Colorschemes
cointop supports custom colorschemes (themes).
To use standard colorschemes, clone the colors repository into the config directory:
$ cd ~/.cointop
$ git clone git@github.com:cointop-sh/colors.git
Then edit your config ~/.cointop/config.toml
and set the colorscheme you want to use:
colorscheme = "<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:
colorscheme = "matrix"
Alternatively, you can run cointop with the --colorscheme
flag to set the colorscheme:
$ cointop --colorscheme matrix
To create your own colorscheme; simply copy an existing colorscheme, rename it, and customize the colors.
Config
The first time you run cointop, it'll create a config file in:
~/.cointop/config.toml
You can then configure the actions you want for each key:

)
