This is a fork of mintty from https://code.google.com/p/mintty/
The configuration file syntax has been extended to support themes (it is still a work-in-progress as there is no installer yet).
Flat UI is from https://github.com/geekjuice/flat-ui-mintty/blob/master/flat-minttyrc Gnome is from https://github.com/rhlee/mintty-gnome-colors/blob/master/.minttyrc Rosipov is from http://www.rosipov.com/blog/mintty-color-scheme-cygwin/ Xoria is from https://gist.github.com/pasela/3422835 Zenburn is from http://www.billzajac.com/wordpress/articles/2010/12/28/windows-is-nicer-with-mintty/
The others are based on my fork of Base16 builder at https://github.com/PhilipDaniels/base16-builder I have tweaked it a bit to include FG/BG and cursor colours. I also used this to create the Solarized Dark and Light themes, though based on Ethan Schooner's Solarized, of course: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
Of course setting the terminal colours is great, but for maximum effect you will want to configure your 'dircolors'. For solarized, I used the one here https://github.com/seebi/dircolors-solarized
term.h appears to contain a lot of important defns relating to colour, such as the main colour indexes and the ATTR_* shifts and masks. term.c term_paint() - IMPORTANT. This is the top-level routine that figures out where colours, attributes etc. change and then calls win_text() to do the output. Not sure how colours in a run are determined though. term_write() termout.c do_sgr() - sets bold etc. do_colour_osc() - prints color from palette? line 1174 and on - palette stuff line 1216 contains a call to win_set_colour() term_write() - I think this calls when you send the escape sequence using echo -ne "\033]11;#123123\007"; wintext.c win_init_fonts() - creates fonts here win_text() - IMPORTANT. Here is where it sets the foreground and background colour. attr is where the colors are held, 2nd to last param. win_set_colour() - ??? win_reset_colours() - ??? winmain.c win_reconfig() - a top level routine that appears to reset colours and fonts
