How to tweak

If the color settings provided are not quite what you want, feel free to mix-and-match whatever colors you can think of.

• Download the appropriate colorscheme based on how to you wish you install it

• Open the file and find the ANSI Color you wish to overwrite and replace it with the corresponding RGB color (e.g. 255,0,0 for red) or HEX Triplet (e.g. #FF0000 for red) for flat-minttyrc and flat-mintty respectively.

• Install using the instructions above, but point the source file to your custom file

Troubleshoot

Q: The colors don't seem to be applied or rendered correctly even after restarting mintty...

A: There's a good change your terminal isn't set to the proper color setting. In mintty, go to Options > Terminal > Type and select xterm-256color. It's also a good idea to set it within the terminal by adding the following line to your .bashrc, .profile, etc.

    export TERM=xterm-256color

Q: I applied the colors using flat-mintty, but decided to go back to the default colors.

A: I haven't tested this, but in case deleting the script and restarting mintty doesn't revert the terminal back to the default colorscheme, you can download the default-mintty script provided and source it to revert back to normal.
