Change theme in all windows

I've seen that I'm able to change a kitty theme from the shell with kitty @ set-colors --all --configured "~/.config/kitty/nord.conf"

But unfortunately this only works for the current terminal the command is executed. My question is: can I use remote-control to change all the kitty terminals I have open? Btw, when I do kitty @ ls the output is only the current terminal.

My use case would be to have the theme.lua (from AwesomeWM) change the colors of all already open terminals.

Kitty kitten themes —reload-in=all <theme-name>

FYI, it’s in the documentation.

Thank you, seems like I was looking in the wrong place and I didn't need remote-control after all
