Used themes are defined in :ref:`local_themes key +<config-ext-local_themes>`. + +Vim local themes +================ + +Vim is the only available extension that has a wide variaty of options for local +themes. It is the only extension where local theme key refers to a function as +described in :ref:`local_themes value documentation <config-ext-local_themes>`. + +This function always takes a single value named ``matcher_info`` which is the +same dictionary as :ref:`segment_info dictionary <dev-segment_info-vim>`. Unlike +segments it takes this single argument as a *positional* argument, not as +a keyword one. + +Matcher function should return a boolean value: ``True`` if theme applies for +the given ``matcher_info`` dictionary or ``False`` if it is not. When one of the +matcher functions returns ``True`` powerline takes the corresponding theme at +uses it for the given window. Matchers are not tested in any particular order. + +In addition to :ref:`local_themes configuration key <config-ext-local_themes>` +developer of some plugin which wishes to support powerline without including his +code in powerline tree may use +:py:meth:`powerline.vim.VimPowerline.add_local_theme` method. It accepts two +arguments: matcher name (same as in :ref:`local_themes +<config-ext-local_themes>`) and dictionary with theme. This dictionary is merged +with :ref:`top theme <config-ext-top_theme>` and +:file:`powerline/themes/vim/__main__.json`. Note that if user already specified +the matcher in his configuration file ``KeyError`` is raised. + +Other local themes +================== + +Except for Vim only IPython and shells have local themes. Unlike Vim these +themes are names with no special meaning (they do not refer to or cause loading +of any Python functions): + ++---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +|Extension|Theme name |Description | ++---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +|Shell |continuation|Shown for unfinished command (unclosed quote, | +| | |unfinished cycle). | +| +------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +| |select |Shown for ``select`` command available in some shells. | ++---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +|IPython |in2 |Continuation prompt: shown for unfinished (multiline) | +| | |expression, unfinished class or function definition. | +| +------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +| |out |Displayed before the result. | +| +------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ +| |rewrite |Displayed before the actually executed code when | +| | |``autorewrite`` IPython feature is enabled. | ++---------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------+ |
