Xresources to pair with this? #31

Open Barbaross93 opened 3 years ago

Barbaross93 commented 3 years ago

As the title says, do you have an Xresources file to pair with this fantastic theme? I found this, but I assume you would tweak it a bit. If not, I'll just go ahead and use it as-is.

Thanks again!!

The release of version 7 which you can find in the url below did include terminal and Xresources colors. They should work for you but just be advised that the .vim theme is not current. https://github.com/AlessandroYorba/Alduin/releases/tag/v7.0.0

I removed the terminal colors so that I could create a separate repo for it. Just haven't got around to it.

I've been using this colorscheme for quite a while now, and I finally decided to try and make a proper 16 color version of this theme myself. Below is the Xresources:

! special
*.foreground:   #dfdfaf
*.background:   #1c1c1c
*.cursorColor:  #dfdfaf

! black
*.color0:       #262626
*.color8:       #4e4e4e

! red
*.color1:       #af5f5f
*.color9:       #df8787

! green
*.color2:       #87875f
*.color10:      #afaf87

! yellow
*.color3:       #af875f
*.color11:      #dfaf87

! blue
*.color4:       #5f5f5f
*.color12:      #878787

! magenta
*.color5:       #875f5f
*.color13:      #af8787

! cyan
*.color6:       #5f8787
*.color14:      #87afaf

! white
*.color7:       #ffdf87
*.color15:      #ffffaf

#5f5f5f might be a bit too dark for a dark blue and the #afaf87 might be a bit too bright for a bright green, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it! I'd love to hear your feedback/tweaks :)

@Barbaross93 Awesome work!!! I know you put in the effort because when I attempted to make a Xresources or iterm theme sometime back, I got so frustrated that I only ended up using one #hexdex for each color category. I'm stoked that you made it and that you're pleased with the results. Do you want to create and maintain your own Repo that I can link to in the ReadMe file? What works for you?

Hey, I'm glad you like it too! Honestly though, I'm not sure if I'm alright with the bright green (#afaf87) as I've found it to be a bit too close to the default foreground color (#dfdfaf). I'll definitely update/edit that post when I find a color I'm happier with. I'm just finding it a bit tough to do since I really do like #87875f so much...

I am currently trying out #878787 and #afafaf for blue and bright blue respectively, maybe these are better alternatives than what I posted earlier? I have also tried #5f5f87 and #8787af for blues instead and honestly thought they weren't that bad. What are your thoughts?

Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can commit to creating a repo on my own at the moment. I pretty much only use alacritty nowadays and at least I'm somewhat familiar with urxvt. So other terminals would require time/research on my end. If you do end up getting around to making that repo, I'd be happy to send PRs your way :)
