Alacritty Theme Switcher

This script allows you to easily switch between different themes for your Alacritty terminal. It allows you to select a theme and automatically apply it by replacing the alacritty.toml configuration file with your selected theme. After applying the theme, Alacritty will restart to reflect the changes.

Installation

Steps to Use

1. Copy the themes/ folder to your Alacritty configuration directory:

   Copy the themes/ folder into your $HOME/.config/alacritty/ directory:

2. Give execute permissions to the script:

   chmod +x alacritty_theme_switcher.sh

3. Run the script to select and apply a theme:

   ./alacritty_theme_switcher.sh

This will present a list of available themes. Select a theme, and the script will automatically apply it and restart Alacritty.
