gsty – terminal-based theme browser for Ghostty

gsty is a terminal-based theme browser for the Ghostty terminal emulator. Written in Rust, it provides an interactive interface for finding, previewing and applying installed themes.

Themes are previewed in real time, with gsty signalling running Ghostty instances to reload their configuration. The interface displays each theme’s colour palette and rendered sample code, while filtering and search tools make large theme collections easier to navigate.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Browse installed Ghostty themes from a terminal interface.
  • Preview themes in real time before confirming a selection.
  • Display 16-colour palettes, foreground and background colours.
  • Render syntax-highlighted sample code using the selected theme.
  • Filter themes by dark, light or all colour schemes.
  • Search for themes by name.
  • Restore the previous theme when cancelling a selection.
  • List available themes as plain text for scripts and non-TTY environments.
  • Discover themes from system and user configuration directories.
