Installing and switching theme

Download bashish from http://bashish.sourceforge.net

If avaliable, install a package native to your system, otherwise download the source and run the InstallBashish script, you will be prompted for further instructions.

Once you have finished installing bashish, you may run the bashish script to start a new bashish terminal¹.

An ordinary black terminal will appear. Now run the changetheme command. You will be presented with sparse information about the theme.

Run the changetheme -l command to see which themes are avaliable. Now change the theme to something less boring:

$ changetheme lcars

Themes are searched in the $BASHISH_USERDIR/themes/ and the $BASHISHDIR/themes directories.

To add a theme to an application (or change theme for an application) do

$ changetheme <appname> <themename>

To remove disable theming from an application, do

$ changetheme <appname> none

As always, replace <appname> with name of application and <themename> with name of theme.
