Colorschemes

gotop ships with a few colorschemes which can be set with the -c flag followed by the name of one. You can find all the colorschemes in the colorschemes folder.

To make a custom colorscheme, check out the template for instructions and then use default.json as a starter. Then put the file at ~/.config/gotop/<name>.json and load it with gotop -c <name>. Colorschemes PR's are welcome!

CLI Options

-c, --color=NAME Set a colorscheme.
-m, --minimal Only show CPU, Mem and Process widgets.
