Re-running the command will result in a different theme each time.  ### Generate Light Theme `$ colorstorm -l` This command will generate a random editable **light** color theme. Re-running the command will result in a different theme each time.  ### Generate Monochromatic Theme `$ colorstorm -m` This command will generate a random **monochromatic** color theme. Re-running the command will result in a different theme each time.  ### Using a Reference Image You can pass a reference image to colorstorm, which will convert it into a set of colored ASCII half-block characters and render it above the theme editor. When an image is provided, you can toggle between viewing the image and the list of colors in the image using the `~` key. #### Demo Image:  `$ colorstorm -i `  ### Using the Color Picker When passing a reference image to colorstorm, you can use the built-in color picker to select colors directly from the image to use in your theme. When a theme field is focused (i.e. Background, Foreground, etc), press `p` to enable the color picker. A white crosshair will appear on the image, and you can use the arrow keys to move the crosshair around the image. The focused color will update with whatever color is under the cursor in real time. #### Demo Image:  `$ colorstorm -i `  ## Examples ### [Earthbound Themes](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=benbusby.earthbound-themes) [](https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=5920) [](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=benbusby.earthbound-themes) [](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Earthbound%20Themes) ### Earthbound  ### Moonside  ### Zombie Threed  ### Fire Spring  ### Devil's Machine  ### Dusty Dunes  ### Magicant (Light Theme)  ### Cave of the Past (Monochrome)
