Theming

Colors can be modified through modification of the config.json file. Colors are using terminal escape sequences

"theme":
    {
        "background" :"1",
        "inverted" : "[48;5;21m",
        "highlight" : "[38;5;75m[48;5;0m",
        "error" : "[1m[38;5;196m",
        "labelHeader" : "[38;5;15m[48;5;0m",
        "normal" : "[38;5;15m[48;5;0m",
        "bold" : "[1m",
        "gridHeader" : "[48;5;89m[38;5;15m",
        "gridSelected" : "[48;5;33m[38;5;15m"
    },

Grid columns can also be renamed, removed, reordered, and adjusted in length through the same config.json file. A column with a width of 0 will use the available space equally shared between all the 0 width columns.

        {
            "header" : "[Channels]",
            "shortcutHeader" : "Channels",

                { "key": "Active", "header": "A", "width": 2 },
