btop

• install from here: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

Themes should be placed in "../share/btop/themes" relative to binary or "$HOME/.config/btop/themes"

• copy 'rosedust.theme' from this repo into one of those paths
• add color_theme = "YOUR/CHOSEN/PATH" to your btop.conf file, it should be in $HOME/.config/btop.

TO-DO

• Define an official palette and tweak some of these themes to reflect it, particularly joplin and kitty. These themes have not been uploaded yet for this reason.
• Add the color config I use in i3.conf

Theme the following applications, if I can figure out how:

• vs code
• signal desktop
• bitwarden desktop
• steam

(basically all the other apps that I use every day. some of those might be tricky, so if you would like to help, let me know.)
