Why completely remove the yml examples and files? 0.13 is still a new branch (the latest release is literally 0.13.0 as of writing this) Pop_OS! for example ships with 0.12.2 in its repos.

For anyone wondering how to get it working with older releases:

# Start with the regular instructions
mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty/themes
git clone https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty-theme ~/.config/alacritty/themes

# Reset the gitrepo to a release that contained the yaml files
cd ~/.config/alacritty/themes/
git reset --hard yaml

Then in your alacritty.yml add:

import:
 - ~/.config/alacritty/themes/themes/{theme}.yaml

Obviously this should go without saying these yaml files are unmaintained so they wont be up-to-date with what's on the page

Alacritty is in the process of migrating the configuration from yaml to toml.

You get a warning on recent versions if you're using the yaml config file format.

alacritty migrate automatically translates the yaml config to toml config and could probably be used to translate the themes here as well.

Maybe both a yaml and toml version could be kept here in the meantime? It feels like it would not be too hard to automatically translate between them using a script

I really like the default color scheme of Alacritty and would like to port it to other software. Which one is the default color scheme in the README?

I've successfully cloned the alacritty-theme repository:

mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty/themes
git clone https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty-theme ~/.config/alacritty/themes

However, when I run

- ~/.config/alacritty/themes/themes/marine_dark.yaml

to import the marine_dark theme to my alacritty.yml, I get the error message:

zsh: permission denied: /Users/davidmickelsen/.config/alacritty/themes/themes/marine_dark.yaml

According to the alacritty-night-owl-colors repo the night owl theme has been moved into alacritty. It seems alacritty's themes have been migrated here, however this particular theme seems to be missing. Is this intentional or was the theme accidentally lost?

Does anyone know what went wrong here? Maybe I'm just not totally understanding what happened to the yaml file?

Your readme is too friendly. Please update the constribution guide. Please indicate that you do`t accept pull requests from authors and not everyone can add their theme to this repository.

Kind regard 🖤

So i tried i think almost all of them and for me 95% have the ls color- folders unreadable.

Basically the one im using gotham is the only one which makes it readable :

for example gruvbox is pretty bad unreadable:

and catpuccin too:

Or is it something on my side ?

I am trying out the 0.13 dev version, and toml config format looks promising. Will this repo also be updated to use the toml format?

And as a side question, is it possible to programmatically convert the yaml files here into toml files?

Feedback:

1. The colors should be chosen in such a way that it should have sufficient contrast when used as background color with black/white text.
2. Colored background should have uniform brightness.

This blog post is a nice read:
https://blog.ce9e.org/posts/2019-06-24-terminal-colors/

A lot of apps use colored background with light text:

gitui

Here's an example from this repo itself.

Purpose of this issue:

To raise awareness of key principles in choosing terminal colors.
To raise awareness that these are two desirable property in terminal colorschemes.

I'm not asking the maintainers of this repo to rewrite all the colorschemes here.

I just want this information to be visible so that some of us may build colorschemes with these properties in the future.

Thanks for the work you're doing for us.

I'm trying to look for a alacritty theme that looks like the elementary os terminal theme.

I can't find any.

I can't seem to find the cause of this issue. I thought i commented out the line causing issues. Seems to have started since the last update to alacritty. and migrating

I've successfully cloned the alacritty-theme repository:

mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty/themes
git clone https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty-theme ~/.config/alacritty/themes

However, I'm not clear on the next step, to choose a theme and install it for Alacritty. Is there a command I need to run? Do I need to edit my alacritty.yml file directly?

Issue

The catppuccin-mocha theme is not being applied to Alacritty. It is at my ~/.config/alacritty/themes/catppuccin-mocha.toml. When I put in the import statement, I get the warning Unused config key: import

My alacritty.toml

# Font configuration
[font.normal]
family = "DejaVuSansM Nerd Font Propo"

# Import additional settings from another file
import = [
	"~/.config/alacritty/themes/catppuccin-mocha.toml"
]

Could be nice to include this as well!

I was trying to apply a theme in Windows, but the theme is not applying. I don't know what the issue is.
