Custom Apps

Setup

The x. section exists to support custom integrations that aren't yet natively supported. Anything that can be achieved with a shell script can be done here, including calling other full binaries.

A few ideas:

Use ssh user@host.example.com thcon dark to switch themes on a remote machine
Change your desktop background
Turn off your lights with a smart home API call via curl
Move a custom userchrome.css into place to reskin Firefox
