Using Themes

Use themes to customize Bike's colors, materials, and typography. Themes are easy to switch and easy to share. You can quickly switch themes in Bike's "Appearance" settings panel, and you can hand a theme file to another user.

One thing I like here: you can set a separate theme for light mode and for dark mode, so Bike can look one way during the day and another at night. You'll find themes other people have made on Bike's extension wiki.

To choose a theme:

  1. Open Bike > Settings > Appearance
  2. There choose your preferred theme for light mode and dark mode.

To install a theme:

  1. Choose Bike > Settings > Appearance
  2. Click the "Open Themes Folder…" button
  3. Drag or modify any top level .bktheme file in that folder
  4. New themes should immediately appear in the popup menus in the Appearance settings panel.
  5. If it doesn't appear in popup, there may be a syntax error in the theme. Use Bike > Logs Explorer to see problem.
