This leaves your normal bottom.toml untouched. To retain its monitor layout and process settings, merge the downloaded file’s [styles] tables into that config instead. Remove duplicate style tables and do not pass a built-in --color override.

btm --config "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bottom/themes/living-code-signal.toml"

The file contains only [styles] and its child tables. Remove existing duplicates before merging. Do not pass --color when testing the custom palette: a built-in-theme command-line override takes precedence. CPU, temperature and GPU series use a consistent set of Living Code semantic hues. Widget text and selected text use explicit foreground/background pairs.

Targets bottom’s current [styles] format, verified against its complete upstream valid-style fixture. Older releases using different styling keys are not claimed. Truecolor is recommended. Tests parse TOML, check section/field names against the fixture and verify foreground/selection contrast; the native application is also captured automatically.

Previews are captured programmatically from the actual application in an isolated profile. See capture/app.py for the app-owned recipe and images/capture.json for runtime, palette and image provenance. No mock interface is drawn.

Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
