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 = True

The installer does the same thing: ./install.sh, or ./install.sh --variant neon for just that one.

Color mapping ​

BoxColor
CPUpurple through pink to cyan
Memorycyan
Networkpink and cyan
Process listgreen 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.
