click-extra themes - Render a sample help screen under each theme, one after another.

click-extra themes [OPTIONS] [auto|THEME]...

Render a sample help screen under each theme, one after another.

Each palette is applied in turn to the same throwaway CLI so the themes can be eyeballed back to back. A terminal keeps a single background, so light-background themes (light, manpage) look washed out on a dark terminal, and dark themes look washed out on a light one.

Without an argument the whole registry is rendered, alphabetically: the built-in palettes, plus any a configuration file defines. Name palettes to render only those, in the order given. The auto value stands for the palette the terminal background resolves to, as it does on --theme.

[auto|THEME]...
Palettes to render, in the order given. Defaults to all of them.
