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.
