Managarr Themes
The Managarr TUI can be customized to look how you like with various themes.
There are a few themes included by default with Managarr and are added to your themes.yml
on first startup. You can simply add more custom themes as you wish to this file.

Built-In Themes
Managarr ships with a handful of built-in themes that you can either use or base your own custom theme off of. The following themes are included by default:
Default
Dracula
Eldritch
Watermelon Dark
Creating a Custom Theme
To create a custom theme, you will need to add a new entry to the themes.yml file. If you decide not to add it to the
themes.yml file, you can also specify a different file to load themes from using the --themes-file argument.
Themes are customizable using hex color codes for the various elements of the TUI. The following is an example that shows every available customization option for a custom theme:
- name: my-theme
theme:
background:
# Disable for transparent backgrounds
enabled: true
# Color of the full system background
color: "#233237"
awaiting_import:
# Color for items awaiting import
color: "#FFAA42"
indeterminate:
# Color for when item status is unknown
color: "#FFAA42"
default:
# Default color for text and uncolored elements
color: "#FFFFFF"
downloaded:
# Color for downloaded items (when monitored)
color: "#00FF00"
downloading:
# Color for items currently downloading
color: "#762671"
failure:
# Color for errors, no seeders, disabled indexers,
# failed indexer test results, etc.
color: "#DE382B"
help:
# Color for help text like hotkeys and tooltips
color: "#00FFFF"
missing:
# Color for missing items
color: "#DE382B"
primary:
# Primary color for table/list items (without custom coloring),
# selected UI elements (e.g. table/list items, current tab, etc.),
# gauge bars, etc.
color: "#2CB5E9"
secondary:
# Color for selected tabs, Warn log events, Paragraph headers (e.g. "Name: "),
# and uncolored Message box contents
color: "#FFC706"
success:
# Color for downloaded and imported and available items,
# good peer styling (more seeders than leechers),
# passing indexer test results, and enabled indexers
color: "#39B54A"
system_function:
# Color for system functions like selected UI elements (e.g. checkboxes, yes/no prompts),
# or loading spinner
color: "#FFC706"
unmonitored:
# Color for unmonitored items
color: "#808080"
unmonitored_missing:
# Color for unmonitored items that are also missing
color: "#FFC706"
unreleased:
# Color for unreleased items
color: "#00FFFF"
warning:
# Color for fewer seeders than leechers
color: "#FF00FF"
Note: Bear in mind that while some colors may currently affect few UI elements, Managarr is still being built and thus these colors may affect more elements in the future.
In order to activate your custom theme, you can either update your config.yml:
theme: my-theme
radarr:
...
sonarr:
...
Or you can test out your theme via the --theme flag on the CLI:
managarr --theme my-theme
If you're developing your own theme and don't want to add it to the main themes.yml file, you can
also use the --themes-file argument to specify a different file to load themes from:
managarr --themes-file /path/to/my/testing-themes.yml
