nord-tty

A theme for the Linux vconsole. Because why not?

Usage

When in a boring, normal Linux vconsole (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+2), source the file:

source nord-tty

Cool hint: you can put this in your .{bash,zsh}rc

How does it work?

It sets the 16 console colors to those employed by nord with the appropriate ANSI escape sequences. Specifically, these are \e]PXRRGGBB where X is the color index, and RRGGBB is a color expressed in hexadecimal format. These can be printed using echo with the -en flags.

Add to login screen

If you just can't wait until you log in for the nord-ttyness, you can add the commands to the start of /etc/issue to run before the login prompt:

cat nord-tty.issue /etc/issue > /tmp/issue && sudo mv /tmp/issue /etc/issue
