simple_theme {cli}

A simple CLI theme

Description

To use this theme, you can set it as the cli.theme option. Note that this is in addition to the builtin theme, which is still in effect.

Usage

simple_theme(dark = getOption("cli.theme_dark", "auto"))

Arguments

dark

Whether the theme should be optimized for a dark background. If "auto", then cli will try to detect this. Detection usually works in recent RStudio versions, and in iTerm on macOS, but not on other platforms.

Details

options(cli.theme = cli::simple_theme())

and then CLI apps started after this will use it as the default theme. You can also use it temporarily, in a div element:

cli_div(theme = cli::simple_theme())

Showcase

show <- cli_div(theme = cli::simple_theme())
