Terminal Themes

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.

Step-by-step installation

  1. Install iTerm2 and Oh My ZSH using the links above

  2. Drop the go-cats.zsh-theme file in to the ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/ directory

  3. Open up your ZSH preferences at ~/.zshrc and change the theme variable to ZSH_THEME="go-cats"

  4. Install Powerline and necessary fonts, one way is using PIP

    pip install --user powerline-status
    
  5. Install all necessary fonts by cloning the git repository

    git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts
    cd fonts
    ./install.sh
    
  6. 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
  7. Refresh ZSH by typing source ~/.zshrc on the command line
