Installation

Automatic Installation (Recommended)

Run the setup script to automatically install the themes and optionally configure your default theme:

./setup.sh

Manual Installation

1. Locate your Helix configuration directory:

   • Linux/macOS: ~/.config/helix/
   • Windows: %AppData%\helix\

2. Create a themes directory if it doesn't exist:

   mkdir -p ~/.config/helix/themes
   

3. Copy the .toml theme files to the themes directory:

   cp ciapre.toml ~/.config/helix/themes/
   cp ciapreblack.toml ~/.config/helix/themes/
   

4. Update your Helix configuration file (config.toml in the Helix config directory) to use one of the themes:

   [theme]
   default = "ciapre"
   

   Or to use the black variant:

   [theme]
   default = "ciapreblack"
   

Configuration

You can also set the theme on a per-project basis by adding a .helix directory to your project and creating a config.toml file with your theme preference.
