## Configuration & Theming
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The config file can be found at *$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mirage/settings.json*, 
 | 
			
		||||
or *~/.config/mirage/settings.json*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For Flatpak users, this will be
 | 
			
		||||
*~/.var/app/io.github.mirukana.mirage/config/mirage* instead.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The config folder where *accounts.json* and  *settings.json* is located can be
 | 
			
		||||
overriden by setting the `MIRAGE_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable.  
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The user data folder where *themes*, encryption data and interface states
 | 
			
		||||
are saved can be overriden with `MIRAGE_DATA_DIR`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The cache folder where downloaded files and thumbnails are saved can be
 | 
			
		||||
overriden with `MIRAGE_CACHE_DIR`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The `theme` setting can be:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- The filename of a built-in theme (`Midnight.qpl` or `Glass.qpl`)
 | 
			
		||||
- The filename of a custom theme at 
 | 
			
		||||
  *$XDG_DATA_HOME/mirage/themes*, *~/.local/share/mirage/themes*,
 | 
			
		||||
  or *~/.var/app/io.github.mirukana.mirage/data/mirage/themes* (Flatpak)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A default theme from this repository can be copied to use as a base and edit,
 | 
			
		||||
for example:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
    cp mirage/src/themes/Midnight.qpl \
 | 
			
		||||
       "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/mirage/themes/MyTheme.qpl"
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Or for Flatpak users:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
    cp mirage/src/themes/Midnight.qpl \
 | 
			
		||||
       ~/.var/app/io.github.mirukana.mirage/data/mirage/themes/MyTheme.qpl
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The config setting `theme` would need to be set to `MyTheme.qpl` in this case.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Theme files are nested-by-indentations sections of properties and values.  
 | 
			
		||||
Properties are declared as `<type> <name>: <value>`.  
 | 
			
		||||
Values can be any JavaScript (ECMAScript 7) expressions.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Most of the properties are of type `color`.
 | 
			
		||||
Their values, if not just refering to another property,
 | 
			
		||||
can be expressed with a:
 | 
			
		||||
- [SVG/CSS color name](https://www.december.com/html/spec/colorsvg.html)
 | 
			
		||||
  string, e.g. `"blue"`
 | 
			
		||||
- Hexadecimal code string, e.g. `"#fff"` or `"#cc0000"`
 | 
			
		||||
- RGBA value, using the `Qt.rgba(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
 | 
			
		||||
- HSLA value, using the `Qt.hsla(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
 | 
			
		||||
- HSVA value, using the `Qt.hsva(0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1)` function
 | 
			
		||||
- [HSLUV](https://www.hsluv.org/) value, using the
 | 
			
		||||
  `hsluv(0-360, 0-100, 0-100, 0-1)` function. This is the prefered method 
 | 
			
		||||
  used throughout the default theme files
 | 
			
		||||
  (why? see [this](https://www.hsluv.org/comparison/#rainbow-hsluv) and
 | 
			
		||||
  [that](https://www.boronine.com/2012/03/26/Color-Spaces-for-Human-Beings/#hsl-is-a-lemon))
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you just want to change the background picture,
 | 
			
		||||
or use a gradient/simple color instead, search for the `ui:` section in your
 | 
			
		||||
text editor.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
With `Alt+Shift+R` by default, the config and theme can be reloaded without 
 | 
			
		||||
restarting the app.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Warnings**: 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- API currently unstable: theme properties are often renamed, added or deleted.
 | 
			
		||||
- The file format for both config and themes will soon change
 | 
			
		||||
- The current file format forces all theme to have all properties
 | 
			
		||||
  defined, instead of being able to only specify the ones to override from the
 | 
			
		||||
  default theme.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
GUI settings will also be implemented in the future.
