# Tinted Tmux
[](https://matrix.to/#/#tinted-theming:matrix.org)
Tinted Tmux provides all the [Base16] and [Base24] theme variants for tmux.
Easily swap between over 250 themes.
See [Tinted Theming] for more information.
Previously [base16-tmux], but we've since added Base24 themes and plan
to add themes for different color systems in future, the `base16-`
prefix doesn't work anymore so we've moved to the less restrictive name
`tinted-tmux`.
## Installation
### Manual
Once you've cloned this repo locally somewhere, you can source the theme
you want to use from within your `.tmux.conf` file. Add the following
line to your `.tmux.conf`.
```tmux
source-file path/to/tinted-tmux/colors/base16-default-dark.conf
```
### Installation with TPM (Tmux Plugin Manager)
Add plugin to the list of [TPM] plugins in `.tmux.conf`:
```tmux
set -g @plugin 'tinted-theming/tinted-tmux'
```
Make sure to source your newly updated `.tmux.conf`. Hit `prefix + I` to
fetch the plugin and source it. The plugin should now be working.
All the base16 themes are provided so you can pick and choose via
`.tmux.conf` option:
```tmux
set -g @tinted-color 'base16-default-dark' # (the default)
```
## Usage
To dynamically switch your theme, have a look at [Tinty], Tinted
Theming's CLI theme manager. The [Tinty USAGE.md] page has specific
information on setting up tinted-tmux.
## Configuration
In most cases, you have to force tmux to assume the terminal supports
256 colours. For this, start tmux as `tmux -2`.
These themes work on tmux >=3. They may work in older versions but is
untested.
You can optionally enable some styling options. You can do this by
adding the relevant environment variable to your shell `.*rc` file.
### Active/inactive pane state
```shell
export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_ACTIVE=1
```
This adds support which changes background color for the focussed pane
vs blurred panes.
### Statusbar
```shell
export TINTED_TMUX_OPTION_STATUSBAR=1
```
This adds a basic statusbar. This is optional because users may already
have a statusbar they prefer or prefer something more simple. This
statusbar was inspired by [tmux-gruvbox].
