Color Schemes for ConEmu

I port my favorite color schemes to ConEmu. Note that screenshots are taken with the prompt customized with posh-git and the Get-ChildItem with Get-ChildItem-Color. See this blog post for my PowerShell customizations.

My current favorites are material-light and Oceans16 Dark

How to Install

There’s two methods.

Manually add color schemes and modify the ConEmu.xml file:

  1. Open ConEmu.xml. Usually it is at ~\AppData\Roaming, where ~ is your home directory (C:\Users\UserName).
  2. Paste the color scheme at the end of palette settings part. It starts with the following: 
    <key name="Colors" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
	<value name="Count" type="dword" data="00000001"/>
	<key name="Palette1" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
  3. If you do not have any custom color scheme, the xml key is not there. In ConEmu, go to Settings -> Feature -> Colors and generate a custom color theme by click on Save button and specify any name. Then Colors key will be automatically generated in your ConEmu.xml. You can overwrite it when you add new themes.
  4. Update the palette number (key name PaletteX) accordingly. For example, if you have 1 custom color palette already, it should be Pallet2 for the new one: 
    <key name="Palette2" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
  5. Make sure to increase the value for key name Count under key Colors as well. It should equal to the total number of pallets you have: 
    <value name="Count" type="dword" data="00000002"/>
  6. For example, the Colors part of your modified ConEmu.xml should look like this: 
    <key name="Colors" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
	<value name="Count" type="dword" data="00000002"/>
	<key name="Palette1" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
		<value name="Name" type="string" data="EXISTING COLOR"/>
		<value name="ExtendColors" type="hex" data="00"/>
		...
		<value name="ColorTable31" type="dword" data="00e3f6fd"/>
	</key>
	<key name="Palette2" modified="2015-03-19 13:53:09" build="150310">
		<value name="Name" type="string" data="NAME OF THE COLOR YOU ADDED"/>
		<value name="ExtendColors" type="hex" data="01"/>
		...
		<value name="ColorTable31" type="dword" data="00e7fdfd"/>
	</key>
</key>

Use Install-ConEmuTheme.ps1 PowerShell script.

  • Use Install-ConEmuTheme.ps1 PowerShell script. First, the script will always create a backup of your config file as ConEmu.backup.xml prior to doing anything else. It’s got two operation modes:
    1. To add a theme to your config file: 
      .\Install-ConEmuTheme.ps1 -ConfigPath C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\ConEmu.xml -Operation Add -ThemePathOrName ..\oceans16-dark.xml
    2. To remove a theme from your config file: 
      .\Install-ConEmuTheme.ps1 -ConfigPath C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\ConEmu.xml -Operation Remove -ThemePathOrName "Oceans16 Dark"

Template

The following is the template for color schemes with the default colors that you can use. (It is also in Default.xml)
