history

Project history and usage

dipc is a Rust command-line image palette converter for recoloring images and wallpapers with named color palettes and themes. Its README describes a deliberately focused Unix-style tool that does one image-conversion job and supports stdin/stdout pipelines.

Project history

The public repository was created in April 2023. Early releases built out the CLI, theme support, batch image processing, CIELAB DeltaE method selection, and later an interactive TUI for choosing files, palettes, variations, and output names.

Adoption history

dipc's official README documents Cargo, Homebrew, Nix, source, and community AUR installation paths. That spread is typical of small Rust CLIs: Cargo provides the language-native channel, while Homebrew and Nix make it easier to include in desktop image and wallpaper workflows.

How it is used

Users pass a built-in palette name, a JSON theme path, or inline JSON plus one or more image files. The README shows directory conversion, multiple input images, output renaming, style selection, DeltaE method selection, TUI mode, and pipelines such as screenshot capture into dipc and then into another image tool.

Why package nerds care

dipc is a compact example of theme-culture packaging: color schemes such as Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Rose Pine, Solarized, and Tokyo Night become a command-line image-processing interface. It is interesting less as a huge ecosystem package and more as a modern desktop-customization CLI with multiple package-manager entry points.

Timeline

2023: Public GitHub repository created.
2023: v1.0.0 release adds a rewritten CLI, user-provided themes, batch processing, and DeltaE options.
2025: v1.1.0 release adds stdin/stdout support and Nix flake improvements.
2025: v1.2.0 release adds an interactive TUI.

Related projects

dipc's practical neighborhood is the color-theme ecosystem and image-processing pipelines rather than one direct upstream project. Its README names built-in palettes including Catppuccin, Dracula, Everforest, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Nord, Rose Pine, Solarized, and Tokyo Night.
