Themes and views
Make moh look the way you like: eighteen built-in colour themes a keypress apart, a studio to make your own, and two views of every conversation.
Built-in themes
Press ctrl+t to cycle through the themes — the change is immediate — or type
/theme for the picker, which shows them in two columns and marks built-ins with
[s] and your own with [u].
| Family | Themes |
|---|---|
| Classic | Tokyo Night (the default), Catppuccin Mocha, Gruvbox · Material |
| Retro screens | Green Phosphor, Amber Phosphor (P3), Commodore 64, Amiga Workbench 1.3 |
| Bold | Neon Noir, Lava, Candy Pop, Vaporwave '89, Pop Art |
| Cinematic | Iron Man, Star Wars, TRON, Blade Runner |
| Light | Daylight, Daylight Frost |
Make your own: the theme studio
Open the settings (ctrl+s) → My themes…. The studio starts from an existing theme and repaints everything live as you go.
- Shape the mood with five sliders: hue, brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth.
- Fine-tune single elements — such as the success and warning colours — by picking colour families by name (amber, teal, violet…). No colour codes anywhere.
- Name and save with n. Nothing is saved before that; saving also applies it.
Your theme is stored as a small file in ~/.moh/themes/: colours on top of a
built-in theme, no code. If a theme file is ever broken, moh falls back to Tokyo Night and
tells you why; colours that would be hard to read get a gentle contrast warning.
Vibe and dev views
ctrl+o (or /mode) switches between two ways of showing the same
conversation. Vibe uses plain language — "edited a file", "ran a command" —
and keeps numbers out of the way. Dev shows the exact commands, paths,
token counts and turn numbers. The bottom bar shows ○ vibe or
◉ dev.
More to adjust
| Key | What it changes |
|---|---|
| ctrl+d | Show or hide the details of each action. |
/thinking | Whether to show the AI's reasoning, where the model provides it, and how hard it thinks. |
| ctrl+s | Settings: image previews, answer language, update check and more. |
Small screens
On a narrow terminal the bottom bar shortens itself step by step instead of wrapping — the most important bits (the caution level and the view) always stay.
Written for moh 0.61. Inside moh, ctrl+h opens the built-in manual for your exact version.
