Set-GlyTheme DefaultLight

Preview every color matcher without changing the active theme:

Show-GlyThemeColor DefaultLight

See Theme and glyph previews for combined previews and pipeline behavior.

Essential Color Rules

Built-in color themes intentionally use only five filesystem-oriented rules. This keeps output readable and avoids assigning arbitrary colors to every recognized extension or well-known name:

Palette group	Selectors
File	Unknown files and fallback.
Directory	Directories.
Symlink	Symbolic links and junctions.
Hidden	Items with the Hidden attribute.
ReadOnly	Items with the ReadOnly attribute.

Recognized extensions, specialized directories, and well-known filenames use the default file color. NoColor is the exception: it has no rules, and its default style does not set a foreground or background.

Strongly Typed Structure

Get-GlyTheme and Copy-GlyTheme return GlyTheme. Nested objects use GlyStyle, GlyThemeRule, and GlySelector. Register-GlyTheme also accepts a hashtable or pscustomobject and converts it to the typed model after validation:

@{
    Name = 'MyTheme'
    BuiltIn = $false
    Default = @{
        Foreground = '#d4d4d4'
        Background = $null
        Bold = $false
        Italic = $false
        Underline = $false
    }
    Rules = @(
        @{
            Selector = @{ Kind = 'Directory' }
            Style = @{ Foreground = '#8ec07c'; Bold = $true }
        }
    )
}

Supported color values:

• #RRGGBB
• $null

Rule Selectors

Themes use the shared selector model, which documents fields, matching behavior, and rule precedence.

Custom Theme

Built-in themes are immutable. Copy a theme, edit the copy, and register it under a new name:

$theme = Copy-GlyTheme DefaultDark MyDark
$theme.Rules += @{
    Selector = @{ Extension = '.log' }
    Style = @{
        Foreground = '#d79921'
        Background = $null
        Bold = $false
        Italic = $false
        Underline = $false
    }
}

Register-GlyTheme $theme
Set-GlyTheme MyDark

Built-in themes cannot be overwritten. Theme imports from .json, .yaml, .psd1, and .ps1 files are outside the MVP.
