Research direction
No implementation file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue; first determine whether path resolution belongs in this themes repository or in Warp itself. Done means Warp supports ~/.config/warp-terminal/themes/ or an agreed environment-variable alternative, rather than requiring only ~/.warp/themes/.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Problem
Users expect Warp themes to be stored in ~/.config on macOS because other applications use this folder. Currently, Warp uses ~/.warp instead, which confuses new users.
Current Behavior
- Themes must go in: ~/.warp/themes/
-
- Users look in: ~/.config/warp-terminal/themes/
-
-
- Result: Users cannot find where to put themes
-
Expected Behavior
- Allow users to store themes in ~/.config/warp-terminal/themes/
-
- OR make it configurable with an environment variable
-
-
- OR show a helpful error message when themes are in wrong location
-
Why This Matters
- Users manage dotfiles and expect everything in ~/.config
-
- Makes Warp easier to use for new users
-
-
- Consistent with other modern terminal applications
-
Workaround (for now)
Users can create a symlink:
ln -s ~/.config/warp-terminal ~/.warp
