libtheme

this is a theming library for the plan 9 graphics system.

theme files are in ndb format. there is a sample in lib/theme.

theme files are read from $home/lib/theme, or /lib/theme if there is no theme file in $home.

applications using the theme library should call themeget to find color values. for example:

	ulong col = themeget("rio", "background", DBlack);

this will look up an ndb record in the theme file that looks like this:

	theme=rio
		background=red

if the key background doesn't exist, it will fall back to DBlack.

installation

mk install
cp lib/theme $home/lib/theme
B $home/lib/theme
