.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Data::Printer colorizes your output by default. Originally, the only way to
customize colors was to override the default ones. Data::Printer 1.0 introduced
themes, and now you can pick a theme or create your own.
.PP
Data::Printer comes with several themes for you to choose from:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Material \fI(the default)\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
Monokai
.IP "\(bu" 4
Solarized
.IP "\(bu" 4
Classic \fI(original pre\-1.0 colors)\fR
.PP
Run \f(CW\*(C`examples/try_me.pl\*(C'\fR to see them in action on your own terminal!
.SH "CREATING YOUR THEMES"
.IX Header "CREATING YOUR THEMES"
A theme is a module in the \f(CW\*(C`Data::Printer::Theme\*(C'\fR namespace. It doesn't have
to inherit or load any module. All you have to do is implement a single
function, \f(CW\*(C`colors\*(C'\fR, that returns a hash reference where keys are the
expected color labels, and values are the colors you want to use.
.PP
Feel free to copy & paste the code from the \s-1SYNOPSIS\s0 and customize at will :)
.SS "Customizing Colors"
.IX Subsection "Customizing Colors"
Setting any color to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR means \fI\*(L"Don't colorize this\*(R"\fR.
Otherwise, the color is a string which can be one of the following:
.PP
\fINamed colors, Term::ANSIColor style (discouraged)\fR
.IX Subsection "Named colors, Term::ANSIColor style (discouraged)"
.PP
Only 8 named colors are supported:
.PP
black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white
.PP
and their \f(CW\*(C`bright_XXX\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`on_XXX\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`on_bright_XXX\*(C'\fR variants.
.PP
Those are provided only as backards compatibility with older versions
of Data::Printer and, because of their limitation, we encourage you
to try and use one of the other representations.
.PP
\fI\s-1SGR\s0 Escape code (Terminal style)\fR
.IX Subsection "SGR Escape code (Terminal style)"
.PP
You may provide any \s-1SGR\s0 escape sequence, and they will be honored
as long as you use double quotes (e.g. \f(CW"\ee[38;5;196m"\fR). You may
use this to achieve extra control like blinking, etc. Note, however,
that some terminals may not support them.
.PP
\fIAn \s-1RGB\s0 value in one of those formats (Recommended)\fR
.IX Subsection "An RGB value in one of those formats (Recommended)"

\&\fB\s-1NOTE:\s0\fR There may not be a real 1:1 conversion between \s-1RGB\s0 and
terminal colors. In those cases we use approximation to achieve the
closest option.
