This is a collection of color scripts for IDA Pro. They deal with
import and export of color themes.
Scripts:
ida_osx_import_theme.py
quick hack to import IDA color theme from exported Windows reg file.
This script generates a new config file. Backup your original.

export_IDA_colors.py
This is a work in progress. It will export a color theme to YAML.
The corresponding import from YAML functionality is not complete.
palette_offsets.py
This contains offsets for individual fields within color palettes.
It is used by export_ida_colors.py.
IDA Color Theme Background:
IDA Colors are stored in the registry or a pseudo registry in the case
of OS X and Linux (~/.idapro/ida.reg).
The keys of interest are:
Palette REG_BINARY 0x34c
NavPalette REG_BINARY 0x24
NavPaletteExtended REG_BINARY 0x4
DebuggerPalette REG_BINARY 0x2c
ArrowsPalette REG_BINARY 0x14
GraphPalette REG_BINARY 0x3c
MiscPalette REG_BINARY 0x10
HintColorQ REG_DWORD
AutoHighlightColorQ REG_DWORD
There may be other keys present such as HintColor and
AutoHighlightColor. These are for the legacy idag.exe (non QT).
The Palette key contains the bulk of the color data. Within IDA,
one can select one of four palettes. This feature is not very useful
as one has to manually modify other fields such as AutoHighlightColorQ.
The Palette offsets listed in palette_offsets.py only list the first set
of palettes, but these repeat for all four sets. An offset not listed
in the file describes which palette is active.
