Hi all. I think I did something cool and I want to share it with you. Who loves Linux knows, that customizing things sometimes takes too much time. Customizing terminal color schemes is one of these things. I present you the 4bit - Terminal Color Scheme Designer, which allows you to create your own theme and generate .Xresources / .Xdefaults config in just few minutes:). Thanks for voting, digging, tweeting, liking or whatever - I really appreciate it! Enjoy. :)


I'd like to be able to drag the two thumbs on each "Lightness" slider past each other, to invert the usual relationship. (Just splitting them into two sliders each would be fine.) Otherwise, this is really great.


Great work! I just sent this off to my team so we can all enjoy a much friendlier color scheme :)

I wonder if most engineers find the terminal unpleasant to look at, or is it mostly the "artsy" engineers that are bothered by it...


Most editor/terminal color schemes are terrible, full stop. Color splashed everywhere without a thought.

Solarized is one of the few that looks decent, but I don't agree with the deep blue.
