Themes and Icons
Language: English · 简体中文
Set theme in [general] to one of:
default · light · nord · dracula · catppuccin · monokai · matugen
A theme sets seven colors at once: foreground, background, border, shadow,
and the three placeholder colors. Individual [style] color keys override
the preset — leave a key out (or comment it out) to fall back to the preset.

The matugen preset resolves these roles from colors.json. Missing files or
roles fall back to the static default palette before GTK CSS is generated.
Any [style] color key accepts GTK CSS color values. background controls
the normal key/typing bubble fill; the overlay window itself stays transparent.
[style]
foreground=#f7f7f2
background=alpha(#111318, 0.86) # hex with alpha
border-color=alpha(#ffffff, 0.18)
shadow=0 7px 22px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30) # full CSS box-shadowAcceptable forms: #rrggbb, named CSS colors (red, white, …), rgba(...),
or alpha(#rrggbb, 0.86). In the TUI, select background, press Enter, then
press c to type one of these values. For wallpaper-driven colors, use
@matugen:<role> (see Matugen Integration).
Override the glyph shown for a key in the [icons] section. The key name
matches the bubble label. Up to 64 overrides are supported.

names like Backspace, Enter, Space, Tab, Esc, Delete, Caps Lock,
Num Lock, Page Up, Volume Up, Super, AltGr, arrows, F-keys,
numpad keys (Num 7, Num +, …), media keys (Mute, Volume Down, …),
and edit keys (Copy, Paste, Undo, Cut, …). See src/keynames.c for
the full table.
In ./seekey --config-tui, the theme field is a TUI_CHOICE — press
Enter to open a list picker and pick a preset live. See TUI Editor.
