rio terminal's colors not switching after using wallrust #1479
Description
This is a different issue from this wallust issue, because this one involves wallrust, another wallpaper utility that generates colors based on a provided wallpaper using imagemagick.
The issue this time isn't blur, rather, blur here works successfully. However, what I noticed was that despite changing wallpapers and generating templates with wallrust, the color of the rio terminal wasn't changing.
I have here a side-by-side comparison with alacritty:
I used waypaper with a post_command = wallrust "$wallpaper" -v, which essentially runs wallrust to generate a new color configuration based on the provided wallpaper for use by rio (amongst other applications).
Now, after switching wallpapers, this happens:
Note that alacritty's colors change, while rio's doesn't.
I can confirm that wallrust does generate the new color file that rio uses and that rio does use it.
This is wallrust generating the color file:
This is rio reading the new color configuration generated by wallrust, but only after creating a new terminal session, which is the major issue, being that it doesn't change colors within the same terminal session sort of like hot reloading:

# - Available options: 0 and 1.
# Higher the level more rendering features and computations
# will be done like enable font ligatures or emoji support.
# For more information please check the docs.
#
# • filters: A list of paths to RetroArch slang shaders. Might not work with OpenGL.
#
# Example:
[renderer]

level = 1
filters = []
# Keyboard
#
# use-kitty-keyboard-protocol - Enable Kitty Keyboard protocol
#
# disable-ctlseqs-alt - Disable ctlseqs with ALT keys
# - For example: Terminal.app does not deal with ctlseqs with ALT keys
#
# ime-cursor-positioning - Enable IME cursor positioning

# - Default is true
#
# Example:
# [keyboard]

# disable-ctlseqs-alt = false
# ime-cursor-positioning = true
# Fonts
#
# Configure fonts used by the terminal
#
# Note: You can set different font families but Rio terminal
# will always look for regular font bounds whene
#
# You can also set family on root to overwrite all fonts.
# [fonts]
# family = "cascadiamono"
#
# You can also specify extra fonts to load
# [fonts]
# extras = [{ family = "Microsoft JhengHei" }]
#
# In case you want to specify any font feature:
# [fonts]
# features = ["ss02", "ss03", "ss05", "ss19"]
#
# Note: Font features do not have support to live reload on configuration,
# so to reflect your changes, you will need to close and reopen Rio.
#
# You can also disable font hinting. Font hinting is enabled by default.
# [fonts]
# hinting = false
#
# You can also map the specified Unicode codepoints to a particular font.
# [fonts]
# symbol-map = [
# { start = "2297", end = "2299", font-family = "Cascadia Code NF" }
# ]
#
# Simple example:
# [fonts]
# size = 18
#
# [fonts.regular]
# family = "cascadiamono"
# style = "Normal"
# weight = 400
#
# [fonts.bold]
# family = "cascadiamono"
# style = "Normal"
# weight = 800
#
# [fonts.italic]
# family = "cascadiamono"
# style = "Italic"
# weight = 400
#
# [fonts.bold-italic]
# family = "cascadiamono"
# style = "Italic"
# weight = 800
[fonts]
hinting = true
size = 15
# Scroll
#
# You can change how many lines are scrolled each time by setting this option.
#
# Scroll calculation for canonical mode will be based on `lines = (accumulated scroll * multiplier / divider)`,
# If you want a quicker scroll, keep increasing the multiplier.
# If you want to reduce scroll speed you will need to increase the divider.
# You can use both properties also to find the best scroll for you.
#
# Multiplier default is 3.0.
# Divider default is 1.0.
# Example:
[scroll]
multiplier = 3.0
divider = 1.0
# Navigation
#
# "mode" - Define navigation mode
# • NativeTab (MacOS only)
# • Tab
# • Plain
#
# "hide-if-single" - Hide navigation UI if is single.
# "clickable" - Enable click on tabs to switch.
# "current-working-directory" - Show current working directory in navigation.
# "color-automation" - Set a specific color for the tab whenever a specific program is running, or in a specific directory.
#
# Example:
# [navigation]
# mode = "Tab"
# clickable = false
# hide-if-single = true
# current-working-directory = true
# color-automation = []
# Shell
#
# You can set `shell.program` to the path of your favorite shell, e.g. `/bin/fish`.
# Entries in `shell.args` are passed unmodified as arguments to the shell.
#
# Default:
# - (macOS) user login shell
# - (Linux/BSD) user login shell
# - (Windows) powershell
#
# Example 1 using fish shell from bin path:
#
# [shell]
# program = "/bin/fish"
# args = ["--login"]
#
# Example 2 for Windows using powershell
#
# [shell]
# program = "pwsh"
# args = []
#
# Example 3 for Windows using powershell with login
#
# [shell]
# program = "pwsh"
# args = ["-l"]
#
# Example 4 for MacOS with tmux installed by homebrew
#
# [shell]
# program = "/opt/homebrew/bin/tmux"
# args = ["new-session", "-c", "/var/www"]
[shell]
program = "/usr/bin/fish"
args = ["--login"]
# Colors
#
# Colors definition will overwrite any property in theme
# (considering if theme folder does exists and is being used)

# Platform
#
# Rio now allows you to have different configurations per OS
# You can write ovewrite properties like `Shell`, `Navigation`
# and `Window`.
#
# Example:
# [shell]
# # default (in this case will be used only on MacOS)
# program = "/bin/fish"
# args = ["--login"]
#
# [platform]
# # Microsoft Windows overwrite
# windows.shell.program = "pwsh"
# windows.shell.args = ["-l"]
#
# # Linux overwrite
# linux.shell.program = "tmux"
# linux.shell.args = ["new-session", "-c", "/var/www"]
# Log level
#
# This property enables log level filter and file. The default level is "OFF" and the logs are not logged to a file as default.
