114 Termux themes with live preview: find yours in one click

Changing themes in Termux is currently painful: long press on the background, “Style” menu, and a long list of names… with zero preview. You have to apply each theme blindly to see what it looks like.

We solved this problem. Here’s an interactive previewer for all 114 themes from the official Termux

repository.
