A fully synchronized CLI color theme based on the famous Night Owl palette, redesigned for low-light, high-focus terminal environments.

This project brings Night Owl's signature cool tones and soft contrasts to your favorite command-line tools, including:

• 🐙 delta – Git diff viewer
• 🐱 bat – Syntax-highlighting cat replacement
• 🛁 k9s – Kubernetes TUI client
• 🧬 fzf – Fuzzy finder with preview integration
• 🔮 iterm2 – Terminal emulator color scheme
• 🧪 tmux – Status line and pane border theming
• 🚀 starship – Minimal prompt with semantic color cues

Night Owl is more than a theme — it’s a workspace ritual.

• Optimized for focus and clarity in low-light environments
• Reduces eye strain without sacrificing syntax readability
• Carefully selected saturation and brightness levels per tool

A helper script is available for auto-installation of supported components:

./install.sh

This script:

• Installs each theme only if the related tool is installed
• Backs up your config file if it already exists
• Symlinks or copies the Night Owl config into proper location

⚠️ If you already have custom config for any tool, review and merge manually. Do not run blindly unless you're fully aware of the changes.

When in doubt: install one tool at a time by following the steps below.

1. Copy delta/night-owl-delta.ini to ~/.config/delta/themes/night-owl.ini

2. In ~/.gitconfig, include the theme config:

   [include]
       path = ~/.config/delta/themes/night-owl.ini
   
   [delta]
       syntax-theme = "Night-Owl"
       features = "night-owl"

✅ Note: Do not manually copy the [delta "night-owl"] block into ~/.gitconfig. Use [include] instead to ensure full compatibility with delta's features mechanism.

1. Copy bat/Night-Owl.tmTheme to ~/.config/bat/themes/
2. Run: bat cache --build
3. Set theme: export BAT_THEME="Night-Owl"

1. Copy k9s/night-owl.yaml to ~/.k9s/skins/night-owl.yaml

2. In ~/.k9s/config.yaml:

   k9s:
     skin: night-owl

1. Source the file in your .zshrc:

   source "$ZDOTDIR/tools/fzf-night-owl.zsh"

1. Go to Preferences → Profiles → Colors → Color Presets... → Import...
2. Select iterm2/Night-Owl.itermcolors
3. Apply the theme from the Presets dropdown

1. Source tmux/.tmux.conf or merge into your own .tmux.conf
2. Reload: tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

1. Replace or merge into ~/.config/starship.toml
2. Place random_emoji_cmd.sh at ~/.config/zsh/tools/random_emoji_cmd.sh
   (or update the path in starship.toml if you use a different location)

This script generates a random emoji for each prompt refresh 🎲
Don’t forget to chmod +x it!

To remove all installed Night Owl configurations, run:

  ./uninstall.sh

This will:

• Remove all Night Owl theme/config files installed by install.sh
• Restore any .bak backups that were created during installation

To preview what would be removed without making changes:

  ./uninstall.sh --dry-run

⚠️ iTerm2 color presets must be removed manually: Preferences → Profiles → Colors → Color Presets... → Remove 'Night Owl'

This script only affects files created by install.sh. If you've merged configs manually, please review them before running uninstall.
