Readme on how to use with helix

[forivall]

It would be great to have some info on how to set up helix to use with this! (Found via your comment here)

If you don't mind using the Catppuccin theme [1] (specifically, th Mocha and Latte variants), then you can change your Helix config to be like my config [2]. If you'd like to use your own themes, you'd need to edit the source code!

Otherwise, no specific set-up is needed.

Thanks so much! Yeah, this will be enough to get me going.

((long parenthetical) though i'll re-visit it when i properly set up the helix theme to my liking. I'll need to port over my modestly customized vscode versions of base16/tomorrow themes (which i've recently coined as tuesday (light) and thursday (dark)))

Unfortunately, Catppuccin is too blue-colored for my taste, not good for my poor eyes.

So far, with my light use of helix, i've just used base16_transparent modified to work better with my iterm config with a light/dark AutoLaunch python script, so with the transparent theme, it just uses the terminal colors already, the colors switch, but i'm missing a couple extra customizations.

I agree re: Catppuccin being a little too blue. Those 2 variants I use I find to be the most bearable. I at the moment wouldn't dare attempt to customse it or make a new theme, since there's themes for almost every app, for Catppuccin. 😅

I had no idea that iTerm had the kind of functionality, so it's interesting to see.
