--theme¶

The --theme flag controls the color theme for the tree output in the terminal.
It affects folder/file colors and makes the output easier to read.

Usage¶

# Apply a theme
show-file-tree  --theme monokai

Available Themes¶

Theme	Description
`colorful`	Default. Bright, colorful icons and folders.
`monokai`	Dark theme inspired by Monokai editor colors.
`light`	Light theme suitable for light terminal backgrounds.
`nocolor`	Plain ASCII output without colors (useful for CI or minimal terminals).

Example¶

Default (colorful)¶

├── 📁 docs
│   └── 📝 readme.md
├── 📁 src
│   └── 🐍 main.py
└── 📖 LICENSE

Monokai theme¶

# Same tree, but colored for Monokai theme

No color¶

├── docs
│   └── readme.md
├── src
│   └── main.py

Tips¶

Combine --theme with --size or --count for a full-featured, colorful tree.
Use nocolor for plain outputs suitable for Markdown export or CI pipelines:

show-file-tree  --theme nocolor --size --count
