`wezterm.gui.get_appearance()`

Since: 20220807-113146-c2fee766

This function returns the appearance of the window environment. The appearance can be one of the following 4 values:

"Light" - the normal appearance, with dark text on a light background
"Dark" - "dark mode", with predominantly dark colors and probably a lighter, lower contrasting, text color on a dark background
"LightHighContrast" - light mode but with high contrast colors (not reported on all systems)
"DarkHighContrast" - dark mode but with high contrast colors (not reported on all systems)

wezterm is able to detect when the appearance has changed and will reload the configuration when that happens.

This example configuration shows how you can have your color scheme automatically adjust to the current appearance:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

function scheme_for_appearance(appearance)
  if appearance:find 'Dark' then
    return 'Builtin Solarized Dark'
  else
    return 'Builtin Solarized Light'
  end
end

return {
  color_scheme = scheme_for_appearance(wezterm.gui.get_appearance()),
}

wezterm uses XDG Desktop Portal to determine the appearance in a desktop-environment independent way.
