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!

Thank you for publishing this theme. I’m afraid I downloaded it and when double clicking on the registry key, only the text and the background are changed. I want to have a colorful putty on my desktop as the one that is shown above. Please let me know you to do it well. Thank you.
It sounds like your ANSI support is not turned on. From the main Putty screen, click on the Window > Colours option. Please make sure the first three options on this page are checked. They are:
- Allow terminal to specify ANSI colours
- Allow terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode
- Bolded text is a different colour.
Hello Night Lion,
I checked the colours option and assured the three options are checked. Logged off the machine then login again, .. still the same
Where else shall I check?
Many thanks!
