Xcfg is a script written in Python 3 that allows you to quickly and easily switch between Xdefault files with a nice TUI.
Xcfg can:
- replace .Xdefaults
- read pretty names from config files
- run in both TUI and CLI
- adapt to most environments, color-wise
- disable all Xdefaults files temporarily
- run in a TTY (so long as you restart X when you're done)
you'll want to run Xcfg once, to create the Xres folder in your home directory.
from here, you can copy a bunch of .Xdefault files, and add: ! [title here] to
the top of each, obviously replacing brackets and 'title here' with what you'd like
to call your configuration. now, you can use Xcfg two ways:
this mode is the default, just run Xcfg to access it. use the arrow keys to move
the cursor around and press ENTER to apply a config. press BACKSPACE to quit with
no changes, or DEL to disable all configs temporarily.
this mode is invoked like so:
Xcfg --mini
you use your number keys to get around mini mode, just press the number key corresponding to the menu entry you'd like to select and then press enter to select it. follow the on-screen instructions.
here's a scrot of max mode running in xterm :)
