Fonts Config

Fonts are configured in ~/.config/alacritty/fonts.yaml with this format:

fonts:
  Alias: Font Name

When applied using jscritty -f Alias, the previous format will be converted into the alacritty equivalent:

font:
  normal:
    family: Font Name
  italic:
    family: Font Name
  bold:
    family: Font Name

You can also specify a different font for each font type:

fonts:
  Alias:
    normal: Normal Font Name
    bold: Bold Font Name
    italic: Italic Font Name

Note that the fonts must be installed on your system.

Theme Config

You can make your own custom themes by creating new theme files with the correct format, ~/.config/alacritty/themes/custom.yaml should look like this:

colors:
  # Default colors
  primary:
    background: "0x292d3e"
    foreground: "0xbbc5ff"
  # Normal colors
  normal:
    black: "0x101010"
    red: "0xf07178"
    green: "0xc3e88d"
    yellow: "0xffcb6b"
    blue: "0x82aaff"
    magenta: "0xc792ea"
    cyan: "0x89ddff"
    white: "0xd0d0d0"
  # Bright colors
  bright:
    black: "0x434758"
    red: "0xff8b92"
    green: "0xddffa7"
    yellow: "0xffe585"
    blue: "0x9cc4ff"
    magenta: "0xe1acff"
    cyan: "0xa3f7ff"
    white: "0xffffff"

Then you can apply it using the name of the file:

jscritty -t custom
