Two Custom OmniFocus Themes – Clean and Minimal – by NightLion

August 30th, 2010

I hope you enjoy these themes. These were incredibly difficult to create since the Omnifocus theming engine doesn’t update changes properly. The XML has been edited by hand to provide the borders around the actions. With that, I have created two themes:

NightLion Omnifocus Theme

The difference in this theme is the font choice (Helvetica Neue) and the extra highlighting present on overdue events.

OSX Dark Terminal Theme for Mac Snow Leopard with Custom Bash Prompt

January 8th, 2010

A new theme for OSX terminal. Hopefully this will breathe some life back into those of you who need a fresh change. I was motivated to do this after seeing the IR Black theme (for both Textmate and Terminal). The colors used in that theme were somewhat similar to mine, so I decided to create something a little different. Enjoy.

Installation

  • Install SIMBL
  • Install TerminalColors plugin for SIMBL (instructions available on Ciarán Walsh’s blog). If you are using Snow Leopard, please make sure to download the correct 64bit SIMBL plugin (direct link from GitHub here).
  • Download / Extract the Theme zip file.
  • Import the NightLion terminal theme.
  • Important: Update your .bashrc file. This is critical for displaying the correct colors and prompts. I have included a copy of my bashrc file in the terminal theme zip. To udpate your .bashrc file:
    • Open a new terminal window
    • Type “sudo nano .bashrc”
    • Copy the code from the included bashrc file or from the code below and paste it into your .bashrc file.
    • Press Ctrl-X to exit (yes to save).

Sample Screens

.bashrc Code

export TERM="xterm-color"
alias ls="ls -G"
export PS1="\e[1;30m\][\e[\e[1;30m\]\e[1;33m\] \u@\H \[\e[1;32m\]\w\[\e[0m\] \e[1;30m\]]\n[\[ \e[1;31m\]\T\[\e[0m\]\e[1;30m\] ] > \e[37m\]"

PuTTY SSH Custom Dark Color Theme for Windows

September 19th, 2009

Here is the first of many upcoming color themes. I’ve been spending a good chunk of my day in PuTTY lately, and I wanted to develop my own custom color theme based on a dark background. I received a lot of my inspiration for this theme from IGVITA’s 2008 Dark Color Theme for PuTTY .

Installation

Putty colors can only be imported via the registry. To install the colors, download the zip file, open it, and run the .reg file within it. It will import a NightLion color theme to your PuTTY terminal. Enjoy!
