I'm trying to replace the Mac OS Terminal with Warp. With Terminal, I typically run different windows with different themes to visually differentiate the different projects I'm working on. I am trying to figure out how to do something similar in Warp. I can't seem to figure out how to have different themes per window. If I change the theme in one window, it changes it for all others. I thought maybe I could do this with Launch Configurations. I created one and then edited the .yaml file under ~/.warp/launch_configurations. It seemed logical to add a line for 'theme: Snowy' for example under 'window:'. However that has no effect. Is anyone else doing something like this?
#Different Themes for Different Windows?

Hi @pine fjord. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Based on the knowledge sources provided, it appears that the ability to have different themes for different windows or tabs is a feature that has been requested by multiple users in the Warp community. However, there is no indication that this feature has been implemented yet.
In the Github Issue #478 (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/478), a user requested the ability to allow for each tab in the Warp app to have its own theme for quick visual differentiation. Similarly, in Github Issue #3503 (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/3503), another user expressed the desire to apply different themes to different tabs/windows for context clues.
In Github Issue #1251 (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1251), a user wanted to run multiple windows with different themes and preferably have a CLI to change the current window's theme dynamically.
In Github Issue #4561 (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/4561), a user requested the ability to set a theme in Launch Configurations so different windows can have different themes.
In Github Issue #3882 (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/3882), a user wanted to adjust the background color, font size, etc., for each window and save them so that an array of different colored windows appear when they restart.
However, none of these issues indicate that the feature has been implemented. Therefore, it seems that currently, all theming is done across the entire application and it's not possible to have different themes for different windows or tabs in Warp.
For creating a custom theme, you can refer to the Warp documentation (https://docs.warp.dev/appearance/custom-themes#create-your-own-custom-theme-manually) or the Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1195950972011294842) where a community member provided instructions on how to create a custom theme for Warp.
