Base16 scintillua (SciTE) template / theme(s) (automatically) built using Tinted Theming color schemes.
See https://github.com/tinted-theming/base16-scintillua/tree/main/docs/images for some sample SciTE + scintillua screen shots.
See https://tinted-theming.github.io/tinted-gallery/ for gallery of all color schemes. This page shows all supported color themes, using a bash script https://github.com/tinted-theming/tinted-gallery/blob/main/build.sh as the demo syntax highlighted file (as seen in vim).
Assuming an already configured and working scite + scintillua setup:
-
Copy the theme(s) you are interested in from
themes/base16into the scintilluathemesdirectory. -
Edit
scintillua.properties(in the parent directory of thethemesdirectory) -
Locate the themes section, search for
import scintillua/themes -
Add (or edit) to add an import line for the theme of interest, for example:
#import scintillua/themes/scite import scintillua/themes/base16-tokyo-night-moon
- Review
caret.line.back.alpha=63for the theme chosen. If there are no color collisions (i.e. duplicates baseXX hex values), caret.line.back.alpha can and should be commented out or set toff(to disable alpha blending), which will use the EXACT color. See dracula/draculatheme.com#303 for an example conflict where duplicated colors are unusable. This can be set in scintillua properties or user properties. - Review
style.*.34, Brace highlight color for the theme chosen for personal preferences.
For more information about scintillua config, see scintillua documentation at https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua For information about SciTE config see https://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html
This repo auto builds with new color schemes as they are added to https://github.com/tinted-theming/schemes or when this repo is updated.
You can also build locally using any (base16) builder you like. https://github.com/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust/releases provides pre-built binaries for most platforms and can build both base16 and base24 some notes and tips are below.
# checkout colors and this theme template
git clone https://github.com/tinted-theming/schemes.git
git clone https://github.com/tinted-theming/base16-scintillua.git
# build (assuming tinted-builder-rust is in path)
tinted-builder-rust build --schemes-dir schemes\base16 base16-scintillua
