A practical guide for detecting whether a terminal is using a light or dark theme and adjusting application colors accordingly. Focuses on Rust but is portable to other languages. Covers using the OSC escape sequence via the terminal-light crate to get background luma, then applying dynamic color skins with Crossterm. Also touches on advanced topics like computing color ranges, reading skin configurations from files, and supporting user-defined themes as done in the broot file manager.
