how to get appVM colour for customizing bash prompt's colours

[Robert]

Hi!

I wonder if there is a command-line way to get the name (or any other id) of appVM's colour, used for window borders and such, from within the same appVM (not dom0)?
It could be useful for customizing bash prompt's colours.

I guess, I'd not be surprised if the answer was no due to security reasons.

Best regards,
Robert

I'm not sure if there is an official way, but I have written an RPC do
to this. https://github.com/kulinacs/qubes-rpc-GetLabel
I have the command run in /rw/config/rc.local and have it set to auto
allow.
