# Colorschemes
cointop supports custom colorschemes (themes).
To use standard colorschemes, clone the [colors](https://github.com/cointop-sh/colors) repository into the config directory:
```bash
$ cd ~/.config/cointop
$ git clone git@github.com:cointop-sh/colors.git
```
Then edit your config `~/.config/cointop/config.toml` and set the colorscheme you want to use:
```toml
colorscheme = ""
```
The colorscheme name is the name of the colorscheme TOML file.
For example, if you have `matrix.toml` in `~/.cointop/colors/` then the `colorscheme` property should be set to:
```toml
colorscheme = "matrix"
```
Alternatively, you can run cointop with the `--colorscheme` flag to set the colorscheme:
```bash
$ cointop --colorscheme matrix
```
To create your own colorscheme; simply copy an existing [colorscheme](https://github.com/cointop-sh/colors/blob/master/cointop.toml), rename it, and customize the colors.
