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.
