Nice job! However, it doesn't look like it supports true color themes. I tried to load one, but nothing happens, and there is no option to select a color besides the predefined 16-color palette.

deejayy, a few wishes to improve the sample screens (on the left on the configurator page):
1. Please use panels with files highlighting enabled (
2. Please add files of predefined groups (
3. Please use an image of the editor with the FarColorer plugin enabled (and ideally with some representative file open, like
1. Please use panels with files highlighting enabled (
Options | Panel settings | Highlight files) at least to see how folders stand out.2. Please add files of predefined groups (
Options | Groups of file masks) to a panel to see how these look over the chosen color theme's background.3. Please use an image of the editor with the FarColorer plugin enabled (and ideally with some representative file open, like
FarEng.hlf, e.g. at its @ColorThemes topic) to see how it looks with the chosen color theme.Фар есть инструмент, а не нянька. © 2009 DrKnS

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, first I shot for the simplest approach, besides, I found having RGB colors a bit "glitchy" on my computer (if rendering takes 2 frames, I see text showing up with wrong colors for a millisecond). But I have RGB support on my plans.
HaRT, thanks for the suggestions and putting the links in my post!
- I'm planning to add File Highlight Color configuration to the tool, so you'll be able to import/preview/adjust/export them as well along with the UI colors.
- This seems logical to connect with point 1. for first sight, but I'll do some planning.
- I thought about cover FarColorer as well, parsing HRD files doesn't seem to be a complex thing, at least for "def:" entries. Let me see.

It should now support ANSI256 and RGB palette as well. Would you mind giving it a try?Yegor wrote: Tue 29 Jul, 2025 00:26 Nice job! However, it doesn't look like it supports true color themes.

Much better now, thanks! But true color mode should support font styles, such as underline, and so on. It would also be great if we could replace the font with a different monospace one.

Both links don't work. I need to customize FAR colors. Could anyone share this program (I will try to figure out what it does)? Or is it an online resource (according to the name)?

It was an online tool. Unfortunately, neither the code nor the deployed version is available right now.

My bad! I totally missed that you're not the original post's author and just posted the direct link (thanks for that!). Sorry for the confusion!
