More colors

[rustedwolf]

Hello, Is there a way to use system defined colors like it's available in Terminal?

[lanoxx]

There is currently no way to use background and text color from the system theme. I will consider to add this as an option.

@lanoxx Please do!

Hi, Sebastian! Just to let you know, today I've got a brand new ssd. Which means a new distro installation. Bang! Mint 17.1! One of the first app installs was Tilda. When I've got to configuration, remembered about the login shell. So I've just built a fresh Tilda installation. You've asked me to test if the "use the login shell" feature is working. Well, it works like it should.

So thanks for the great application!

Cheers, Ryszard

Tangentially related, but @lanoxx I'd like to configure Tilda to use a scheme I found on terminal.sexy, what export format matches Tilda's?

@lanoxx I'd love this feature

There is currently no way to automatically import a new color scheme. The default color schemes are hard coded in the source code, so adding a new default color scheme requires to change the tilda sourcec code and recompile it. There is of course still the option to use the custom colors and set your own colors manually through the preferences dialog.

Its possible that I will change that in the future but its currently not a priority.

Until such a time as you're wanting/willing to add an import feature, could you point us to where in the source you're specifying the palettes? I'd love to be able to give you a PR for Monokai.

The code for all supported palettes can be found in: https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda/blob/master/src/tilda-palettes.c

It would be nice to have a more dynamic way to load new palettes from the config folder. I am going to consider this for Tilda 2.0.
