Random Color Preset

The script demonstrates running some code when a new session is created. It picks a random color preset and changes the session’s colors (without changing the underlying profile).

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import iterm2
import random

async def SetPresetInSession(connection, session, preset_name):
    preset = await iterm2.ColorPreset.async_get(connection, preset_name)
    if not preset:
        return
    profile = await session.async_get_profile()
    if not profile:
        return
    await profile.async_set_color_preset(preset)

async def main(connection):
    app = await iterm2.async_get_app(connection)
    color_preset_names = await iterm2.ColorPreset.async_get_list(connection)
    async with iterm2.NewSessionMonitor(connection) as mon:
        while True:
            session_id = await mon.async_get()
            session = app.get_session_by_id(session_id)
            if session:
                await SetPresetInSession(connection, session, random.choice(color_preset_names))

iterm2.run_forever(main)
