This chapter is about bpython's themeing capabalities.

bpython uses .theme files placed in your ~/.bpython directory. You can set the theme in the :ref:`configuration_color_scheme` option in your ~/bpython/config` file (:ref:`configuration`). You can find some of our themes in our gallery on our website: http://bpython-interpreter.org/themes/

• k = black
• r = red
• g = green
• y = yellow
• b = blue
• m = magenta
• c = cyan
• w = white
• d = default, this will make the switch default to the bpython default theme

Any letter writting uppercase will make the switch bold.

• keyword
• name
• comment
• string
• error
• number
• operator
• punctuation
• token
• background
• output
• main
• prompt
• prompt_more

The default theme included in bpython is as follows:

# Each letter represents a colour marker:
#   k, r, g, y, b, m, c, w, d
# which stands for:
#   blacK, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, Cyan, White, Default
# Capital letters represent bold
# Copy to ~/.bpython/foo.theme and set "color_scheme = foo" in ~/bpython/config

[syntax]
keyword = y
name = c
comment = b
string = m
error = r
number = G
operator = Y
punctuation = y
token = C
paren = R

[interface]
# XXX: gnome-terminal appears to be braindead. The cursor will disappear unless
# you set the background colour to "d".
background = k
output = w
main = c
prompt = c
prompt_more = g
