aerc-stylesets(7)
# Name
aerc-stylesets - styleset file specification for *aerc*(1)
# SYNOPSIS
aerc uses a simple configuration syntax to configure the styleset for
its ui.
# Styleset Configuration
Aerc uses a simple configuration file to describe a styleset. The
styleset is described as key, value pairs. In each line, the key
represents the style object it signifies and the color/atrribute of
that is modified.
For example, in the line below, the foreground color of the
style object "msglist_unread" is set to "cornflowerblue"
```
msglist_unread.fg=cornflowerblue
```
The configuration also allows wildcard matching of the style_objects
to configure multiple style objects at a time.
## Style
The following options are available to be modified for each of the
style objects.
*fg*
The foreground color of the style object is set.
Syntax: `<style_object>.fg=<color>`
*bg*
The background color of the style object is set.
Syntax: `<style_object>.bg=<color>`
*bold*
The bold attribute of the style object is set/unset.
Syntax: `<style_object>.bold=<true|false|toggle>`
*blink*
The blink attribute of the style object is set/unset.
_The terminal needs to support blinking text_
Syntax: `<style_object>.bold=<true|false|toggle>`
*underline*
The underline attribute of the style object is set/unset.
_The terminal needs to support underline text_
Syntax: `<style_object>.underline=<true|false|toggle>`
*reverse*
Reverses the color of the style object. Exchanges the foreground
and background colors.
Syntax: `<style_object>.reverse=<true|false|toggle>`
_If the value is false, it doesn't change anything_
*normal*
All the attributes of the style object are unset.
Syntax: `<style_object>.normal=<true>`
_The value doesn't matter_
*default*
Set the style object to the default style of the context. Usually
based on the terminal.
Syntax: `<style_object>.default=<true>`
_The value doesn't matter_

## fnmatch style wildcard matching
The styleset configuration can be made simpler by using the fnmatch
style wildcard matching for the style object.
The special characters used in the fnmatch wildcards are:
[[ *Pattern*
:[ *Meaning*
| \*
: Matches everything
| \?
: Matches any single character
For example, the following wildcards can be made using this syntax.
[[ *Example*
:[ Description
| \*.fg=blue
: Set the foreground color of all style objects to blue.
| \*list.bg=hotpink
: Set the background color of all style objects that end in list
to hotpink.
## Selected modifier
Selected modifier can be applied to any style object. The style provided for
the selected modifier are applied on top of the style object it corresponds to.
If you would like to make sure message that are flagged as read in the msglist
appear in yellow foreground and black background. You can specify that with
this:
msglist_default.selected.fg=yellow
msglist_default.selected.bg=black
If we specify the global style selected modifer using fnmatch as below:
\*.selected.reverse=toggle
This toggles the reverse switch for selected version of all the style objects.
## Colors
The color values are set using the values accepted by the tcell library.
The values can be one of the following.
*default*
The color is set as per the system or terminal default.
*<Color name>*
Any w3c approved color name is used to set colors for the style.
*<Hex code>*
Hexcode for a color can be used. The format must be "\#XXXXXX"
