[SOLVED] Import Arch-Installer Color Scheme

Basic Help & Support
#1

Hello ArchLabs users,

I really like the color scheme of the installer, however, I personally find the standart theme that comes with termite after the archlabs installation more than horrendous. Is there a way to reimport that theme and set it to default for my terminals (alacritty and termite)? I couldn’t find the theme in the repos.

I think I found it:

https://bitbucket.org/archlabslinux/iso/src/c8141d6d73e8768c8acb4a617ed2ad30af881602/archlabs/airootfs/etc/skel/.zsh/settings/terminal.zsh?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default

although the config file for the terminal needs some special tweaking.

Glad that you found it mate.

Please mark as solved.

Yea that’s it, they’re for the Linux console and use the format \e]P<0-15 in hex>XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a hex color code eg. \e]P0000000 to set color 0 to black #000000 when printed as a byte sequence using printf "%b" "CODE" or echo -e "CODE", the comments to the right of each should be the hex code that can be used elsewhere.

You can also pull colours from ~/.Xresources but I don’t think they’re the same as the console colors.

I don’t think that is right, the one I found had background or black as 0x191919
