base16-shell VS theme.sh

I just found Nightfox and switched over to it. I liked it so much I contributed a base16 template and use it with base16-shell.

My suggestion is to use is from here because you can change the theme on the fly: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

Okay, so I've found the files that change the colors for the terminals ($HOME/.config/openbox/scripts/[name of style]) and I can add some bash to include LXTerminal, but I don't think I will. Instead of converting all the color codes into RBG, I am going to find Base16 equivalents for each theme and add that to the style scripts. Base16 has a lot of choices, works via the shell (so on all terms), and also allows for instant changes.

from base16-tomorrow-night first column is the original value, third column is the tomorrow theme value

I'm a huge fan of the base16 color schemes - not for their appearance (though most look great), but for their ease of integration within the shell and vim. Just clone the repos below, drop a few lines in your shellrc/vimrc, then use a single bash command to change the scheme in both. No mucking more mucking with Xresources.

base16 🥇 - Adds script to allow you to change your shell's default ANSI colors but most importantly, colors 17 to 21 of your shell's 256 colorspace (if supported by your terminal). This script makes it possible to honor the original bright colors of your shell (e.g. bright green is still green and so on) while providing additional base16 colors to applications such as Vim.

See also base16-shell.

I personally use the base16 shell (with the vim plugin that comes with it) https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

I want to have a consistent theme between my terminal and vim so I use Base16 Shell and Base16 Vim. But whenever I open vim without typing it in the command line, ie through dolphin or ranger or vifm the theme gets lost and turns into the blue mess.

I'll be honest, I've been using both base16 styling for my shell, but also Vim themes. The mixture seems less than ideal.

Or more colors, like theme.sh https://github.com/lemnos/theme.sh

If you want to customize the terminal with different themes, then use this https://github.com/lemnos/theme.sh. Else just install the terminal suggestions the others gave

Ideally, a new window would open with "Theme A". If the window is split, it will open with "Theme B". If another window is added, "Theme C" and so on. I don't care if this is done by the kitty theme picker or some outside tool like theme.sh.

Oh and i really appreciate theme.sh which sets terminal color schemes. It interacts with other tools to do it in various fancy ways like matching your wallpaper or other tricks like that.
