Leftwm: How do I refresh after making a change to one of the theme configs?

Created on 25 Feb 2021  路  3Comments  路  Source: leftwm/leftwm

First, I'd like to thank you for your hard work, I'm loving LeftWM! DistroTube informed me about it in one of his videos on YouTube.

I have the query mentioned in the title. If I make a change to one of the theme config files, how do I force a refresh so that the changes are picked up?

Right now I'm rebooting, but that is starting to get REAL annoying.

and of course one could bind this to a hotkey:

[[keybind]]
command = "execute"
value = "$HOME/.config/leftwm/theme/current/up"
modifier = ["modkey", "Shift"]
key = "u"

btw: a command to just reload keybinds from the config.toml would be nice as well.

Mod+Shift+R should reload the theme.

Another option is just re-run the up script.
When I'm working on a theme, I just have a terminal open to the theme directory. when I want to test I just run ./up

[[keybind]]
command = "execute"
value = "$HOME/.config/leftwm/theme/current/up"

Thank you guys, that makes sense. I just tried it and it works. Much appreciated.
