- Window theme — light, dark, acrylic, black gold, or follow the system.
- Accent color — the highlight tone used across the UI.
- Terminal color scheme — the palette your shell output uses.
Window theme
Five options, picked from a row of swatches at the top of the Appearance settings page:| Theme | Notes |
|---|---|
| Light | Standard light UI. |
| Dark | Standard dark UI. |
| Acrylic | Translucent dark UI with a frosted-glass effect. Not supported on Linux X11. |
| Black Gold | A premium dark theme with gold accents. Pro feature — requires a Pro subscription. |
| System | Tracks your OS’s light / dark mode automatically. |
Acrylic opacity
When Acrylic is selected, an Opacity slider appears. Lower opacity lets more of the desktop show through; higher opacity is closer to a solid dark theme. Find what works for your setup — heavy desktop wallpapers usually want higher opacity, plain solid colors can take more transparency.Black Gold
A premium look intended for users who want the app to stand out. Subscribed Pro users see it in the swatch row; Free users see it greyed out with a Pro tag. See Built-in models for what Pro includes.Accent color
The accent color is the hue used for active state, focus rings, link underlines, and the few brand splashes around the UI. Twelve presets are available:- Default (Rumus’s signature blue-purple)
- Blue, Sky Blue, Cyan
- Green, Lime
- Yellow, Orange, Red Orange, Red
- Rose, Pink Purple
Terminal color scheme
The window theme controls Rumus’s chrome (the shell of the app). The terminal color scheme controls the palette yourls, git, htop, and friends use inside terminal tabs.
Rumus ships two terminal palettes that are linked to your window theme:
- Dark scheme — used when the window is in Dark, Acrylic, Black Gold, or System (dark) mode.
- Light scheme — used in Light or System (light) mode.
Customize the palette
In Settings → Appearance → Terminal colors, expand the dark or light palette and click any swatch to change it. A color picker opens with hex input. Save to apply.Reset to defaults
Each palette has a Reset to defaults button that restores the shipping scheme.Choosing colors that work
- Stick close to the standard ANSI hues. Lots of CLI tools assume “red = error” and “green = success”. A swapped palette breaks at-a-glance reading.
- Test against the foreground. Bright yellow on a near-black background is fine; bright yellow on light grey is invisible. Open a
git statusin a tab while you tweak so you can see the consequences immediately. - Mind the cursor and selection. A selection color too close to the background eats your selection visibility; make sure both are clearly visible against your foreground text.
