Ghostty themes

Ghostty reads themes from its config directory and applies one with a single line. Each exported file has the full 16-color palette plus cursor and selection.

What is a Ghostty theme?

To install a theme in Ghostty, download the theme file and follow the steps below; this page includes 112 ready-to-use palettes.

Each palette sets the background, foreground, cursor, selection, and the 16 ANSI colors used by prompts, Git, and editors. One palette is exported to six terminals, so colors stay consistent when you switch apps.

How does Ghostty load themes?

Save the file to ~/.config/ghostty/themes/<name>. Add theme = <name> to ~/.config/ghostty/config. This site generates the native file from one palette instead of copying an upstream theme file or screenshot.
