## What it is
A Python CLI tool that manages and applies a collection of themes for the i3 window manager, updating i3, polybar, and .Xresources configs. It includes install scripts for Arch, Debian, and Ubuntu and backs up existing configurations before switching themes.

## Use cases
- switch i3wm themes from the command line
- apply matching color schemes to i3, polybar, and Xresources
- back up window manager configs before changing themes
- get started with i3wm without configuring everything manually
- find minimal desktop themes for a tiling window manager

## When to choose
- you use i3/i3-gaps with polybar and want quick theme switching
- you want pre-made minimal ricing themes with config backups

## When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE instead of i3
- you don't use polybar or .Xresources
- you need a GUI theme manager
