Themes

Themes control colors and text style. Glyph sets control the symbols beside names.

Choose and Preview a Theme

Use DefaultDark for a dark terminal background or DefaultLight for a light one:

Set-GlyTheme DefaultLight
Show-GlyThemeColor DefaultLight
Show-GlyThemePreview -Theme DefaultLight -GlyphSet Unicode

The color preview shows sample files, folders, and links. The combined preview shows your chosen colors and symbols together.

List the available themes or preview all of them:

Get-GlyTheme
Show-GlyThemeColor -All

Choose NoColor to leave names uncolored. Themes remain active for the current session; add your choice to your profile to reuse it.

Essential Color Rules

Built-in color themes use only filesystem-oriented colors so that output remains readable instead of assigning arbitrary colors to every recognized file type.

Group	Main coverage
File	Files and fallback.
Directory	Directories.
Symlink	Symbolic links and junctions.
Hidden	Items with the hidden attribute.
ReadOnly	Items with the read-only attribute.

Recognized extensions and well-known names use the default file color. NoColor has no rules and no foreground/background color.

Custom Theme

Copy a theme under a new name, append a rule, and register your copy. This example gives .log files an amber color:

$theme = Copy-GlyTheme DefaultDark MyDark
$theme.Rules += @{
    Selector = @{ Extension = '.log' }
    Style = @{
        Foreground = '#d79921'
        Background = $null
        Bold = $false
        Italic = $false
        Underline = $false
    }
}

Register-GlyTheme $theme
Set-GlyTheme MyDark

Built-in themes cannot be overwritten. Register your copy under a new name. See Selectors to match other file types.
