Themes

Choose a GitComet theme and find where theme files are stored.

GitComet supports built-in themes and user-provided custom themes.

Themes are loaded from JSON bundle files. GitComet ships with built-in themes and copies them into your per-user themes directory.

Choose A Theme

  1. Open the Settings window with Cmd+, on macOS or Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux.
  2. In the General section, open Theme.
  3. Choose one of these modes:
  • Automatic follows your current light or dark window appearance.
  • GitComet Light always uses the built-in light theme.
  • GitComet Dark always uses the built-in dark theme.

The change applies immediately after you choose a theme.

Current Built-In Themes

GitComet currently ships with:

  • GitComet Light
  • GitComet Dark

Both are defined in the app source under GitComet/crates/gitcomet-ui-gpui/assets/themes/.

Where Theme Files Live

GitComet loads theme definitions from your per-user themes directory:

This is also where you place your custom theme .json files.

PlatformThemes directory
Linux$XDG_DATA_HOME/gitcomet/themes or ~/.local/share/gitcomet/themes
macOS~/Library/Application Support/gitcomet/themes
Windows%LOCALAPPDATA%\\gitcomet\\themes or %APPDATA%\\gitcomet\\themes

Built-in theme files are copied into this directory if the bundled file is missing.

For the supported JSON format and field list, see Custom Themes.
