base16-joe

This contains the base16 templates to generate color schemes for Joe's Own Editor.

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.joe/colors
cp colors/*.jcf ~/.joe/colors

Or, you can use a builder such as this one to generate the templates manually.

256-color terminals

base16 does not support generating colors for 256-color terminals. Before committing, I run the output .jcf files through a process in the joe-colors repository to use the closest colors in the xterm 256 palette for each color scheme. The command would be:

% . ../joe-colors/venv/bin/activate # Activate the virtualenv
% python ../joe-colors/create256.py colors/*.jcf

Some schemes do not map well into this palette but to date I've not found a good way to automatically detect when they don't (if you have an idea, let me know). You'll see some debugging output related to this currently.
