The configs are in ~/.config/gtkreate/gtkreaterc. In order to change the generated theme you need to change this file.

Use with base16 and flavours

You can use this tool together with the amazing flavours for base 16. execute the following commands to make the template available:

git clone https://github.com/MatteoDep/base16-gtkreate.git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/flavours/base16/templates/gtkreate
cp base16-gtkreate/templates ~/.local/share/flavours/base16/templates/gtkreate/
rm -rf base16-gtkreate

In your gtkreaterc make sure to wrap your color definitions with # Start/End flavours like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Start flavours
BG=2E3440
FG=E5E9F0
... other colors ...
# End flavours

ROUNDNESS=0
SPACING=3
... other settings ...

and put this in your ~/.config/flavours/config.toml
