Aesthetics & Themes

You can apply themes by launching the application launcher (super+d) and running theme-select-monos. Out of the box, we have 3 themes:

  • Default Dark: Catppuccin Frappé — The default theme when you install Monos.
  • Default Light: Catppuccin Latte — For people who like to burn their eyes.
  • Barney: A theme based on your favorite dinosaur (the theme used on this website).

How to Make Your Own Theme

  1. Navigate to ~/.config/monos-themes/.
  2. Create a directory with the name of the theme you want to create.
  3. Look at how the default-dark theme is implemented on GitHub. You can copy a theme and replace the color codes with your desired colors. You will make a theme for each file in the linked directory. You may also add a file of your own. Every file in this directory will be copied to ~/.config/monos-themes/current/. Therefore, in your program's config, you can point the theme to that directory.
  4. Once you complete your theme, it will appear when you run theme-select-monos.
