Themes

A theme is a set of colors defining the appearance of UI. By default, Yōzefu comes with 3 built-in themes:

• light
• dark
• solarized-dark-higher-contrast

These themes are defined in the themes.json file. You can find the location of your themes.json by running:

yozf config get themes_file
"/Users/me/Library/Application Support/io.maif.yozefu/themes.json"

How to select a theme

You have 2 options:

1. Use the --theme <name> flag when launching yōzefu.
2. Or update your configuration: yozf config set /theme solarized-dark-higher-contrast

🖌️ You can also create, update and share your own themes by editing themes.json.

Highlighter

For syntax highlighting, Yōzefu uses Syntect Syntect includes 7 built-in themes:

• base16-ocean.dark
• base16-eighties.dark
• base16-mocha.dark
• base16-ocean.light
• InspiredGitHub
• Solarized (dark)
• Solarized (light)

How to select a highlighter theme?

You can configure it in two ways:

1. In config.json, under the /highlighter_theme property.
2. In themes.json, for a specific theme, under /<theme-name>/highlighter_theme.

Using a custom highlighter theme

syntect supports Sublime Text .tmTheme format. For example, to use Srcery TextMate:

1. Go to your Yōzefu configuration directory: cd "$(yozf config get dir)"
2. Download the theme: git clone https://github.com/srcery-colors/srcery-textmate.git.
3. Edit your configuration to point to the theme file:

# Open the `config.json` file
yozf configure

# Then edit the `highlighter_theme` property:
{
  ...
  "initial_query": "from end - 10",
  "theme": "light",
  "highlighter_theme": "/home/user/.config/yozefu/srcery-textmate/srcery.tmTheme",
  ...
}

1. Save the file and restart Yōzefu for the changes to take effect.

NOTE

You can disable Syntect by setting the highlighter_theme property to null in your configuration and themes.json.
