  3. Choose your theme from the base16-gallery;
  4. Locate the corresponding file in putty directory and download it;
  5. Edit the file, and change session name in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\ {{SESSION_NAME}} ] to the session you would like to apply the theme;
  6. Run the file and accept it to make changes in Windows Registry.

Issues or Contributions

This repo rebuilds the colorschemes every week, so make sure to pull to keep up to date with the latest changes.

If you're you're looking to build the colorschemes manually to test out a change:

  1. Install base16-builder-go or a compatible tool. (Note that in the case of base16-builder-go the releases' page contains pre-built binaries that can be simply downloaded and executed).
  2. Execute the builder binary from the base16-putty directory. In the case of base16-builder-go no argument is required.
  3. Check if updates took place (new/modified files are placed inside the /putty directory).

Have a look at these guides for more information.
