A small repo for custom themes that I've created for my terminal.
I use iTerm2 and Oh My ZSH, which each allow for custom themes. I forked the Cobalt2 theme from Wes Bos, then modified it to align roughly with Northwestern University's branding guidelines.
For the Oh My ZSH theme to work, you will also need to install the patched powerline font.
-
Install iTerm2 and Oh My ZSH using the links above
-
Drop the
go-cats.zsh-theme
file in to the~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
directory -
Open up your ZSH preferences at
~/.zshrc
and change the theme variable toZSH_THEME="go-cats"
-
Install Powerline and necessary fonts, one way is using PIP
pip install --user powerline-status
-
Install all necessary fonts by cloning the git repository
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts cd fonts ./install.sh
-
In iTerm2 access the Preferences pane on the Profiles tab
- Under the Colors tab import the
go-cats.itermcolors
file via the Load Presets drop-down - Under the Text tab change the font for both types (Regular and Non-ASCII) to Inconsolata for Powerline (16pt)
- These don't necessarily relate to the theme, but In the Text tab I also like to change the cursor to a blinking vertical bar and in the General tab I turn off the "Confirm Quit" options
- Under the Colors tab import the
-
Refresh ZSH by typing
source ~/.zshrc
on the command line
