## Creating Themes
You can create themes for all available editors and terminal emulators using a
single JSON file to define the colors. The file should be an array (even for
one theme), with the following structure:
```json
[
{
"theme_name_full": "Moonside",
"theme_name_safe": "moonside",
"color_bg_main": "#000000",
"color_bg_alt1": "#080808",
"color_bg_alt2": "#131313",
"color_fg": "#ffffff",
"color_linenr": "#9e5dc8",
"color_select": "#5a1359",
"color_type": "#f6f929",
"color_accent": "#fd35fa",
"color_string": "#ff6693",
"color_boolean": "#fd9935",
"color_variable": "#c67ff4",
"color_number": "#aaef64",
"color_comment": "#7ca454",
"color_function": "#5e9aff"
},
{
...
}
]
```
