i3 wm using different "style"

Hey all

I'm a i3wm user .. (next to try sway) I have a question, I m a guy who like often change i3 appearence like ... i3block style, colors ... and so one ... everything almost in order do doing that (I m a bit lazy guy) I created several users (4) LOL but it is not the best I know ... I would like to have just an user but can change fast the i3wm style ... consider that even terms colors change by the settings ... there is some way to do so ? I don't wanna spend changing file by file .. maybe create a script that allow me to choose each time and move all the config file at all on the start up ... but maybe there is some best idea !!!

what do you think ??

Re: i3 wm using different "style"

Probably centralizing the colors in xrdb, https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#xresources and change the xrdb and reload the i3 config

even terms colors change by the settings

That will heavily depend on the terminal being used by there're ANSII sequences to change (some) colors of xterm and urxvt and others might expose the theme configuration eg. via dbus

You're aware of tools like https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-pywal/ ?
