Installation Instructions
There are 3 ways to install an iTerm theme:
- Direct way via keyboard shortcut:
- Launch iTerm 2. Get the latest version at iterm2.com - Type CMD+i (⌘+i) - Navigate to Colors tab - Click on Color Presets - Click on Import - Click on the schemes folder - Select the .itermcolors profiles you would like to import - Click on Color Presets and choose a color scheme
- Via iTerm preferences (go to the same configuration location as above):
- Via Bash script
# Import all color schemes
tools/import-scheme.sh schemes/*
# Import all color schemes (verbose mode) tools/import-scheme.sh -v schemes/*
# Import specific color schemes (quotations are needed for schemes with spaces in name) tools/import-scheme.sh 'schemes/SpaceGray Eighties.itermcolors' # by file path tools/import-scheme.sh 'SpaceGray Eighties' # by scheme name tools/import-scheme.sh Molokai 'SpaceGray Eighties' # import multiple
- Restart iTerm 2. (Need to quit iTerm 2 to reload the configuration file.)

Using Docker
If docker is installed, the script generate-all.sh will do most of the steps described in Prerequisites, except for the instructions related to pyenv as this is not required in a docker container dedicated to generating the required files.
With docker, there is no need to install python and its dependencies on your computer.
The remaining manual tasks are to update README.md to include your theme and screenshot, and to update CREDITS.md to credit yourself for your contribution.
Debugging using Docker
In cases where new tools have to be tested, ./generate-all.sh debug will start an interactive terminal session inside the container.
Prerequisites
- For convenient work with generation scripts, it is recommended to install pyenv.
- Run
pyenv installinside project folder to install python version from.python-versionfile. - Run
pip install -r requirements.txtto install the project dependencies.
How to add new theme
Have a great theme? Send it to me via a Pull Request!
Theme naming
Name source files exactly as the theme should be displayed. Use the human-readable name — no slugification, no replacing spaces with underscores.
- iTerm2:
schemes/Your Theme Name.itermcolors - YAML:
yaml/Your Theme Name.yml(see yaml/README.md)
python3 tools/gen.py -s "Your Theme Name".
Have an iTerm theme?
- Get your theme's
.itermcolorsfile.
- Put your theme file into
/schemes/, named as you want it displayed.
mv <your-itermcolors-file> schemes/"Your Theme Name.itermcolors"
Have a theme in another format?
- Convert it to the YAML format specified in yaml/README.md.
tools/kittytoyaml.py and tools/ghosttytoyaml.py.
These tools accept configuration file streamed into stdin, and output a YAML fragment to stdout.
- Put the YAML file in
yaml/asYour Theme Name.yml.
Test your theme
- Generate other formats for your theme using the
gen.pyscript.
python3 tools/gen.py -s "Your Theme Name"
- Optionally check WCAG contrast (
.itermcolorsonly; YAML themes must be generated first).
python3 tools/wcag_check.py -s "Your Theme Name"
- Failing checks are OK — gen.py may adjust colors during generation to meet the minimum contrast threshold (1.75:1).
- Generate a screenshot of your theme using the
screenshot_gentool.
pushd tools && python3 -m screenshot_gen && popd. This will generate new screenshots where they are missing.
- If you have oxipng or zopflipng installed, the screenshot will be optimized for you.
Update CREDITS.md (optional)
- Update
CREDITS.mdto credit yourself for your contribution.
How to add new template
Do you want to convert existing iTerm themes to themes for your favorite terminal/editor/etc?
- Get config file from your terminal/editor/etc.
- Change actual colors in config to template placeholders from the list below.
{{ Background_Color }}
{{ Bold_Color }}
{{ Cursor_Color }}
{{ CursorTextColor }}
{{ Foreground_Color }}
{{ SelectedTextColor }}
{{ Selection_Color }}
{{ Ansi0Color }} // black
{{ Ansi1Color }} // red
{{ Ansi2Color }} // green
{{ Ansi3Color }} // yellow
{{ Ansi4Color }} // blue
{{ Ansi5Color }} // magenta
{{ Ansi6Color }} // cyan
{{ Ansi7Color }} // white
{{ Ansi8Color }} // bright black
{{ Ansi9Color }} // bright red
{{ Ansi10Color }} // bright green
{{ Ansi11Color }} // bright yellow
{{ Ansi12Color }} // bright blue
{{ Ansi13Color }} // bright magenta
{{ Ansi14Color }} // bright cyan
{{ Ansi15Color }} // bright white
Each color has these fields: - {{ Background_Color.hex }} for hex representation - {{ Background_Color.rgb }} for rgb representation as a "(r, g, b)" string - {{ Backgroun_Color.guint16 }} for guint16 representation
Also you have access to this metadata fields: - {{ Guint16_Palette }} with a string containing all ansi colors as guint16 values - {{ Dark_Theme }} which contains a sign that the theme is dark
- If you need a new value type for color, add it too
tools/converter.py - Put your template file into
tool/templates. A folder with schemas will be created based on the filename. And the file extension will remain with all generated ones. Example:editor.extfile will generate schemas aseditor/scheme_name.ext - Generate all existing themes for all templates
cd tools/ && ./gen.py. Or, if you only want to generate schemas for your template, you can use the-tflag.
./gen.py -t kitty
- If in the process you had to add new dependencies or update the version of python, do not forget to indicate this in
requirements.txtor.python-version.

Credits
- The schemes Novel, Espresso, Grass, Homebrew, Ocean, Pro, Man Page, Red Sands, and Terminal Basic are ports of the schemes of the same name included with the Mac Terminal application. All of Terminal's schemes have now been ported, with the exception of Solid Colors (random backgrounds, which iTerm doesn't support) and Aerogel (which is hideous).
- The schemes iTerm2 Default, iTerm2 Dark Background, iTerm2 Light Background, iTerm2 Pastel (Dark Background), iTerm2 Smoooooth, iTerm2 Solarized Dark, iTerm2 Solarized Light, iTerm2 Tango Dark, and iTerm2 Tango Light are ports from the built-in color schemes of iTerm2 (current source is iTerm2 v3.4.19).
- Credits for all other themes are listed in CREDITS.md

X11 Installation
To install under the X Window System:
- Import the .xrdb file of the scheme you'd like to use:
- Use the
#defines provided by the imported .xrdb file:
XTerm*color0: Ansi0Color XTerm*color1: Ansi1Color XTerm*color2: Ansi2Color XTerm*color3: Ansi3Color XTerm*color4: Ansi4Color XTerm*color5: Ansi5Color XTerm*color6: Ansi6Color XTerm*color7: Ansi7Color XTerm*color8: Ansi8Color XTerm*color9: Ansi9Color XTerm*color10: Ansi10Color XTerm*color11: Ansi11Color XTerm*color12: Ansi12Color XTerm*color13: Ansi13Color XTerm*color14: Ansi14Color XTerm*color15: Ansi15Color XTerm*colorBD: Bold_Color XTerm*colorIT: Italic_Color XTerm*colorUL: Underline_Color XTerm*foreground: Foreground_Color XTerm*background: Background_Color XTerm*cursorColor: Cursor_Color
- Store the above snippets in a file and pass it in:
- Open new XTerm or Rxvt windows to see the changes.
- Adapt this procedure to other terminals as needed.
Terminator color schemes
Edit your Terminator configuration file (located in: $HOME/.config/terminator/config) and add the configurations for the theme(s) you'd like to use the [profiles] section. The terminator/ directory contains the config snippets you'll need. Just paste the configurations into the [profiles] sections, and you're good to go!
At a minimum, this is all you need. You can customize the fonts and other aspects as well, if you wish. See the Terminator documentation for more details.
An example config file that includes the code snippet for the Symfonic theme would look like this:
[global_config]
[keybindings]
[profiles]
[[default]]
palette = "#1a1a1a:#f4005f:#98e024:#fa8419:#9d65ff:#f4005f:#58d1eb:#c4c5b5:#625e4c:#f4005f:#98e024:#e0d561:#9d65ff:#f4005f:#58d1eb:#f6f6ef"
background_image = None
usesystemfont = False
cursor_color = "#f6f7ec"
foreground_color = "#c4c5b5"
font = Source Code Pro Light 11
background_color = "#1a1a1a"
[[Symfonic]]
palette = "#000000:#dc322f:#56db3a:#ff8400:#0084d4:#b729d9:#ccccff:#ffffff:#1b1d21:#dc322f:#56db3a:#ff8400:#0084d4:#b729d9:#ccccff:#ffffff"
background_color = "#000000"
cursor_color = "#dc322f"
foreground_color = "#ffffff"
background_image = None
[layouts]
[[default]]
[[[child1]]]
type = Terminal
parent = window0
[[[window0]]]
type = Window
parent = ""
[plugins]Konsole color schemes
Copy the themes from the konsole directory to $HOME/.config/konsole (in some versions of KDE, the theme directory may be located at $HOME/.local/share/konsole), restart Konsole and choose your new theme from the profile preferences window.
If you want to make the themes available to all users, copy the .colorscheme files to /usr/share/konsole.
Terminal color schemes
Just double click on selected theme in terminal directory
PuTTY color schemes
New Session Method
This method creates a new blank session with JUST colors set properly.
Download the appropriate colorscheme.reg file and import the registry changes by right-clicking and choosing Merge. Choose "Yes" when prompted if you're sure. Color scheme will show up as a new PuTTY session with all defaults except entries at Window > Colours > Adjust the precise colours PuTTY displays.
Modify Session Method
This method modifies an existing session and changes JUST the color settings.
Download the appropriate colorscheme.reg file. Open the file with a text editor and change the color scheme portion (Molokai below) to match the session you want to modify:
[HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\Molokai]
- CHANGE TO (EXAMPLE) -
[HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\root@localhost]NOTE: Some special characters will need to be changed to their Percent-encoded representation (IE, Space as %20). To quickly find the right session name view the top-level entries at HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\ with regedit.exe.

Copy the colorschemes folder to ~/.local/share/xfce4/terminal/ and restart Terminal.
FreeBSD vt color schemes
Append your favourite theme from freebsd_vt/ to /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local and reboot.
MobaXterm color schemes
Copy the theme content from mobaxterm/ and paste the content to your MobaXterm.ini in the corresponding place ([Colors]).
LXTerminal color schemes
Copy the theme content from lxterminal/ and paste the content to your lxterminal in the corresponding place ([general]).
Visual Studio Code color schemes
Copy the theme content from vscode/ and paste the content to your UserSettings.json.
Windows Terminal color schemes
Copy the theme content from windowsterminal/ and paste the content to your profiles.json in the corresponding place ("schemes"). Then specify the name of your theme by "colorScheme" in "profiles".
Alacritty color schemes
Copy the theme content from alacritty/ and paste the content to your alacritty config file, at ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml. You can also set your theme by adding the following line at your config's 1st line import = ["~/.config/alacritty/themes/mytheme.toml"].
If you still need a color scheme with .yml, you can get it here.
Ghostty color schemes
Copy the theme content from ghostty/ and paste the content in your Ghostty config file, at ~/.config/ghostty/config.
Rio color schemes
Copy the theme file from rio/ and paste to your rio theme config directory (typically ~/.config/rio/themes/). Then specify the name of your theme in the theme field in the config file.
Termux color schemes
Copy the theme content from termux/ and paste the content to ~/.termux directory as ~/.termux/colors.properties file and run termux-reload-settings to apply the theme.
Vim color schemes
Copy the theme content from vim/ and paste the content to ~/.vim/colors/ directory. In Vim, use :colorscheme <scheme_name> to apply the colorscheme.
Ptyxis color schemes
Copy the theme file(s) you want from ptyxis/ and paste into ~/.local/share/org.gnome.Ptyxis/palettes, then restart Ptyxis. The new theme(s) should now be available in the global palette list in Preferences > Appearance > Palette (may need to select 'Show All Palettes') and Preferences > Profiles > <profile_name> > Color > Palette.
Generic color schemes
These schemes work with any terminal emulator with support for the OSC 4 escape code (including the Linux console, GNOME Terminal, and more).
Copy the shell script from generic/ and paste the script to ~/bin/set-colors.sh, or wherever you prefer to put shell scripts. Then add bash ~/bin/set-colors.sh to your shell's config file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc).
Previewing color schemes
preview_theme.py renders a full visual preview in the terminal using inline truecolor escape codes. It does not modify your terminal palette — safe to run in any truecolor-capable terminal (iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, Cursor, etc.).
# Preview by scheme name
python3 tools/preview_theme.py -s "Your Theme Name"
Preview from source files
python3 tools/preview_theme.py schemes/Molokai.itermcolors

python3 tools/preview_theme.py -s "Molokai" "Dracula"The preview shows the ANSI palette, surface colors (foreground, background, selection, cursor), and semantic samples (errors, git status, directory listing).
Live palette preview (mutates terminal colors)
preview-generic.sh applies OSC 4 palette changes by sourcing shell scripts from generic/. Use this only when you want the current session recolored.
bash generic/Molokai.sh
./tools/preview-generic.sh generic/Molokai.sh generic/Dracula.shpreview.rb is deprecated (broken on current .itermcolors files). Prefer preview_theme.py.
