Easiest way to set up gum to use system colours by default about gum HOT 8 CLOSED

Hey! You can use the base 16 colors as a color to any style flag for gum (this will use the shell theme):

For example, a prompt and cursor with your terminal's red color:

gum input --prompt.foreground 1 --cursor.foreground 1

from gum.

Yes! I will definitely make it light theme useable by default and make an easy way to change the theme (something like GUM_DEFAULT_COLOR)

FYI, I improved some of the gum choose and commands on light mode (on latest @main) and adding ENV_VARS to customize by default further so you can make your own gum themes 🙂

Thanks, that helped. But is there any reason not to use system defaults? Could you, please, at least make it usable with light themes by default as well?

Excellent, perhaps with env vars we can do something like so to get the prompt to auto update on system theme change. Short example excerpted from my zsh config, reads MacOS theme setting and updates theme vars on per prompt basis using precmd()

refresh-theme() (
if [ "$(defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle 2>/dev/null)" = "Dark" ];
  then echo 'dark'
  else echo 'light'
fi;
)
export EXAMPLE_GUM_THEME_SETTING=$(refresh-theme)
precmd() { export EXAMPLE_GUM_THEME_SETTING=$(refresh-theme) }

Was just looking for this lol, btw, any way to pass in colors (specifically for choose) as flags? I want to change the pink to default ANSI red

from gum.

@AnishDe12020 Yes, you can do <options> | gum choose --selected.foreground 1

from gum.

Fixed by #92 which is available in the latest v0.4.0 release!

You can set up default colours by setting environment variables.
