One theme script to rule them all.
- 270+ preloaded themes.
- Works on any terminal with OSC 4/11 support (e.g kitty, osx term)
- Small, self contained and POSIX compliant.
- Interactive theme selection (requires fzf)
- Lets you easily switch themes inside of an open terminal.
- Lets you configure st's colour theme without recompiling it :P
- Lets you keep your shell's init file as the single source of truth.
- Lets you script theme changes
Put theme.sh somewhere in your $PATH
Then:
> theme.sh -l
zenburn
gruvbox
solarized-dark
...
> theme.sh zenburn
or
> theme.sh -i #Interactive theme selection (requires fzf)
Once you find something you like simply put
theme.sh <theme>
in your ~/.bashrc
If $THEME_HISTFILE is set then the path is contains will be used
to store recently selected themes.
To load the most recently selected theme automatically you can put
if command -v theme.sh > /dev/null; then
export THEME_HISTFILE=~/.theme_history
[ -e "$THEME_HISTFILE" ] && theme.sh "$(theme.sh -l|tail -n1)"
# Optional
bind -x '"\x0f":"theme.sh $(theme.sh -l|tail -n2|head -n1)"' #Binds C-o to the previously active theme.
alias th='theme.sh -i'
fi
in your ~/.bashrc.
colorscheme default
set notermguicolors
highlight Search ctermfg=0
The above makes vim play nicely with the stock terminal theme.
Below is a list of terminals on which theme.sh is known to work:
- kitty (not KiTTY)
- gnome-terminal
- terminator
- st with the appropriate patch
- Terminal.app (osx)
- iTerm2
- alacritty
- urxvt (non interactively unless the truecolor patch is applied)
- any libvte based terminal
- Requires a shell that properly implements OSC 4/11.
- Interactive mode also requires TRUECOLOR support (though the theme can still be set without it.)
- May cause an imperceptible flash when you start your terminal.
- Will not help you achieve enlightenment or improve your marriage.
- May cause epilepsy.
- Will not work in screen (tmux uses the same TERM variable)
