Themes

Built in: dracula, nord, gruvbox, solarized-dark, solarized-light, catppuccin, tokyo-night, and plain (a 16-color-safe fallback with no truecolor hex codes, for terminals with no real color support).

Truecolor-to-256/16-color degradation is handled automatically by lipgloss/termenv based on the terminal's detected color profile (and $COLORTERM) -- themes don't need separate variants per color depth.

To customize or add a theme, drop a TOML file at ~/.config/torrnado/themes/<name>.toml (matching theme = "<name>" in config.toml) with all ten colors set:

background  = "#1a1b26"
foreground  = "#c0caf5"
muted       = "#565f89"
accent      = "#7aa2f7"
success     = "#9ece6a"
warning     = "#e0af68"
error       = "#f7768e"
border      = "#292e42"
selected_bg = "#292e42"
selected_fg = "#c0caf5"

A file matching a built-in theme's name overrides that built-in.

Switching themes at runtime

:theme opens a floating picker over the panes. Moving through it applies each theme as you go -- the list, sidebar and detail pane underneath recolor live, so you judge a theme on your own torrents rather than on a swatch. enter keeps it, esc puts back the one you started with. Your own themes from the themes directory are listed alongside the built-ins and marked (user); one that fails to parse is reported and stepped over rather than applied.

:theme nord switches straight to a named theme without opening the picker.

The choice lasts for the session. torrnado will not rewrite your config.toml -- doing so would re-encode the file and lose its comments and ordering -- so to keep a theme, put theme = "nord" in it yourself.
