How to install Zellij themes

I recently give zellij a try as my terminal multiplexer and it is awesome. If you have not tried yet, I totally recommend it.

It is fully configurable, but at the same time you do not have to deal with having to configure it from day one as tmux as the initial setup just works perfectly fine.

One of the things you can do is creating your own themes and swithcing between them. You can use on of ones that are defined on the initial setup too.

Create Initial Zellij Config file

Create a theme

Themes can be specified either in the config file zellij.kdl under the themes or directly in a different folder.

themes {

        bg 251 82 75

        green 152 151 26…
