Tinted Tmux provides all the Base16 and Base24 theme variants for tmux. Easily swap between over 250 themes.
See Tinted Theming for more information.
Previously base16-tmux, but we've since added Base24 themes and plan
to add themes for different color systems in future, the base16-
prefix doesn't work anymore so we've moved to the less restrictive name
tinted-tmux.
Once you've cloned this repo locally somewhere, you can source the theme
you want to use from within your .tmux.conf file. Add the following
line to your .tmux.conf.
source-file path/to/tinted-tmux/colors/base16-default-dark.confAdd plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:
set -g @plugin 'tinted-theming/tinted-tmux'Make sure to source your newly updated .tmux.conf. 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 @tinted-color 'base16-default-dark' # (the default)To dynamically switch your theme, have a look at Tinty, Tinted Theming's CLI theme manager. The Tinty USAGE.md page has specific information on setting up tinted-tmux.
In most cases, you have to force tmux to assume the terminal supports
256 colours. For this, start tmux as tmux -2.
These themes work on tmux >=3. They may work in older versions but is untested.
You can optionally enable some styling options. You can do this by
adding the relevant environment variable to your shell .*rc file.
export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_ACTIVE=1This adds support which changes background color for the focussed pane vs blurred panes.
export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_STATUSBAR=1This adds a basic statusbar. This is optional because users may already have a statusbar they prefer or prefer something more simple. This statusbar was inspired by tmux-gruvbox.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for building and contributing instructions.
