# gsty
Ghostty live preview theme browser and installer TUI.
Browse, preview, and apply Ghostty terminal themes from a live TUI. Supports filtering by dark/light mode, searching by name, and real-time palette preview with a Rust code snippet.
## Usage
```bash
gsty # interactive TUI theme picker
gsty --list # plain text listing (non-TTY fallback)
```
### Theme Discovery
gsty searches these paths for Ghostty theme files:
```bash
/Applications/Ghostty.app/Contents/Resources/ghostty/themes
/opt/homebrew/share/ghostty/themes
/usr/share/ghostty/themes
~/.config/ghostty/themes
```
Selected themes are applied to `~/.config/ghostty/auto/theme.ghostty`. Reload Ghostty with **Shift+Cmd+,** to see the change.
