Base16 theme for tmux

Tinted Tmux

Tinted Tmux provides all the Base16 and Base24 theme variants for tmux. Easily swap between over 250 themes.

See Tinted Theming for more information.

Previously base16-tmux, but we've since added Base24 themes and plan to add themes for different color systems in future, the base16- prefix doesn't work anymore so we've moved to the less restrictive name tinted-tmux.

Installation

Manual

Once you've cloned this repo locally somewhere, you can source the theme you want to use from within your .tmux.conf file. Add the following line to your .tmux.conf.

source-file path/to/tinted-tmux/colors/base16-default-dark.conf

Installation with TPM (Tmux Plugin Manager)

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

set -g @plugin 'tinted-theming/tinted-tmux'

Make sure to source your newly updated .tmux.conf. Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. The plugin should now be working.

All the base16 themes are provided so you can pick and choose via .tmux.conf option:

set -g @tinted-color 'base16-default-dark' # (the default)

Usage

To dynamically switch your theme, have a look at Tinty, Tinted Theming's CLI theme manager. The Tinty USAGE.md page has specific information on setting up tinted-tmux.

Configuration

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

These themes work on tmux >=3. They may work in older versions but is untested.

You can optionally enable some styling options. You can do this by adding the relevant environment variable to your shell .*rc file.

Active/inactive pane state

export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_ACTIVE=1

This adds support which changes background color for the focussed pane vs blurred panes.

Statusbar

export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_STATUSBAR=1

This adds a basic statusbar. This is optional because users may already have a statusbar they prefer or prefer something more simple. This statusbar was inspired by tmux-gruvbox.
