Base16 and Base24 colors for PuTTY

Introduction

This project provides .reg files for configuring PuTTY colors according to the base16 system and base24 system.

This repo was originally named base16-putty, but since we've now got the added Base24 template and theme support, and maybe different ones in future, we renamed to tinted-putty so we don't lock ourselves into a single scheme system.

Usage

  1. Make sure to have the most recent stable version of PuTTY;
  2. Make sure that your version is configured to provide 256 colors support;
  3. Choose your theme from the base16-gallery;
  4. Locate the corresponding file in putty directory and download it;
  5. Edit the file, and change session name in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\ {{SESSION_NAME}} ] to the session you would like to apply the theme;
  6. Run the file and accept it to make changes in Windows Registry.

Issues or Contributions

This repo rebuilds the colorschemes every week, so make sure to pull to keep up to date with the latest changes.

If you're you're looking to build the colorschemes manually to test out a change:

  1. Install builder-rust or a compatible tool.
  2. Execute tinted-builder-rust build path/to/tinted-putty
  3. Check if updates took place (new/modified files are placed inside the /putty directory).

Have a look at these guides for more information.
