Prerequisites

  1. For convenient work with generation scripts, it is recommended to install pyenv.
  2. Run pyenv install inside project folder to install python version from .python-version file.
  3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the project dependencies.

How to add new theme

Have a great iTerm theme? Send it to me via a Pull Request!

  1. Get your theme's.itermcolors file.
    • Launch iTerm 2
    • Type CMD+i (⌘+i)
    • Navigate to Colors tab
    • Click on Color Presets
    • Click on Export
    • Save the .itermcolors file
  2. Put your theme file into /schemes/
    • mv <your-itermcolors-file> schemes/
  3. Generate other formats for your theme using the gen.py script.
    • cd tools/ && python3 gen.py OR
    • cd tools/ && ./gen.py
  4. If you only want to generate files for your theme, you can specify this with the -s flag.
    • ./gen.py -s Dracula
  5. Get a screenshot of your theme using the screenshotTable.sh script and ImageMagick. For screenshot consistency, please have your font set to 13pt Monaco and no transparency on the window.
    • cd tools/ && ./screenshotTable.sh - this will create a color table for your theme that you can screenshot.
    • Use ImageMagick (or some other tool) to resize your image for consistency - mogrify -resize 600x300\! <path-to-your-screenshot>
    • Move your screenshot into screenshots/ - mv <your-screenshot> screenshots/
  6. Update README.md and screenshots/README.md to include your theme and screenshot. Also update CREDITS.md to credit yourself for your contribution.

How to add new template

Do you want to convert existing iTerm themes to themes for your favorite terminal/editor/etc?

  1. Get config file from your terminal/editor/etc.
  2. Change actual colors in config to template placeholders from the list below.
  {{ Background_Color }}
  {{ Bold_Color }}
  {{ Cursor_Color }}
  {{ Cursor_Text_Color }}
  {{ Foreground_Color }}
  {{ Selected_Text_Color }}
  {{ Selection_Color }}
  {{ Ansi_0_Color }} // black
  {{ Ansi_1_Color }} // red
  {{ Ansi_2_Color }} // green
  {{ Ansi_3_Color }} // yellow
  {{ Ansi_4_Color }} // blue
  {{ Ansi_5_Color }} // magenta
  {{ Ansi_6_Color }} // cyan
  {{ Ansi_7_Color }} // white
  {{ Ansi_8_Color }} // bright black
  {{ Ansi_9_Color }} // bright red
  {{ Ansi_10_Color }} // bright green
  {{ Ansi_11_Color }} // bright yellow
  {{ Ansi_12_Color }} // bright blue
  {{ Ansi_13_Color }} // bright magenta
  {{ Ansi_14_Color }} // bright cyan
  {{ Ansi_15_Color }} // bright white

  Eeach color has these fields:
    - {{ Background_Color.hex }} for hex representation
    - {{ Background_Color.rgb }} for rgb representation as a "(r, g, b)" string
    - {{ Backgroun_Color.guint16 }} for guint16 representation

  Also you have access to this metadata fields:
    - {{ Guint16_Palette }} with a string containing all ansi colors as guint16 values
    - {{ Dark_Theme }} which contains a sign that the theme is dark
  1. If you need a new value type for color, add it too tools/converter.py
  2. Put your template file into tool/templates. A folder with schemas will be created based on the filename. And the file extension will remain with all generated ones. Example: editor.ext file will generate schemas as editor/scheme_name.ext
  3. Generate all existing themes for all templates cd tools/ && ./gen.py. Or, if you only want to generate schemas for your template, you can use the -t flag.
  • ./gen.py -t kitty
  1. If in the process you had to add new dependencies or update the version of python, do not forget to indicate this in requirements.txt or .python-version.

Solarized Dark - Patched

Some applications assume the ANSI color code 8 is a gray color. Solarized treats this code as equal to the background. This theme is for people who prefer the former. See issues #59, #62, and #63 for more information.

Terminator color schemes

Edit your Terminator configuration file (located in: $HOME/.config/terminator/config) and add the configurations for the theme(s) you'd like to use the [profiles] section. The terminator/ directory contains the config snippets you'll need. Just paste the configurations into the [profiles] sections, and you're good to go!

At a minimum, this is all you need. You can customize the fonts and other aspects as well, if you wish. See the Terminator documentation for more details.

An example config file that includes the code snippet for the Symfonic theme would look like this:

[global_config]
    [keybindings]
    [profiles]
      [[default]]
        palette = "#1a1a1a:#f4005f:#98e024:#fa8419:#9d65ff:#f4005f:#58d1eb:#c4c5b5:#625e4c:#f4005f:#98e024:#e0d561:#9d65ff:#f4005f:#58d1eb:#f6f6ef"
        background_image = None
        use_system_font = False
        cursor_color = "#f6f7ec"
        foreground_color = "#c4c5b5"
        font = Source Code Pro Light 11
        background_color = "#1a1a1a"
      [[Symfonic]]
        palette = "#000000:#dc322f:#56db3a:#ff8400:#0084d4:#b729d9:#ccccff:#ffffff:#1b1d21:#dc322f:#56db3a:#ff8400:#0084d4:#b729d9:#ccccff:#ffffff"
        background_color = "#000000"
        cursor_color = "#dc322f"
        foreground_color = "#ffffff"
        background_image = None
    [layouts]
      [[default]]
        [[[child1]]]
          type = Terminal
          parent = window0
        [[[window0]]]
          type = Window
          parent = ""
    [plugins]

Konsole color schemes

Copy the themes from the konsole directory to $HOME/.config/konsole (in some versions of KDE, the theme directory may be located at $HOME/.local/share/konsole), restart Konsole and choose your new theme from the profile preferences window.

If you want to make the themes available to all users, copy the .colorscheme files to /usr/share/konsole.

Terminal color schemes

Just double click on selected theme in terminal directory

PuTTY color schemes

New Session Method

This method creates a new blank session with JUST colors set properly.

Download the appropriate colorscheme.reg file and import the registry changes by right-clicking and choosing Merge. Choose "Yes" when prompted if you're sure. Color scheme will show up as a new PuTTY session with all defaults except entries at Window > Colours > Adjust the precise colours PuTTY displays.

Modify Session Method

This method modifies an existing session and changes JUST the color settings.

Download the appropriate colorscheme.reg file. Open the file with a text editor and change the color scheme portion (Molokai below) to match the session you want to modify:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\Molokai]
- CHANGE TO (EXAMPLE) -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\root@localhost]

NOTE: Some special characters will need to be changed to their Percent-encoded representation (IE, Space as %20). To quickly find the right session name view the top-level entries at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\ with regedit.exe.

Other PuTTY Recommendations

Window > Apprearance

Xfce Terminal color schemes

Copy the colorschemes folder to ~/.local/share/xfce4/terminal/ and restart Terminal.

FreeBSD vt color schemes

Append your favourite theme from freebsd_vt/ to /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local and reboot.

MobaXterm color schemes

Copy the theme content from mobaxterm/ and paste the content to your MobaXterm.ini in the corresponding place ([Colors]).

LXTerminal color schemes

Copy the theme content from lxterminal/ and paste the content to your lxterminal in the corresponding place ([general]).

Visual Studio Code color schemes

Copy the theme content from vscode/ and paste the content to your UserSettings.json.

Windows Terminal color schemes

Copy the theme content from windowsterminal/ and paste the content to your profiles.json in the corresponding place ("schemes"). Then specify the name of your theme by "colorScheme" in "profiles".

Alacritty color schemes

Copy the theme content from alacritty/ and paste the content to your alacritty config file.

Rio color schemes

Copy the theme file from rio/ and paste to your rio theme config directory (typically ~/.config/rio/themes/). Then specify the name of your theme in the theme field in the config file.

Termux color schemes

Copy the theme content from termux/ and paste the content to ~/.termux directory as ~/.termux/colors.properties file and run termux-reload-settings to apply the theme.

Previewing color schemes

preview.rb is a simple script that allows you to preview the color schemes without having to import them. It parses .itermcolors files and applies the colors to the current session using iTerm's proprietary escape codes. As noted in the linked page, it doesn't run on tmux or screen.

# Apply AdventureTime scheme to the current session
tools/preview.rb schemes/AdventureTime.itermcolors

# Apply the schemes in turn.
# - Press (almost) any key to advance; hit CTRL-C or ESC to stop
# - Press the delete key to go back
