Themes

simple-bar offers a few themes that you can use to customize the look of your bar.

You can set both a light and a dark theme. The right one will be used depending on the behavior you set in the settings global tab.

Color overrides

You can also override specific theme colors:

  • Main
  • Main alternative
  • Minor
  • Accent
  • Red
  • Green
  • Yellow
  • Orange
  • Blue
  • Magenta
  • Cyan
  • Black
  • White
  • Foreground
  • Background

Colors defined here will override the selected theme. Leave it empty to use the theme colors.

You can use any valid CSS color:

  • named-color
  • hex-color
  • rgb()
  • hsl()
  • hwb()

Styles are applied in this order:

  • Theme
  • Color overrides
  • Custom styles

The last one overrides the previous ones.
