NAME

Color::Theme - Color theme structure

VERSION

This document describes version 0.10.1 of Color::Theme (from Perl distribution Color-Theme), released on 2018-02-25.

DESCRIPTION

This module specifies a structure for color themes. The distribution also comes with utility routines and roles for managing color themes in applications.

SPECIFICATION

Color theme is a DefHash containing these keys: v (float, should be 1.1), name (str), summary (str), no_color (bool, should be set to 1 if this is a color theme without any colors), and colors (hash, the colors for items; hash keys are item names and hash values are color values).

A color value should be a scalar containing a single color code which is 6-hexdigit RGB color (e.g. ffc0c0), or a hashref containing multiple color codes, or a coderef which should produce a color code (or a hash of color codes).

Multiple color codes are used to support foreground/background values or ANSI color codes that are not representable by RGB, among other things. The keys are: fg (RGB value for foreground), bg (RGB value for background), ansi_fg (ANSI color escape code for foreground), ansi_bg (ANSI color escape code for background). Future keys like css can be defined.

Allowing coderef as color allows for flexibility, e.g. for doing gradation border color, random color, etc. See, for example, Text::ANSITable::ColorTheme::Demo. Code will be called with ($self, %args) where %args contains various information, like name (the item name being requested), etc. In Text::ANSITable, you can get the row position from $self->{_draw}{y}.
