I think he means the "Tango" palette from gnome-terminal, for example.

Hmm, I'm not sure that this is useful, anyone realy would like to see this feature in guake? Patches are welcome =)

Yes, I'd love that. Changing default to Tango colors would be a great first step; the way I see it, however, the goal should be complete support for multiple color palettes through preferences...

Tango theme is way more readable. So yes, I'd really like to see it. And I'm reading docs little by little but I'm still far from modifying guake sources.

[lincoln]

Humm, ok but I think it will not be done for the next release.

Looked around in the sources of gnome-terminal and worked out that I needed to add this snipped of code to somewhere (after much thought I still couldn't figure out where would be the best place):

palette = [gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x2e2e, 0x3434, 0x3636),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xcccc, 0x0000, 0x0000),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x4e4e, 0x9a9a, 0x0606),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xc4c4, 0xa0a0, 0x0000),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x3434, 0x6565, 0xa4a4),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x7575, 0x5050, 0x7b7b),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x0606, 0x9820, 0x9a9a),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xd3d3, 0xd7d7, 0xcfcf),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x5555, 0x5757, 0x5353),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xefef, 0x2929, 0x2929),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x8a8a, 0xe2e2, 0x3434),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xfcfc, 0xe9e9, 0x4f4f),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x7272, 0x9f9f, 0xcfcf),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xadad, 0x7f7f, 0xa8a8),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x3434, 0xe2e2, 0xe2e2),
	gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xeeee, 0xeeee, 0xecec)
	]
	""" I tried it in the show() function and
	    used hardcoded bgcolor and fgcolor
	"""
        #for i in self.term_list:
        #    i.set_colors(bgcolor, fgcolor, palette)

So basically, this is just the Tango palette from gnome-terminal. Too new to guake.py & python to make a patch though, sorry.

you can just add the following in GuakeTerminal#configure_terminal?:

palette = [gtk.gdk.Color(0x2e2e, 0x3434, 0x3636, 0),

gtk.gdk.Color(0xcccc, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x4e4e, 0x9a9a, 0x0606, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xc4c4, 0xa0a0, 0x0000, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x3434, 0x6565, 0xa4a4, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x7575, 0x5050, 0x7b7b, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x0606, 0x9820, 0x9a9a, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xd3d3, 0xd7d7, 0xcfcf, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x5555, 0x5757, 0x5353, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xefef, 0x2929, 0x2929, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x8a8a, 0xe2e2, 0x3434, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xfcfc, 0xe9e9, 0x4f4f, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x7272, 0x9f9f, 0xcfcf, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xadad, 0x7f7f, 0xa8a8, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0x3434, 0xe2e2, 0xe2e2, 0), gtk.gdk.Color(0xeeee, 0xeeee, 0xecec, 0)]

self.set_colors(gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xaaaa, 0xaaaa, 0xaaaa), # foreground (gray) - which can not be None (python-vte bug)

gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000), # background (black) - ditto palette) # tango palette

works fine here as long as the opacity is a bit smaller since these colors are less bright than the defaults. since the foreground+background colors are overriden later, do not forget to manually set your foreground color to "aaaaaa" in the guake preferences and you'll get a regular tango theme :p

have fun,

stupid me, it's better with a code block:

        palette = [gtk.gdk.Color(0x2e2e, 0x3434, 0x3636, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xcccc, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x4e4e, 0x9a9a, 0x0606, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xc4c4, 0xa0a0, 0x0000, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x3434, 0x6565, 0xa4a4, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x7575, 0x5050, 0x7b7b, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x0606, 0x9820, 0x9a9a, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xd3d3, 0xd7d7, 0xcfcf, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x5555, 0x5757, 0x5353, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xefef, 0x2929, 0x2929, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x8a8a, 0xe2e2, 0x3434, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xfcfc, 0xe9e9, 0x4f4f, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x7272, 0x9f9f, 0xcfcf, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xadad, 0x7f7f, 0xa8a8, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0x3434, 0xe2e2, 0xe2e2, 0),
                   gtk.gdk.Color(0xeeee, 0xeeee, 0xecec, 0)]

        self.set_colors(gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0xaaaa, 0xaaaa, 0xaaaa), # foreground (gray)  - which can not be None (python-vte bug)
                        gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000), # background (black) - ditto
                        palette)                                  # tango palette

[pingou]

hm let's keep this in mind but I'll postpone it to 0.6.0

[tatofoo]

Let you choose a color palette in the preferences dialog

[tatofoo]

I've attached a file that lets you choose the color palette you want to use (included Tango) in the preferences dialog, hope it helps.

Hi,

+1 for this ticket from my side. Choosing a colour palette is the only thing I am currently missing in Guake. And I am pretty sure there is more of us coders who use vim and simply would love to see Guake using other colours than the default ones!

I am really looking forward to getting this ticket done!

Cheers, Marcin

[lincoln]

there are sooo many people waiting for this... I've finally had some time to look at it!

Thank you very much for your work, I've just pushed your patches to our master branch.
