ZTC — TUI for managing Zellij themes, layouts and sessions (plus Alacritty/Kitty config)

[wadevelopers]

Hi everyone — sharing a project I've been building: ZTC (Zellij & Terminal Config), a TUI to manage Zellij themes / layouts / sessions and the host terminal's colors and settings (Alacritty and Kitty supported), all from one interface without having to remember each tool's config syntax.

Repo: https://github.com/wadevelopers/ztc

What it does

• Pick or edit the active Zellij theme; custom themes editable slot by slot (legacy ANSI palette + the rich UI slots in themes).
• Visual layout editor: tabs, panes, splits, sizes, names, pane default_bg / default_fg, command / args / cwd, etc.
• Sessions list with attach / new / rename / delete; also a standalone CLI (zsm) usable as a pre-Zellij prompt.
• Terminal colors and settings sync with the active Zellij theme on save.

There's also a small retro-style walkthrough that combines pane colors, terminal settings and a Zellij layout into a C64-ish boot screen, as an end-to-end example: https://github.com/wadevelopers/ztc/blob/main/doc/C64_SHOWCASE.md
