Implements Google's Material Design color palette and principles, providing a modern, visually consistent look for the terminal, as highlighted in the project description and key features.
Uses strong contrast and strategic color accents to emphasize critical shell output, enhancing readability and reducing eye strain, which is a core focus mentioned in the README.
Includes Dark, Light, and Oceanic color themes to suit different preferences and environments, shown in the screenshots and supported through separate installation steps.
Works with popular zsh frameworks like Oh My Zsh, antigen, and others, and supports various terminal emulators, ensuring broad usability as detailed in the install section.
Designed specifically for zsh and compatible frameworks; it does not natively support other shells like bash or fish, requiring manual adaptation for broader use.
For many terminal emulators, such as iTerm or Hyper, users must follow separate, sometimes complex instructions to apply color themes, adding steps to the setup process beyond the core theme installation.
The theme provides fixed color schemes and variants with no built-in tools for easy customization; users need to edit the theme file directly for changes, which can be error-prone.
