⚙️ Configuration

The default settings require a terminal with support for 8-bit color. If colors are not displaying correctly in your terminal (e.g., the cursor/selection is not distinguishable, etc.), try adjusting them in the configuration to one of the standard ANSI colors (0-15).

Placement: ~/.midday.json

If the configuration file is not found, the default configuration is used.

Example configuration:

{
    "theme": {
        "primary": 1,
        "secondary": 2,
        "background": -1,
        "accent1": 3,
        "accent2": 4,
        "accent3": 5	
    }
}

Explanation of the theme items can be found in the documentation.
