One Dark theme for Midnight Commander

One Dark theme for Midnight Commander

Theme variants

The mc OneDark theme comes in two flavors, an 8/16 color option (onedark.ini) and a 16M color option (onedark16M.ini). The 8/16 color version is entirely dependent on having installed the relevant OneDark theme for your terminal too as it uses the color palette fixed by your terminal.

See Konsole color scheme for example.

The 16M color version can be used independently of any terminal color scheme, but requires true color support in the terminal.

Installation

• Copy files from ./skins to ~/.local/share/mc/skins
• Copy files from ./config to ~/.config/mc/ (optional)

or

• Link configs with dotbot:

dotbot -c install.conf.yaml

Activating ways

1. Choose the skin through the mc UI with:

# F9 > Options > Appearance

2. Edit ~/.config/mc/ini and add skin=onedark:

sed -i 's|\(^skin=\).*$|\1onedark|' ~/.config/mc/ini

3. Run mc with specific skin:

mc -S onedark

4. Add export MC_SKIN=onedark to the initialization file of your shell (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

echo "export MC_SKIN=onedark" >> ~/.zshrc

mc-onedark's Issues

Colors are off in mcedit

Hi! It's awesome theme you have here. There's only one catch: colors (and background) in mcedit are off...:

Maybe, this micro-patch will help:

Unable to activate skin

I tried to use this skin using dotfiles approach and got an error from mc complaining that it was not able to activate the skin.

I do suspect that mc is unable to load symlinked files.
