./install_theme.sh

This will:

• List all installed themes after installation

Manually Install theme files

If you prefer to manually install themes instead of running the script, follow these steps:

1. Copy the desired .conf file(s) from the themes/ directory to your Ghostty themes configuration folder:

mkdir -p ~/.config/ghostty/themes

# Install monochrome theme
cp themes/studio1804-monochrome.conf ~/.config/ghostty/themes/

# Install modern theme
cp themes/studio1804-modern.conf ~/.config/ghostty/themes/

# Or install both
cp themes/*.conf ~/.config/ghostty/themes/

Set Theme in config

Add one of these lines to your Ghostty configuration file (~/.config/ghostty/config):

# For the monochrome theme
theme = studio1804-monochrome.conf

# For the modern theme  
theme = studio1804-modern.conf
