Config Files

Boot options

One use of a config file is to set boot flags to execute without having to state them when launching the program.

This is set under the [flags] section.
These options are generally the same as the long names as other flags (ex: case_sensitive = true).
Note that if a flag and an option conflict, the flag has higher precedence (ex: if the -c and temperature_type = kelvin both exist, the Celsius temperature type is ultimately chosen).
For temperature type, use temperature_type = "kelvin|k|celsius|c|fahrenheit|f".
For default widgets, use default_widget = "cpu_default|memory_default|disk_default|temperature_default|network_default|process_default".

Another use is to set colours, under the [colors]. The following labels are customizable with hex colour code strings:

Table header colours (table_header_color="#ffffff").
Every CPU core colour as an array (cpu_core_colors=["#ffffff", "#000000", "#111111"]).
- bottom will look at 216 (let's be realistic here) colours at most, and in order.
- If not enough colours are provided for the number of threads on the CPU, then the rest will be automatically generated.
RAM and SWAP colours (ram_color="#ffffff", swap_color="#111111").
RX and TX colours (rx_color="#ffffff", tx_color="#111111").
Widget title colour (widget_title_color="#ffffff").
General widget border colour (border_color="#ffffff").
Current widget border colour (highlighted_border_color="#ffffff").
Text colour (text_color="#ffffff").
Label and graph colour (graph_color="#ffffff").
Cursor colour (cursor_color="#ffffff").
Current selected scroll entry colour (scroll_entry_text_color="#282828", scroll_entry_bg_color="#458588").

Note some colours may not be compatible with the terminal you are using.
