Themes

Console Themes

Sliver’s interactive consoles (both sliver-client and the server-only console) use a theme file to drive all lipgloss styling.

• Theme path: ~/.sliver-client/theme.yaml
• Settings path: ~/.sliver-client/tui-settings.yaml

If theme.yaml is missing, Sliver will create it with the default palette.

Palette Structure

theme.yaml defines six palettes:

• primary
• secondary
• default
• success
• warning
• danger

Each palette has a base default color and a set of modifier colors (50..900):

primary:
  default: "#006FEE"
  mods:
    50:  "#001731"
    100: "#002e62"
    200: "#004493"
    300: "#005bc4"
    400: "#006FEE"
    500: "#338ef7"
    600: "#66aaf9"
    700: "#99c7fb"
    800: "#cce3fd"
    900: "#e6f1fe"

Prompt Settings

The console prompt is configurable via tui-settings.yaml:

prompt: "host"
prompt_template: |
  {{- if .IsServer -}}
  {{ .Styles.Bold.Render "[server]" }} {{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >
  {{- else -}}
  {{- if .Host -}}{{ .Styles.BoldPrimary.Render (printf "[%s]" .Host) }} {{- end -}}
  {{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >
  {{- end -}}

prompt Modes

• operator-host
• sliver-client: [operator@host] sliver >
• server console: [server] sliver >
• host
• sliver-client: [host] sliver >
• server console: [server] sliver >
• basic
• both: sliver >
• custom
• the entire prompt text is rendered from prompt_template (Go text/template)
• if rendering fails, Sliver falls back to a minimal prompt: >

Custom Prompt Templates

When prompt: custom, Sliver evaluates prompt_template as a Go text/template every time the prompt is displayed.

Template Variables

Top-level values:

• .IsServer (bool)
• .Connected (bool)
• .Operator (string)
• .Host (string)
• .Port (int)
• .HostPort (string, host:port when available)
• .Now (time)

Active target:

• .Target.SessionName (string)
• .Target.BeaconName (string)
• .Target.Suffix (string)
• pre-rendered themed suffix matching the default prompt, like (my-session) when a session or beacon is selected

Theme colors:

• .Colors.Primary.Default
• .Colors.Primary.Mods (map; use index, e.g. index .Colors.Primary.Mods 500)
• same structure for .Colors.Secondary, .Colors.Default, .Colors.Success, .Colors.Warning, .Colors.Danger

Theme styles (lipgloss styles already wired to theme.yaml):

• .Styles.Bold, .Styles.Underline
• .Styles.Primary, .Styles.Secondary, .Styles.Default, .Styles.Success, .Styles.Warning, .Styles.Danger
• .Styles.BoldPrimary, .Styles.BoldSecondary, .Styles.BoldDefault, .Styles.BoldSuccess, .Styles.BoldWarning, .Styles.BoldDanger
• legacy names: .Styles.Red, .Styles.Green, .Styles.Orange, .Styles.Blue, .Styles.Purple, .Styles.Cyan, .Styles.Gray, .Styles.Black

Examples

Show user and host (client), show server tag (server console):

{{- if .IsServer -}}
{{ .Styles.Bold.Render "[server]" }} {{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >
{{- else -}}
{{- if and .Operator .Host -}}
{{ .Styles.BoldPrimary.Render (printf "[%s@%s]" .Operator .Host) }} 
{{- else if .Host -}}
{{ .Styles.BoldPrimary.Render (printf "[%s]" .Host) }} 
{{- end -}}
{{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >
{{- end -}}

Basic prompt everywhere:

{{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >

Use a lighter primary modifier for the host tag:

{{- $c := index .Colors.Primary.Mods 500 -}}
{{- if .Host -}}{{ (.Styles.Bold.Foreground $c).Render (printf "[%s]" .Host) }} {{- end -}}
{{ .Styles.Underline.Render "sliver" }}{{ .Target.Suffix }} >
