claude-theme

Curated theme presets for Claude Code. One command, complete transformation.

Transform your Claude Code experience with opinionated, cohesive themes that go beyond colors—including statusline configuration, thinking verbs, and terminal color exports.

What Gets Changed

When you apply a theme, claude-theme:

1. Backs up your current ~/.claude/settings.json
2. Sets light/dark mode based on theme background
3. Generates a statusline script at ~/.claude-theme/statusline.js
4. Prints instructions for manual statusline setup

To enable the statusline, add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "statusline": {
    "command": "node ~/.claude-theme/statusline.js"
  }
}

Reset

npx claude-theme reset

Restores your settings from the automatic backup created when you first applied a theme.
