Configuration

Theme files only set colors; your fonts, padding, opacity, shell and keybindings stay unchanged. Put any personal color overrides after the theme include.

All four installed flavors are also available in kitten themes. See Kitty’s configuration reference for application settings.

Compatibility

For the Kitty terminal on Linux and macOS. Includes all 16 ANSI colors, foreground and background, selection, cursor, URL, border, tab and mark colors. No plugin or build step is required. Applications with their own syntax themes, such as Neovim, need their matching Living Code port.

Contributing

Found a problem? Open an issue with the app version, the flavor and a screenshot. Want Living Code somewhere else? Request a port.

Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
