themes.toml

# themes.toml — caption looks. Add a new [section] to make a new theme; you only
# need to set what differs from the defaults. Use it with:  caption clip.webm --theme NAME
#
# Keys you can set:
#   font            font family name (must be installed, e.g. fc-list | grep -i montserrat)
#   font_size       integer, sized for a 1080-wide frame
#   base_colour     "#RRGGBB"  normal text
#   accent_colour   "#RRGGBB"  the active / highlighted word
#   outline         "#RRGGBB"  outline colour
#   outline_width   integer px
#   shadow          integer px (0 = none)
#   position        "bottom" | "centre" | "top"
#   margin_v        integer px from that edge (omit to use the position's sensible default)
#   words_per_line  integer (1 = one word at a time)
#   animation       "pop"  (word appears/recolours) | "sweep" (colour fills across the word)
#   pop_scale       float size bump on the active word, pop only (1.0 = no bump)
#   bold            true | false

# The canonical look: white text, yellow active word, lower third.
