convert xresources colors to kitty

README.md

xres to kitty

a quick converter to convert Xresources format color definitions (from terminal.sexy) to Kitty's color configuration format.

usage: ./xres_to_kitty.py < xres_colors.txt >> ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

ideally, you would clear the existing previously generated colors from the kitty conf file before running.

xres_to_kitty.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from sys import stdin, stdout
import re

in_conf = stdin.read()

text = in_conf
text = re.sub('!', '#', text)
text = re.sub('\*.', '', text)
text = re.sub(':', '', text)

stdout.write(text)
