Color automation for navigation

Rio allows specifying color for tabs based on program and path contexts, using the program and path options.

It is possible to combine program and path.

Note: path is only available for MacOS, BSD and Linux.

Program​

The example below sets #FFFF00 as color background whenever nvim is running.

example navigation with program color automation using TopTabexample navigation with program color automation using CollapsedTab

The configuration would be like:

[navigation]
color-automation = [
  { program = "nvim", color = "#FFFF00" }
]

Path​

The example below sets #FFFF00 as color background when in the /home/geg/.config/rio path.

Note: path is only available for MacOS, BSD and Linux.

The configuration would be like:

[navigation]
color-automation = [
  { path = "/home/geg/.config/rio", color = "#FFFF00" }
]
