Theming

Note

You do not have to use theme if you want to use your own theme in your config. Theme is implemented because it makes downloading theme from different sources much more easier.

Note

To find themes that already created see yatline-themes.

To create your own theme follow these steps:

1. Create a Yazi plugin for example my-theme.yazi. See https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview for more information.
2. Inside of the init.lua file. Create a theme variable such as:

local theme = {
	section_separator = { open = "", close = "" },
	part_separator = { open = "", close = "" },
	inverse_separator = { open = "", close = "" },

	style_a = {
		fg = "black",
		bg_mode = {
			normal = "#a89984",
			select = "#d79921",
			un_set = "#d65d0e"
		}
	},
	style_b = { bg = "#665c54", fg = "#ebdbb2" },
	style_c = { bg = "#3c3836", fg = "#a89984" },

	permissions_t_fg = "green",
	permissions_r_fg = "yellow",
	permissions_w_fg = "red",
	permissions_x_fg = "cyan",
	permissions_s_fg = "white",

	selected = { icon = "󰻭", fg = "yellow" },
	copied = { icon = "", fg = "green" },
	cut = { icon = "", fg = "red" },

	total = { icon = "󰮍", fg = "yellow" },
	succ = { icon = "", fg = "green" },
	fail = { icon = "", fg = "red" },
	found = { icon = "󰮕", fg = "blue" },
	processed = { icon = "󰐍", fg = "green" },
}

3. Return the value to be able to use in our config by doing:

return { setup = function() return theme end }

4. In yazi's init.lua file. Add your plugin and get the theme variable with:

local my_theme = require("my-theme"):setup()

5. Use the variable in your Yatline's config.

theme = my_theme,
