Base16 for HexChat (and XChat)
See the Base16 repository for more information.
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
