Base16 for HexChat (and XChat)

See the Base16 repository for more information, and was built with base16-builder-python.

This template maps Base16 colors in a way to preserve the original intent of mIRC and HexChat colors, whose color palettes contain colors not identically representable with Base16.

Usage

Manual

Copy your chosen theme from the colors directory, and replace the colors.conf in your HexChat configuration directory:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
• Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\39215TingPing.HexChat_fqe8h3fzrj50c\LocalCache\Roaming\HexChat
• Unix: ~/.config/hexchat
• Flatpak: ~/.var/app/io.github.Hexchat/config/hexchat
• Snap: ~/snap/hexchat/current/.config/hexchat

Script (unix systems only)

Switch themes using the theme switcher script. It accepts a single argument which is the kebab-case name of the theme. For example:

./bin/base16-hexchat-theme gruvbox-dark-medium

Run from anywhere

Add the following to your shell *rc file and make sure the path to where you cloned base16-hexchat is correct:

export PATH=/your/path/to/base16-hexchat/bin:$PATH

Open a new terminal window or source your shell file and now you can switch the theme easily from anywhere.

base16-hex-theme gruvbox-dark-medium
