base16 color theme for tmux

A tmux base16 theme based on the work of tmux-colors-solarized and base16.

Installation

These config snippets for the terminal multiplexer tmux should be added to your ~/.tmux.conf configuration file. This means you have to append the content of e.g. colors/base16-default-dark.conf to the end of your own config e.g. by using this oneliner (backup you config first!!):

cat colors/base16-default-dark.conf >> ~/.tmux.conf

In most cases, you have to force tmux to assume the terminal supports 256 colours. For this, start tmux as tmux -2.

This color scheme is tested with tmux >= 1.5. tmux 1.1 is reported as not working.

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'mattdavis90/base16-tmux'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. The plugin should now be working.

All the base16 themes are provided so you can pick and choose via .tmux.conf option:

• set -g @colors-base16 'default-dark' (the default)
