Can't set colors with environment variable
mdilena opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
Setting custom colors via environment variables TYPEWRITTEN_COLOR_MAPPINGS
and TYPEWRITTEN_COLORS
doesn't seem to work for me, either when setting them on the fly or putting them into ~/.zshrc
.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Ubuntu Studio 20.04 (xfce)
- xfce4-terminal
Hey @mdilena !
Thanks for the issue!
Can I take a peak at your .zshrc? I'll try out your config on my machine.
Hi @reobin , sure here's the content, it's pretty simple at the moment! I forgot to mention that I'm installing through oh-my-zsh
into $ZSH_CUSTOM
# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH="/home/mdilena/.oh-my-zsh"
# Set name of the theme to load --- if set to "random", it will
# load a random theme each time oh-my-zsh is loaded, in which case,
# to know which specific one was loaded, run: echo $RANDOM_THEME

ZSH_THEME="typewritten/typewritten"
# Set list of themes to pick from when loading at random
# Setting this variable when ZSH_THEME=random will cause zsh to load
# a theme from this variable instead of looking in $ZSH/themes/
# If set to an empty array, this variable will have no effect.
# ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES=( "robbyrussell" "agnoster" )

I tried with and without symlinks, as explained in the guide, just to see if there was any issue with $TYPEWRITTEN_ROOT
not finding the correct path to subfolders, but no luck.
Actually I'm having the same problem, but more strange than just don't working, it don't work when I first open the terminal, but if i source .zshrc
it works.
@gabrielzschmitz I had this issue too, I had to move my customizations to before source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
. It works fine now
Though I have noticed that TYPEWRITTEN_RELATIVE_PATH="off"
doesn't work. While not directly related to colors, it is an ENV variable.
To get around it I've just forked the repo and created a layout exactly how I wanted then pulled that into my custom themes for oh-my-zsh. Not ideal but it works.
Sorry for the delay! I have been very busy with my personal life.
@CrystalJewell Thank you for mentioning sourcing oh-my-zsh after anything related to the zsh prompt. That's expected for any zsh prompts. @gabrielzschmitz can you confirm if that works for you? If you have moved on, I'll close the issue, thanks for creating it!
As for the TYPEWRITTEN_RELATIVE_PATH="off"
not working, I'll create an issue where we can feed it with more info.
