+# README for themedetector
+## Overview
+This is a small utility that makes it easy to discover what the current default theme is for gtk3. Patches are welcome for providing support for other versions of gtk.
+
+Implementations exist in C and in Python3. You will need gtk3 development headers to compile the C one.
+
+## Purpose
+Because [reading](https://bgstack15.wordpress.com/2019/07/21/set-gtk2-and-gtk3-themes-in-fluxbox/) `~/.gtkrc-2.0` or `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini` should be a oneliner!
+
+## Additional thoughts
+You should run these programs with stderr redirected to null (i.e., `2>/dev/null`) if your theme causes Gtk minor indigestion.
