9. ripgrep: I use the default theme. The ripgrep global configuration file does not support environment variables, exterminating the option to provide a `${THEME}`-based path in the global configuration file.
10. zsh: it's impossible to update `$THEME` across all existing shells (simply a limit of posix). However, all affected _programs_ will read the proper `$THEME`--I'm fine compromising here.

After some _extreme_ amounts of finagling I'm now able to automatically update fzf and ripgrep themes both in the shell (after re-rendering the prompt\*) and in new fzf-lua instances. I consider this a 99% win.

## upd: improve tmux theme updating <span class="date">14/12/2025</span>
The above config does not update the tmux theme in tandem with the system theme. I switched to sourcing a theme file (`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/themes/{midnight,daylight}.conf`) and hooking into tmux's internal system theme (the `client-{light,dark}-theme` hook) as follows:
```tmux
set-hook -g client-light-theme 'source $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/themes/daylight.conf'
set-hook -g client-dark-theme 'source $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/themes/midnight.conf'
```
