdb:background}
foreground = ${xrdb:foreground}
foreground-alt = ${xrdb:color4}
primary = ${xrdb:color1}
secondary = ${xrdb:color5}
alert = ${xrdb:color3}

For suckless programs, see the headers in the /suckless directory. You can include these with #include in your config.h

Note I have a many patches in my build, so the headers are built with as much of the color capabilities turned on.
May need to edit to fit your builds :)

Looks really great with redshift!
Example: redshift.conf
