This is a theme for the whiptail
linux tool, that creates menus in the terminal. It's similar to dialog
. I made it for a project of mine, but because there aren't many themes out there, i share it for anyone who might find it useful.
whiptail
doesn't have a config file for its colors. You have to change the following environment variable, so you can put the following command inside your .bashrc
file or any other script. The result is an orange/black combination, with some white and yellow. I wanted to give a theme/look of rust and/or darkish colors. It's very distinguishable and easy to read. Take a look here for an example:
And here are some other examples/themes you can take ideas for. Whiptail themes
