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.

### upd: fzf, ripgrep, fzf-lua, and shell improvements <span class="date">30/11/2025</span>
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 always update the tmux theme in tandem with the system theme. For example, on system startup, the tmux theme is not set. I could only get around this by manually reloading the configuration _inside_ of tmux.
It is simpler (and more correct) to set the theme as a function of when tmux itself detects changes to the system theme. This is possible by leveraging the exposed hooks `client-{light,dark}-theme` 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'
```
where the configuration files house the individual theme logic.
