About:
hokkaido
is a simple python program that will slowly pulse the colors of your terminals in a sort of "breathing" pattern
Why?
I created hokkaido
because I was tired of staring at a solid color text-mode terminal all day, and I wanted to add some vibrancy to my rice without using anything too distracting
How does it work?
hokkaido
looks at all of the open terminals in /dev/pts/
and sends a special escape sequence containing the current color to each one.
To make sure that your terminal supports the escape sequences needed, run printf "\033]11;#ffff00\007"
. You terminal's background color should now be a solid yellow color
Installation:
git clone http://github.com/geremachek/hokkaido
cd hokkaido/
pip install --user .
