24 bit colors

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use a color theme for emacs and tmux, this theme is Dracula. I would like to set typewritten colors that match this theme.
Describe the solution you'd like
This would be possible if I could set any 24 bit color code instead of only one of the ANSI colors.
Additional context
The image below shows the colors I use with tmux, I would like the typewritten prompt and current directory to also use colors directly from the Dracula theme, to match the rest of the colors.
Hi @barischrooneyj !
Turns out this is definitely possible if your terminal supports true color.
It would technically be possible right now if the regex validating the TYPEWRITTEN_COLORS variable wasn't so restrictive.
I'll update this today so that you can create your theme.
Hex color codes will be supported like this:
export TYPEWRITTEN_COLORS="prompt:#008080;symbol:#682d1e;git_branch:#30bf2d;current_directory:#8ac988"I'm quite happy with how this one turned out, and gives me the idea of creating themes for the prompt! A theme could simply be a preset of color settings. Dracula could be the first one 🚀
I'm not normally that fast, but this was a quick fix.
npm update -g typewritten (or whatever you had it installed with) 😊
@barischrooneyj I just pushed a new version which will make it easier to create themes.
When you're up to date, add this variable to your .zshrc and you should have a nice dracula theme going on.
export TYPEWRITTEN_COLOR_MAPPINGS="primary:#9580FF;secondary:#8AFF80;accent:#FFFF80;info_negative:#FF80BF;info_positive:#8AFF80;info_neutral_1:#FF9580;info_neutral_2:#FFFF80;info_special:#80FFEA"@reobin this looks great! thank you very much!
Perhaps adding some information to the wiki about where the different color components (e.g. info_negative:#FF80BF) are used, would be useful.
Thanks again!
I actually just did that!
Not sure about the readability since there is now quite a lot of info on that page. Might separate into sub-pages later.
@all-contributors please add @barischrooneyj for ideas
