I looked thru the available themes on https://asciinema.org/ , and all they don't fit well with my cute recording: https://asciinema.org/a/WYXVGl1gUrPOEeQbN1FaPR4ja . Even the "Thumbnail frame" shows all the drama: what should be the non-light (thus, dark) blue color is actually some desaturated mix, for example, in Monokai, it's actually a shade of cyan. Thus, cyan on cyan looks pretty bleak (and in other themes, it's even worse).

I don't want to whine about "me! me! please add theme just for me!". Instead, could we please have ability to use a custom theme? For standalone player, it can be done via CSS, but that doesn't always scale. So, could we:

  1. On "Asciicast properties" page, have a textbox titled like "color overrides", which would allow to patch some colors of a selected theme. (Yes, I guess that's the best way - to allow to override just selected colors and use one of the theme as a baseline, most people will want to patch just 1-2 colors).
  2. I imagine the above might take some time to develop/deploy, so as a quicker option, can a asciinema.org hosted player accept some URL params to specify such overrides?

Thanks in advance for considering it!

Oh, about me-stuff. I'd expect my screencast to look like this. Nice, saturated, spiritful blue color ;-)
