Themes

Press T (or : Change theme…) to pick one; the choice is saved in ~/.config/orbit/config.json and applies to every project.

Built in: orbit (default), catppuccin-mocha, catppuccin-macchiato, catppuccin-frappe, catppuccin-latte (light), tokyo-night, dracula, nord, gruvbox, rose-pine, one-dark. Palettes come from the upstream projects (all MIT, see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md); orbit is not affiliated with them.

Your own themes are JSON files in ~/.config/orbit/themes/<name>.json ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME is respected). They extend a built-in one (default orbit) and override any color:

{
  "extends": "catppuccin-mocha",
  "colors": { "accent": "#ff79c6", "services": ["#ff79c6", "#8be9fd", "#50fa7b"] }
}

Colors are #rrggbb. Keys: bg panel panelAlt selection cursor match border borderFocus text muted dim accent accent2 cyan green yellow orange red edge upstream downstream, plus services (list used for log prefixes). Broken files are skipped and reported on startup.
