picker

Color picker for Plan 9. It has HSLuv, HPLuv, and RGB color space modes and is intended to be used mainly by external programs that need a way to change their color palette.

The implementation of the H* color spaces is taken from here.

Installing

Clone, run mk install

Documentation

See the man page.

Themes

At this moment the only program that actually uses picker is Orca. Nevertheless, since it supports loading themes, it makes sense to describe how to get them on Plan 9:

./themes.rc

The themes are stored in $home/lib/theme. Once an app that supports picker is running, make it start the picker and in case you have the plumb rule from the man page in /mnt/plumb/rules, you can just plumb any theme and the app will receive the new colors.
