# iTerm2 saves it's preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist in a binary format | |
# What you need to do is basically copy that somewhere, convert to xml and remove color schemes in the xml files. | |
$ cd /tmp/ | |
$ cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist . | |
$ plutil -convert xml1 com.googlecode.iterm2.plist | |
$ vi com.googlecode.iterm2.plist | |
# Now remove the color schemes in the <key> and <dict> tags, | |
# to make it easier, record a macro in vi to remove the key (e.g: Desert/Solarized) using `dd`, | |
# and then remove its color dict with `dat` (delete around tag), and repeat the macro until | |
# all color schemes you want to delete is gone. | |
# A much easier way is to use xcode and edit the dict "Custom Color Presets" as you want. | |
# Save the file, and copy it back: | |
$ cp com.googlecode.iterm2.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ | |
# Note that iTerm2 has 'fallback' configuration in case something is wrong, | |
# You might want to remove them as well: | |
$ rm ~/Library/Preferences/iTerm2.plist | |
$ rm ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.iTerm.plist | |
# Now reload the configuration | |
$ cd ~/Library/Preferences/ | |
$ defaults read com.googlecode.iterm2 | |
# Restart iTerm, and check the color-scheme list in the Preferences menu, you shouldn't see the old color-schemes now. |
