# Tinted Theming: all your themes, everywhere. Color wheel



[![Matrix Chat](https://img.shields.io/matrix/tinted-theming:matrix.org)](https://matrix.to/#/#tinted-theming:matrix.org)



 Style systems and smart build tooling for crafting high fidelity color schemes and easily using them in all your favorite apps.  Originally based on the amazing work of [Chris Kempson](https://github.com/chriskempson/) and his [Base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16) system.



**Features**



- Seamless builder support for _multiple_ style systems ([Base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16), [Base24](https://github.com/tinted-theming/base24/), etc.)

- Over 230 beautiful and ready-to-use color schemes. [View the Gallery](https://tinted-theming.github.io/tinted-gallery).

- Over 70 supported GUI and terminal applications. [See the full list](#supported-applications).

- Allows end users to choose a color scheme and know it will be available _everywhere_.

- Allows color scheme designers to craft a palette of colors once, instantly supporting for many different apps.



## Documentation and Specification



The _builder_ and _styling_ specs detail how to compile _schemes_ and _templates_ into application specific configurations.



### Scheme



A scheme is a fixed palette of named colors and (optionally) instructions for how those colors should be used by apps.



### Style



A style guide provides rules governing how a scheme's palette should be applied within apps.  This means each color is used consistently for similar purposes across all your apps.  Individual styling guides often support different sized pallets and have different ideas about how those colors should be deployed.



See the individual styling guides for more information on each:



- [Base16](/styling.md) - the original, 16 colors with very fixed semantic meanings.

- [Base24](https://github.com/tinted-theming/base24/blob/master/styling.md) - an extra 8  colors for full ANSI support in your terminals.



A scheme is defined using a [YAML](https://yaml.org/) file. The file specification is in the [Builder Guidelines](/builder.md#schemes-repository).



### Builder



A builder is a build tool used by various template repositories to generate files based on scheme file and template file.



- [Builder Guidelines](/builder.md)



### Template



A template describes how a scheme should be transformed to support a specific application.  A template repository defines a template file, then uses a builder to generate application specific files using the template.



Templates often include ready-to-use pre-built versions of every scheme. These are typically installed directly by end users to use the schemes in different applications.



## Manager



A manager serves as a central controller for managing and applying themes in your applications.



## Supported Applications



Supported applications are applications for which a template exists.



### Official Templates



We maintain a number of templates. Each has been sponsored by at least one project member who is committed to maintaining that template.



We are open to accepting new projects, though they must still be sponsored by a project member and have some level of activity. If a project becomes inactive for more than a year, the repo will be archived as inactive. It can be unarchived if another maintainer steps up.

## Official Schemes



To add a Base16 scheme, simply submit a pull request to the [schemes repo](https://github.com/tinted-theming/schemes) and add your scheme.



## Official Builders



Normally end-users should not need to use builders, as they're primarily meant for maintainers - both scheme and template maintainers. These are tools used to build templates with all the currently submitted schemes.



Spec changes will not be released until there is consensus among maintainers and at least one builder with a pull request ready for implementing that spec version.



See the [CHANGELOG](/CHANGELOG.md) for more information about changes in the

spec.



* [Tinted Builder Rust](https://github.com/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust) maintained by [JamyGolden](https://github.com/JamyGolden) - currently supports 0.11.1

* [Base16 Builder Go](https://github.com/tinted-theming/base16-builder-go) maintained by [belak](https://github.com/belak) - currently supports 0.11.0



## Official Managers

### Unofficial Templates



If you have a template you maintain, but don't want to submit it to this org, feel free to add a link to the repository here to add it to this list. These are community maintained templates and may not be updated often.
