I was wondering if anyone knew any color schemes with a pure black background (#000000)? Every theme I could think of used something lighter colored so I wanted to know if I was missing some.

The motivation is partially I think it would look cool and partially the potential for lower power usage on an oled screen.

Edit: primarily asking for color scheme suggestions for my window manager and terminal, less so how to theme

I ended up setting up custom themes for multiple different widget sets to get a true black background. It was easy for most QT variants, not too bad for GTK2, really awful for GTK3 because it doesn’t have proper documentation for manual theme creation, and I haven’t tried to tackle GTK4 yet.

Because they all need different configs (and the window manager title bar etc. may need yet another one), it’s difficult to give suggestions unless you tell us which terminal and window manager software you’re trying to theme—the requirements for a Gnome session are different from those for something like fluxbox. Some terminal software even has its own built-in theming support.

Oh I was more looking for suggestions of actual color schemes rather than how to theme, sorry for the confusion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
