Using Themes
/theme # list available themes
/theme solarized-dark # switch theme
/theme reload # hot-reload current theme
Themes are TOML files in ~/.local/share/flume/themes/.
Shipped Themes
Flume ships with five themes in examples/themes/:
solarized-dark
gruvbox-dark
catppuccin-mocha
catppuccin-glass — transparent variant
miasma — dark organic palette
miasma-glass — transparent variant
Copy them to your themes directory to use them.
Importing Themes
Import color schemes from external sources (like Omarchy themes) with a single command:
/theme import https://github.com/OldJobobo/omarchy-miasma-theme
This fetches the colors.toml from the GitHub repo, maps the color palette to Flume’s theme format, and generates both a solid and transparent (glass) variant:
Imported theme: omarchy-miasma-theme
Saved: omarchy-miasma-theme.toml
Saved: omarchy-miasma-theme-glass.toml
Switching to imported theme...
Any GitHub repository with a colors.toml file containing the Omarchy format (accent, foreground, background, color0-15) is supported.
Transparent Backgrounds
Add transparent = true to a theme’s [meta] section to make all backgrounds use the terminal’s default (showing through to your wallpaper or background image):
[meta]
name = "my-glass"
transparent = true
[elements]
# foreground colors still apply normally
chat_message = "#cdd6f4"
# ... but all _bg colors become Color::Reset
Works with any terminal that supports transparency (iTerm2, Kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, Ghostty with background-opacity). Set your terminal’s transparency/blur to taste.

Nick Colors
Nick colors are assigned by hashing the nickname and indexing into the palette. This gives each nick a consistent color that persists across sessions. Colors are reused in large channels.
