[urxvt - tmux]enable 256 colors

almandin · 2014-12-18 07:48:21

Hello,

I'm trying to use solarized color theme with urxvt and tmux, and I don't even succeed in activating 256 colors in urxvt.
Can someone help me ?
The problem is that 'tput colors' always says "8" (colors), whatever I try ;(
How am I supposed to configure my .Xdefaults, .Xresources and .tmux.conf to make this work ?

thanks a lot

Stop forcing a TERM variable by exporting it from your shell initialisation file...

Ok my terminal now use 256 colors (urxvt, tmux still use only 8 but anyway ...)
I try to use solarized theme, and I don't understand the difference beetwen .Xresources and .Xdefaults
I've found this .Xresources :

! To only apply colors to your terminal, for example, prefix
! the color assignment statement with its name. Example:
!
! URxvt*background:            S_base03

*background:              S_base03
*foreground:              S_base0
*fading:                  40
*fadeColor:               S_base03
*cursorColor:             S_base1
*pointerColorBackground:  S_base01
*pointerColorForeground:  S_base1

*color0:                  S_base02
*color1:                  S_red
*color2:                  S_green
*color3:                  S_yellow
*color4:                  S_blue
*color5:                  S_magenta
*color6:                  S_cyan
*color7:                  S_base2
*color8:                  S_base03
*color9:                  S_orange
*color10:                 S_base01
*color11:                 S_base00
*color12:                 S_base0
*color13:                 S_violet
*color14:                 S_base1
*color15:                 S_base3

but if I put this on my .Xresources, my terminal stay black and white.
I probably miss something, can you help me to find what ?

Edit : And if I put the code in my .Xdefaults, the terminal is totally pink !

If you searched the wiki for either "Xdefaults" or "Xresources" you would be sent directly to the page that has the answer you need. I'll leave it to you to determine what article your should look for in the wiki to know how to configure tmux.

Please don't become a help vampire. Try searching for yourself first.
