Theming

Cogitus is built on Textual, which includes a built-in theming system. You can switch between several visual themes at runtime without restarting the app.

Switching Themes

Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+P, then either type theme to filter the commands or use the arrow keys to scroll through the list, and select Change the current theme. A list of available themes appears — use the arrow keys or type to filter, then press Enter to apply.

Available Themes

The themes available depend on the version of Textual installed. Built-in themes typically include:

Theme Style
textual-dark Dark (default)
textual-light Light
nord Dark, muted blues
gruvbox Dark, warm tones
dracula Dark, purple accents
tokyo-night Dark, cool blue/purple
monokai Dark, vivid accents
catppuccin-mocha Dark, pastel
solarized-light Light, warm

Open the Command Palette in a running Cogitus session to see the exact list for your installation.
