Base16 for Tmux

A Tmux theme using Chris Kempson's Base16 Styling Guidelines

Credits:

• This very repo has been forked from: seebi/tmux-colors-solarized
• Syntax highlighting for hackers: chriskempson/base16
• Base16 for Shells: chriskempson/base16-shell

This theme can be used in combination with any base16-shell theme (hopefully).

Installation

These config snippets for the terminal multiplexer tmux should be added to your ~/.tmux.conf configuration file. This means you have to append the content of e.g. tmuxcolors-base16.conf to the end of your own config e.g. by using this oneliner (backup you config first!!):

cat tmuxcolors-base16.conf >> ~/.tmux.conf

In most cases, you have to force tmux to assume the terminal supports 256 colors. For this, start tmux as tmux -2.

This color scheme is tested with tmux >= 1.5. tmux 1.1 is reported as not working.

Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'mshkrebtan/base16-tmux'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. The plugin should now be working.

Modification

If you want, you may create your own modification of the theme, put it in ~/.tmux/plugins/base16-tmux/ and choose it via .tmux.conf option:

set -g @tmuxcolors 'my-base16'
