Scripts for setting base-16, solarized and zenburn color schemes in gnome-terminal.
Please, note that github repository is only a mirror, the main efforts in this code are submitted to gitlab.
To be able to uninstall, we highly recommend that you create a new Gnome Terminal profile, using the menus in Gnome Terminal.
You need the dconf command (if you run a recent Gnome version). With Ubuntu,
this can be installed by running
$ sudo apt-get install dconf-cli
Then clone the repository and you can run the installation script:
$ git clone https://github.com/gnumoksha/gnome-terminal-colors.git
$ cd gnome-terminal-colors
$ ./install.sh
And just follow the instructions.
To run this script remotely or via cron (or from any shell where
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set), you need to start a dbus connection:
$ dbus-launch ./install.sh
Change to another profile in Gnome Terminal, then remove the Solarized profile by running:
$ rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Solarized/
$ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal
Be sure to have the dconf-cli package installed and do:
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/PROFILE_ID"
Replace PROFILE_ID by your profile ID (you can get it in your profile configuration in gnome-terminal).
Each theme has is own folder in the colors dir. It contains the following
files:
- bd_color: bold color
- bg_color: background color
- fg_color: foreground color
- palette: list of colors for all standard color codes.
No additional configuration is needed to add a theme, the installation script
just list at launch the children folders in the colors dir.
The installation script will ask if a solarized dircolors is wanted. It will be
downloaded and installed as ~/.dir_colors/dircolors. On CentOS, it can be an
issue (see issue #62), as the default setup use ~/.dir_colors as dircolors.
In that case, you should manually move ~/.dir_colors as
~/.dir_colors/dircolors before starting the installation script.
If the dircolors is not applied, please check that your shell actually source your dircolors:
if [ -f ~/.dir_colors/dircolors ]
then eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors/dircolors`
fi
This should not be necessary on major distributions (such as Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) but could be on ArchLinux, Gentoo and others.
Use the 16 colors terminal option to get VIM to look like GVIM with solarized colors.
