icons-brew.yazi

Make a hot theme.toml for your Yazi icons with your favorite color palette.
Basically just an adaptation of tiny-devicons-auto-colors.nvim plugin for Yazi.

Screenshots

Dark theme

Light theme

Observe how the default colors (on the left) have been replaced with user-provided colors (on the right). The key lies in selecting the nearest color from the new given palette that matches the original one.

These screenshots were made using the script's default output, which is the same as the one you can find in the catppuccin.toml file. The default config uses the Mocha and Latte palettes for dark and light themes, respectively.

On Tap

If you have a taste for catppuccin flavors, just grab the ready-made catppuccin.toml, rename it to theme.toml and add it to your Yazi config path. You can do this with a single command using wget, but be aware that this will overwrite any existing theme.toml file in your ~/.config/yazi directory:

wget -O ~/.config/yazi/theme.toml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lpnh/icons-brew.yazi/main/catppuccin.toml

That's it, enjoy!

Self-service

Prepare

Use the dark_colors_table and light_colors_table in the config.lua file to apply the desired color palette. There's also some other variables you can adjust to change the color matching results.

Brew

Run the brew.lua script and save the output in a theme.toml file.

Using Bash:

lua brew.lua > theme.toml

Using Nushell:

lua brew.lua | save theme.toml

Serve

Add the generated file to your Yazi config directory:

mv theme.toml ~/.config/yazi/theme.toml

Acknowledgement

• Yazi for the amazing — and Blazing Fast — terminal file manager. The brew.lua follows the same script found on Yazi's repo.
• tiny-devicons-auto-colors.nvim, for the algorithm and implementation logic. I.e. everything on the prepare path and the config.lua file derived from it.
• nvim-web-devicons, for providing and maintaining the icons we all rely on.
• catppuccin, for the soothing pastel theme. The warmest flavors one could ask for.
