## Colorschemes
5 years ago
cointop supports custom colorschemes (themes).
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/168240/59164231-165b9c80-8abf-11e9-98cf-915ee37407ff.gif" alt="cointop colorschemes" width="880" />
5 years ago
To use standard colorschemes, clone the [colors](https://github.com/cointop-sh/colors) repository into the config directory:
```bash
$ cd ~/.config/cointop
$ git clone git@github.com:cointop-sh/colors.git
```
Then edit your config `~/.config/cointop/config.toml` and set the colorscheme you want to use:
```toml
5 years ago
colorscheme = "<colorscheme>"
```
5 years ago
The colorscheme name is the name of the colorscheme TOML file.
5 years ago
For example, if you have `matrix.toml` in `~/.cointop/colors/` then the `colorscheme` property should be set to:
```toml
colorscheme = "matrix"
```
5 years ago
Alternatively, you can run cointop with the `--colorscheme` flag to set the colorscheme:
```bash
$ cointop --colorscheme matrix
```
To create your own colorscheme; simply copy an existing [colorscheme](https://github.com/cointop-sh/colors/blob/master/cointop.toml), rename it, and customize the colors.
## Config
The first time you run cointop, it'll create a config file in:
```
~/.config/cointop/config.toml
```
You can then configure the actions you want for each key:
(default `~/.config/cointop/config.toml`)
```toml
