If you spend a lot of time in the terminal, having a visually appealing color scheme can make a big difference. Whether you're coding, monitoring system logs, or just navigating files, the right colors help reduce eye strain and improve focus.
Instead of manually tweaking colors or importing theme files, why not use a tool that does it all for you? Meet Gogh – a simple script that lets you install hundreds of beautiful color schemes for your favorite terminal emulator with just one command.

How to Install Gogh
Installing Gogh is quite straightforward. Just open your terminal and run the following commands:

How to Use Gogh
After running the install script, just follow the prompts. You can scroll through the available themes and select one by entering its number. The theme will be installed and applied automatically to your current terminal profile.
If you want to apply a different theme later, just run the script again.
How to Uninstall
Gogh doesn’t create a standalone application or leave heavy traces in your system. If you want to remove a color scheme, you can simply delete the corresponding terminal profile through your terminal’s settings menu.
Gogh and Conky
