Ghostty¶

Ghostty is the configured terminal emulator. Config lives in .config/ghostty/config and themes in .config/ghostty/themes/.

Config highlights¶

.config/ghostty/config

# theme — follows system appearance
theme = dark:cyberdream,light:cyberdream-light

# font
font-family = "Iosevka NF"
font-size = 15
font-thicken = true
font-thicken-strength = 1
adjust-cell-height = 1

# window
background-opacity = 0.9
background-blur = 16
window-padding-x = 5,5
window-padding-y = 5,5
window-colorspace = display-p3
window-decoration = true
window-save-state = always
macos-titlebar-style = hidden

# mouse / cursor

focus-follows-mouse = true
cursor-click-to-move = true

# splits
unfocused-split-opacity = 0.50

Key	Effect
`theme = dark:…,light:…`	Auto-switches between cyberdream variants with the system appearance.
`font-thicken = true`	Synthetic bolding fix for Iosevka on macOS — small, important.
`background-opacity 0.9`	90% opacity with 16 px blur. Tweak to taste.
`window-colorspace = display-p3`	Wide-gamut color on supported displays.
`macos-option-as-alt`	Makes the Option key send Alt, which most TUIs and Vim expect.

Themes¶

.config/ghostty/themes/ ships two custom themes:

cyberdream (dark)cyberdream-light

background = #16181A
foreground = #FFFFFF
cursor-color = #FFFFFF
selection-background = #3C4048

palette = 4=#5EA1FF   # blue
palette = 5=#BD5EFF   # purple
palette = 6=#5EF1FF   # cyan
# ...

background = #FFFFFF
foreground = #16181A
cursor-color = #16181A
selection-background = #ACACAC

palette = 4=#0057D1
palette = 5=#A018FF
palette = 6=#008C99
# ...

Auto-updates¶

auto-update = download and quit-after-last-window-closed-delay = 5s make Ghostty hand-off between launches feel like one continuous app.
