btop
Themes for btop: box borders, the CPU, memory, network, and process gradients, meters, and the selected row.
Install
bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/btop/themes
cp extras/btop/silkcircuit-*.theme ~/.config/btop/themes/Then pick one inside btop: Esc, Options, Color theme, silkcircuit-neon. btop writes the choice back to ~/.config/btop/btop.conf:
ini
color_theme = "silkcircuit-neon"
truecolor = TrueThe installer does the same thing: ./install.sh, or ./install.sh --variant neon for just that one.
Color mapping
| Box | Color |
|---|---|
| CPU | purple through pink to cyan |
| Memory | cyan |
| Network | pink and cyan |
| Process list | green outline |
Box titles are magenta throughout, rather than per box.
Colors look washed out
btop falls back to 256 colors when it cannot tell that the terminal does 24-bit. Set truecolor = True in btop.conf and check that $COLORTERM reads truecolor.
