Note: The conda-forge package may be outdated as it pulls from the original repository. We recommend using Homebrew or cloning directly from this fork.
If you're using the conda package manager:
conda install -c conda-forge kitty-themesA collection of 169+ themes for the kitty terminal emulator, ported from iTerm2-Color-Schemes. You can find the previews for each theme in the section below.
This is a community-maintained fork of kitty-themes, originally created by Fabrizio Destro.
The original repository hasn't been actively maintained since 2019. This fork provides:
- Active maintenance - Bug fixes and new themes
- Homebrew distribution - Easy installation via
brew install - Automated releases - CI/CD pipeline with versioned releases
- Theme validation - All themes are validated for correct format
All original content of this repository is licensed with the MIT License. Whenever possible the author of the theme is cited inside each theme configuration file, together with its license. Hit me up if you find your theme inside this repository and you want a proper citation.
If you have followed the installation instructions and cloned the entire repo, you have two options to try a theme:
-
If you have enabled remote control in kitty you can run this command:
kitty @ set-colors -a "~/.config/kitty/kitty-themes/themes/AdventureTime.conf" -
Otherwise you can start another instance of kitty and specify another config file to read from, this will cause kitty to read both its normal config file and the specified one:
kitty -o include="~/.config/kitty/kitty-themes/themes/AdventureTime.conf"
Try your new theme with one of the scripts in Color-scripts with this
one-liner (requires jq):
COLOR_SCRIPT_REPO=https://api.github.com/repos/stark/Color-Scripts/contents/color-scripts
wget -q -O - $(curl -s $COLOR_SCRIPT_REPO | jq '.[] | "\(.path) \(.download_url)"' -r | shuf -n1 | cut -d " " -f2) | bashThanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
