Topic: [Resolved] Terminator config

So I found a great color scheme for urxvt, but I have no idea how to edit the terminator config to match.  The .Xdefaults colors look like this:

*background: #222222
*foreground: #707678
*cursorColor: #707678
/*Black*/
*color0: #2c2d2e
/*Red3*/
*color1: #ae4747
/*Green3*/
*color2: #696c59
/*Yellow3*/
*color3: #c7c93d
/*Blue*/
*color4: #6f99b4
/*Magenta3*/
*color5: #aa8cbf
/*Cyan3*/
*color6: #68b4b1
/*Gray90*/
*color7: #707678
/*Gray30*/
*color8: #a3a5a6
/*Red*/
*color9: #ee6363
/*Green*/
*color10: #90a57d
/*Yellow*/
*color11: #d0c54d
/*Light Blue*/
*color12: #7c96b0
/*Magenta*/
*color13: #8f4c70
/*Cyan*/
*color14: #2d8285
/*White*/
*color15: #e2e2e2

It's pretty self explanitory, but not so much with terminator.  So my question is, does anyone know what the order of colors is in terminators config (white, black, light blue, etc) and how do I convert the 8-bit code to 16-bit?

Re: [Resolved] Terminator config

Well, the file to edit is located here: ~/.config/terminator/config
As for what to edit, I don't know how, but here's a good place to start: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/int … fig.5.html

Re: [Resolved] Terminator config

Ah well I know all that (thanks though!), main problem is going from #6f99b4 to 16-bit and so on.  That and I don't know which color is which in terminators config as it lists them like so:

palette=#000000000000:#aaaa00000000:#0000aaaa0000:#aaaa55550000:#00000000aaaa:#aaaa0000aaaa:#0000aaaaaaaa:#aaaaaaaaaaaa:#555555555555:#ffff55555555:#5555ffff5555:#ffffffff5555:#55555555ffff:#ffff5555ffff:#5555ffffffff:#ffffffffffff

Re: [Resolved] Terminator config

they aren't 8-bit for sure, they're 16-bit. Wether that's RGB without alphachannel I have no idea.  They're 12 characters long and RGB would only be 9. hmm

Re: [Resolved] Terminator config

i would try to change the values to 3x2 pair instead of 3x4 pairs..like this -->  #ffff0000bbbb  -->  #ff00bb
..and see how terminator likes that.. but ill google it some more now..

Re: [Resolved] Terminator config

Alright, I gots it.  I installed the colour picker extension for firefox and went through seeing what the colors were in the terminator config (keeping in mind that each one is every number of a hex code doubled, as you said) then comparing 'em with my .Xdefaults file.  Turns out they're in the exact same order, so it turned out easier than I thought. tongue
