iTerm2-Color-Schemes

Well, after 15 years of saying "Someday I'll turn this into a web app," I finally did it! I've been maintaining a popular repo of terminal themes at https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes, and it was finally time to build the app with all the features I wanted! So, the next-gen version is live at https://terminalthemes.com! It currently has over 800 themes, and provides downloads for close to 40 different formats (iTerm, Ghostty, Windows, and many more) It's free for everyone. An account is not needed to browse and download, but registering for an account (free) allows you to vote, bookmark, submit themes, etc. I focused on a11y features for those who need it, in addition to adding Find My Theme and other tools to make it easy to find something you like! Live terminal and code previews help show a more realistic view of the ter

I made the "Aardvark Blue" a while back[1] to solve some of the problems that most color schemes have. The goal of this theme is that: - colors are fairly natural - background and black are distinct - grays are naturally ordered avoiding full black - light and dark colors are distinct from each other - all colors look good on background, black, dark gray, gray, white We use this for all the screenshots on https://ratatui.rs and https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui It's available from the usual places https://iterm2colorschemes.com/, https://windowsterminalthemes.dev/?theme=Aardvark%20Blue, built in to ghostty, extension for vscode etc. [1]: https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes/pull/417

The terminal theme in that screenshot is the builtin wezterm defaults which are a minor evolution of the "Wez" theme that I uploaded to a random wiki years and years ago, and which found its way into the https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes collection and is now also available as a selectable theme in wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/colorschemes/w/index.html#wez (that's NOT the same as wezterm's defaults, but it is very similar!) The colorscheme used in vim in that screenshot is my personal vim colorscheme which is leaning on the terminal color scheme, with the doc comment color explicitly selecting that orange color, for its added visual terror factor. (Really, I just like my Rust doc comments to be rust colored).

Here's the colormap I use, which I've made sure never has too-bright colors on the near-white background: https://pastebin.com/raw/AdR3sBSs Microsoft publish a tool in the Windows Terminal GitHub repo, ColorTool.exe[1], which can turn iTerm2 color scheme files into Windows Terminal ones. That might be your best bet because there are huge repositories of good iTerm2 schemes[2] and really slick tools to quickly make your own with live previews.[3] [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal/tree/main/src/tools/Co...
