Tinted Xresources

Tinted themes for Xresources. Have a look at the gallery page for examples of what the theme colors look like.

Formerly base16-xresources, however since the repository now supports the [base16] and [base24] scheme systems, the repo has been renamed.

Installation

Manual

Add the colors to your .Xresources dotfile

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinted-theming/tinted-xresources/main/xresources/base16-default-dark.Xresources >> ~/.Xresources
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources

Tinty

If you use [Tinty] to set your themes, complete the following steps to update your theme when running tinty apply base16-default-dark (where base16-default-dark is a placeholder scheme name):

1. Create a theme file for Xresources to include at ~/theme

2. Add the following include directive to your ~/.Xresources dotfile: #include "Xresources.d/theme"

3. Add the following toml settings to your Tinty ~/.config/tinted-theming/tinty/config.toml file:

   [[items]]
   path = "https://github.com/tinted-theming/tinted-xresources"
   name = "tinted-xresources"
   themes-dir = "xresources"
   hook = "cp -f %f ~/theme && xrdb -load ~/.Xresources"
   supported-systems = ["base16", "base24"]
   

Loading 256 colors in Urxvt

As noted in the template files, if you are using urxvt, colors beyond 15 might not be loaded by default. To fix this, you can use the urxvt-xresources-256 extension available at: https://github.com/Roliga/urxvt-xresources-256
