termcolor - theming utility

I originally made this for myself, but I wanted to let it out so others could use it.

http://theywillknow.us/termcolor

NAME:
  Terminal Color Creator

AUTHOR:
  Christopher Truett
  theywillknow.us

DESCRIPTION:
  A simple utility to quickly create terminal themes. Uses an interactive color picker to modify the colors. Built in Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Click a color on the right to open the color picker.
  2. Adjust the colros to your liking, and then copy the colors from the text area.
  3. Paste this generated code into your .Xdefaults file!

Hope this is useful to some!

TODO:
- Enable upload / edit of existing theme (skanky)
- Option to share colorscheme (fresh24)

Re: termcolor - theming utility

How about a font option?

How about a font option?

Can you describe the functionality you are looking for?
I may be able to make a drop down list of fonts, but I would have to figure out how to make it actually render them on the screen, and bitmap fonts might not work.

Re: termcolor - theming utility

Very nice - would it be possible to upload an existing scheme?
E.g paste it into the text box? Even if it has to match the output format it would be useful - esp. if you just want to tweak it.

I've actually been thinking about that myself; I'll add it to the TODO list!

Re: termcolor - theming utility

Very nice! Would be cool if you can add a function to share your color scheme.

What are you looking for in this?
I'm currently working on a new revision that uses more PHP for generating the output, so having direction ahead of time would be of great benefit to me.
