# Skin configuration
You can change all colors by adding a `[skin]` section in your `conf.toml` file.
To start with, you might want broot to use more of your terminal colors.
## Use terminal's default foreground and background
Try adding this in your [config file](../conf_file):
```Hjson
skin: {
default: "none none"
...
```
```toml
[skin]
default = "none none"
...
```
The first `none` sets the terminal default foreground color as broot's default one, and the second one is for the background.
Depending on your default colors, the result might be good or not.
From there, keeping or not the default colors, you may define a whole skin.
## A whole skin
For example:
```Hjson
skin: {
default: gray(23) none / gray(20) none
tree: ansi(94) None / gray(3) None
file: gray(20) None / gray(15) None
directory: ansi(208) None Bold / ansi(172) None bold

```
This would look like this:
Each skin entry value is made of
* a foreground color
* a background color (or `none`)
* zero, one, or more *attributes*
These tree parts can be repeated, after a `/`, to define the style to use in non focused panels (when more than one panel is used).
Example:
```hjson
directory: "ansi(208) None Bold / ansi(172) None"
```
```toml
directory = "ansi(208) None Bold / ansi(172) None"
```
## Color
A color in a skin or in the [ext_colors](../conf_file/#colors-by-file-extension) section can be:
* `none`
* an [Ansi value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#8-bit), for example `ansi(160)`
* a grayscale value, with a level between 0 and 23, for example `grey(3)`
* a RGB color, for example `rgb(255, 187, 0)`
Beware that many terminals aren't compatible with RGB 24 bits colors (or aren't usually configured for).
## Style attributes
Currently supported attributes are:
* bold
* crossedout
* italic
* overlined
* reverse
* underlined
Note that some of them may be ignored by your terminal especially if you're not on a Unix system.
The mapping between keys and screen parts may not always be obvious. Don't hesitate to come ask for help on [Miaou](https://miaou.dystroy.org/3490?broot).
## Transparent background
If you want to set the background of broot transparent (i.e. to be the background of your terminal), you can set the default style like this:
```hjson
default: "gray(23) none / gray(20) none"
```
```toml
default = "gray(23) none / gray(20) none"
```
# White Background Skin
This skin has a transparent main background and dark foreground colors.
It is suitable if your terminal has a clear background.
```Hjson
skin: {
default: gray(1) None
tree: gray(7) None / gray(18) None
parent: gray(5) None / gray(10) None
