💅 NAME 💅

/theme — the Profanity /theme command, bestie. yes that's literally it, we're starting strong.

Okay so real talk: this is a page from the Profanity XMPP client manual. If you came here looking for the general man command, wrong page, but you're here now so stay, it's cute here. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Load a theme. A theme is not just a colour palette, okay, it includes colours and UI options. So when you load one you're lowkey redecorating your whole client, not just picking a nail colour. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/theme list

/theme load <theme>

/theme full-load <theme>

/theme colours

/theme properties

five whole ways to use it. we love options. we love range. 💖

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • list — Lists all the available themes. every single one. it's giving window shopping, no cap. 🛍️
  • load <theme> — Loads the colours from the theme you specified. And heads up: using 'default' as the theme will reset you back to the default theme. so if you fumbled the aesthetic, 'default' is your undo button. 🙈
  • full-load <theme> — Same as 'load', but it also loads the preferences set inside the theme, not just the colours. so like, load is the palette, full-load is the whole personality. main character energy. 💅
  • colours — Shows the colour values as rendered by your terminal. so you actually get to see what your terminal does with them, which is not always what you'd expect. vibe check your terminal, honestly. 🌈
  • properties — Shows the colour settings for the current theme. receipts for whatever you've got loaded right now. 🧾

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

List everything you could possibly become:

/theme list

And then actually commit to the forest era:

/theme load forest

forest. iconic choice. go off. 🌲✨

and that's the whole page, bestie — no cap, no skips, every flag accounted for. this was Profanity version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08, and that footer is the last line of the original so we're mentioning it here in the sign-off like promised. thanks for reading, mwah, go theme your client. 💖🎀🫶
