Theme¶

Enter /theme in the terminal UI to open the full-screen theme browser. Themes and search appear on the left, with a view of the selected theme on the right. Moving through the list previews each theme immediately. Press Enter to apply and save the selected theme, or Esc to restore the one you were using.

/theme

The Colossus theme browser with built-in themes on the left and a live preview on the right.

The screenshot previews hacker while default remains marked as the current theme. Press Enter to save the selection. Open the full-size screenshot.

Use Up/Down to move between themes and / to search by name. When search is active, the first Esc leaves search; press Esc again to close the browser. The selected theme remains in your terminal preferences after you leave the TUI.

Built-in themes¶

Theme	Appearance
`default`	Balanced blue
`mono`	Color-free
`high_contrast`	Strong contrast
`carrot`	Warm orange
`hacker`	Green terminal

You can also choose a theme directly from the composer:

/theme high_contrast

List, preview, or reset¶

/theme list
/theme preview hacker
/theme reset

/theme list shows the active theme, all installed choices, and the folders searched for custom themes. /theme preview NAME shows a sample without changing your selection. /theme reset restores default. For the other terminal commands and keys, see TUI commands and keys.
