HyDE-CLI provides a terminal UI (TUI) allowing a simple way to select themes and other options. + +As HyDE-CLI is a TUI it can be run on a pure terminal session, e.g. `Ctrl+Alt F3`, especially useful as I could not run a terminal after logging into Hyprland session. + +I did have to removed `.config/hypr` directory and reran `Hyde-install` so that the install ran correctly and provided a working desktop environment. + + +--- +Thank you. + +[:globe_with_meridians: Practical.li Website](https://practical.li){target=_blank .md-button} + +[:fontawesome-brands-github: Practical.li GitHub Org](https://github.com/practicalli){target=_blank .md-button} +[:fontawesome-brands-github: practicalli-johnny profile](https://github.com/practicalli-johnny){target=_blank .md-button} + +[:fontawesome-brands-mastodon: @practicalli@clj.social](https://clj.social/@practicalli){target=_blank .md-button} +[:fontawesome-brands-twitter: @practical_li](https://twitter.com/practcial_li){target=_blank .md-button}
