Base16 colors for PuTTY

Introduction

This project provides .reg files for configuring PuTTY colors according to the base16 system, originally created by Chris Kempson.

This repository is based on @staticland's original work, by adding a template that can be used to rebuild the themes.

Usage

1. Make sure to have the most recent stable version of PuTTY;
2. Make sure that your version is configured to provide 256 colors support;
3. Choose your theme from the base16-gallery;
4. Locate the corresponding file in putty directory and download it;
5. Edit the file, and change session name in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\ {{SESSION_NAME}} ] to the session you would like to apply the theme;
6. Run the file and accept it make changes in Windows Registry...

Rebuild

1. Install base16-builder-go or a compatible tool. (Note that in the case of base16-builder-go the releases' page contains pre-built binaries that can be simply downloaded and executed).
2. Execute the builder binary from the base16-putty directory. In the case of base16-builder-go no argument is required.
3. Check if updates took place (new/modified files are placed inside the putty directory)...
