Synopsis

Theme files

Theme file is a valid YAML file, which has .prytheme extension (for example, beautiful.prytheme). In order to set up the desired theme, add the following line into your .pryrc:

Pry.config.theme = "theme-name"

The default theme is pry-classic (basically, you won't notice it, because it copies the default outlook of Pry, just as you didn't install anything). Let's change it to something more neoteric:

Pry.config.theme = "pry-modern"

That's all! Launch your Pry and you will see the changes.

CLI

Pry Theme has a command-line interface available via Pry. Just launch Pry and start working with it. For example, you can temporary change themes on the fly (only for the current session):

[1] pry(main)> pry-theme pry-classic

This will switch your current theme to pry-classic.

You can find more information about CLI in Pry Theme Wiki.

Creating themes

Creating new themes isn't hard. Check out Pry Theme Wiki article on that.

Adding new themes

Theme files must have .prytheme extension. Check out Pry Theme Collection, if you want to find some themes other than default ones.

  • On GNU/Linux and Mac OS

    Put your theme file in $HOME/.pry/themes directory.

If you don't want to bother with routine operations, you can install a theme from the Collection with help of pry-theme -i <name> command. For example, you can install tomorrow-night theme: pry-theme -i tomorrow-night.

Oh, and don't forget to adjust your .pryrc!

Limitations

Basically, it will run on any terminal that is capable of displaying 256 colors, but with a couple of admonishments. They are listed below.

OS support

  • GNU/Linux;
  • Mac OS.

I hope it runs on Windows too, but I couldn't find any sane terminal, that would support 256 colors. Sorry, Windows guys. Please, file an issue, if you noticed bugs or something.

Ruby implementations support

  • MRI 1.9.3
  • MRI 1.9.2
  • MRI 1.8.7
  • REE 1.8.7-2012.02
  • JRuby 1.6.7
  • Rubinius 1.2.4

Under the hood

Basically, Pry Theme is nothing but a CodeRay color scheme with a human-readable syntax.
