The other suckless tools don't all share the same option names, so I
didn't consider it too important. st uses -f for font, for instance. I
like that wjt's two-letter options are thing/subthing, and -fn wouldn't
fit that pattern.
What I did was create a "theme" include file that defines variables for
fonts and colors, and my config.h files include that and use the
variables where appropriate.
Some excerpts to show you what I mean:
~/src/suckless/config.h:
static const char normal_bg[] = "#5f5f5f";
static const char normal_fg[] = "#dfdfdf";
static const char select_fg[] = "#000000";
static const char select_bg[] = "#9f9fdf";
static const char font[] = "Inconsolata:size=12";
~/src/suckless/dmenu/config.h:
#include "../config.h"
static const char *fonts[] = { font };
static const char *colors[SchemeLast][2] = {
[SchemeNorm] = { normal_fg, normal_bg },
[SchemeSel] = { select_fg, select_bg },
[SchemeOut] = { normal_bg, normal_fg },
};
~/src/suckless/wjt/config.h:
#include "../config.h"
static const char *fonts[] = { font };
static const char *colors[SchemeLast][2] = {
[SchemePrompt] = { select_fg, select_bg },
[SchemeSlider] = { select_fg, normal_bg },
[SchemeValue] = { select_fg, select_bg },
};
