Mac Terminal vs iterm2 #13

Closed jrock2004 closed 8 years ago

jrock2004 commented 8 years ago

So I notice that default mac terminal looks way blue that what iterm does. Not sure why iterm is adding that grey or maybe it should. Any ideas?

Thanks for the feedback! The reason that the colorscheme is messed up in terminal.app is because Terminal.app doesn't support setting the terminal colors from the shell scripts in base16-shell. We can correct this, however, by generating a colorscheme using base16-builder. To do this, clone the repository and then run the following command

./base16 -s schemes/chalk.yml

This threw an error when I tried it the first time because of the dmenu template, so I removed that directory (templates/dmenu) temporarily and then tried again and it worked. The file you're looking for from this output is in output/terminal-app/base16-chalk.dark.terminal. Double-clicking on this file will load the necessary color s for Terminal.app.

Next, you'll want to remove the following line from the vimrc and then you should be good to go.

let base16colorspace=256  " Access colors present in 256 colorspace"

Here is a link to a generated base16-chalk.dark.terminal file I was able to generate. Using the instructions above, you can also generate color schemes for other base16 themes, or just switch to a different colorscheme in vim. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
