My Cool Retro Term Presets

Nothing special here I guess? Unless you like cool-retro-term presets that is! Save each of these presets somewhere and load them into 'cool-retro-term', which you will have to install from your repository. Of course, play around and adjust these but this is what I'm using currently. Of note, I am using picom/compton to control the transparency of the terminal's background. I have it at 85%.

mkdir -p ~/cool-retro-term
cd ~/cool-retro-term

For the sake of an example, lets say we toss these right in our home directory in ~/cool-retro-term and then navigate there.

This example is what I provided in the Emotional Bash Prompt article. It's good for using a full spectrum of terminal colours in xterm-256color mode in this terminal. If you want full range of your IRC client's colours you'll want to use this theme instead of the monochrome setups.

This is an adjusted amber monochrome setting I use.

This is a more vibrant green monochrome setup.

This is a pink monochrome I'm playing with at the moment.

Please be patient contacting me, I don't really check much of social media or anything. If you use the IRC be sure to stick around because that's how IRC works, silly. :P
