IR_Black for OS X Lion

July 21, 2011
Unix, Command Line, OS X, Vim

A while back, when Lion was in beta, @fyrabanks provided me with an updated IR_Black theme for Lion's Terminal (original IR_Black article). Because Terminal now lets you change the colors, SIMBL is no longer required.

Install Theme

  • Download the theme file here.
  • Double click the IR_Black.terminal file, you downloaded, to install it.
  • Set it to be the default (if you want to always use these settings).

Test Script

The following script will display the 16 colors in the terminal:

To install script:

  • Copy the script to your workstation, name it colors
  • Make it executable: chmod +x colors
  • Run it: ./colors

Note: the color scheme I use for Vim in the screenshot above can be found here.
