Color Scheme Implementer for Terminals

Gogh is a collection of color schemes for various terminal emulators, including Gnome Terminal, Pantheon Terminal, Tilix, and XFCE4 Terminal. These schemes are designed to make your terminal more visually appealing and improve your productivity by providing a better contrast and color differentiation. (This fork of Gogh includes a color scheme named “Vaombe”.)

The inspiration for Gogh came from the clean and minimalistic design of Elementary OS, but the project has since grown to include a variety of unique and beautiful options. Not only does Gogh work on Linux systems, but it’s also compatible with iTerm on macOS, providing a consistent and visually appealing experience across platforms.

bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

Or, if you’re a Mac user:

bash -c "$(curl -sLo- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

❓ HELP

🔹 Debian Fixes

Fix 1 (@romzie):

Reset your profiles:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/

Fix 2 (@MalwareJedi):

Reset your profiles:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/

Close your terminal; re-open it.
Go to Edit —-> Preferences —-> Profiles.
Create a new profile called Default.
Close the terminal. re-open it.
Confirm that Default is still listed in your profiles.
If it is, run the Gogh script again.

Fix 3 (@sui74):

Reset your profiles:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/

“Unname” Rename profile called “default”.

sudo apt install uuid-runtime

Run the Gogh script.

🔹 Elementary OS

1 - Uncomment the following line in .bashrc ;you can find this file in your /home/USER/ directory.

    #force_color_prompt=yes

2 - Execute in terminal

source .bashrc

🖼️ Create your Own Theme!

Good news! Now, creating themes are easier than ever.

All you need to do is to create a YAML format file, following the example of the other files in the themes folder.

Some rules to keep in mind:

The file name should match the name of the theme. For example:
- Filename: Solarized Dark.yml
- Inside the .yml file: name: 'Solarized Dark'
Use title case for all words by capitalizing their first letter.
Ensure that the contrast is sufficient for good legibility.

Now, you can send your Pull Request
Thank you for collaborating!

Theme “.yml” template

If you indeed use this, replace the HEX values with your own ones.
