Reds for danger and greens for safety are intentionally absent — heat / load is signalled by saturation drifting from blue toward pink, not by a third hue.

Install

One-liner:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/miniex/btop-theme-damin/main/install.sh)"

The installer copies damin.theme into ~/.config/btop/themes/ and, if you confirm, sets color_theme = "damin" in ~/.config/btop/btop.conf. Survives curl | sh — no prompt on stdin loss.

Manual:

mkdir -p ~/.config/btop/themes
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/miniex/btop-theme-damin/main/damin.theme \
  -o ~/.config/btop/themes/damin.theme

Then pick damin under btop's Esc → Options → color_theme, or set color_theme = "damin" in ~/.config/btop/btop.conf directly. btop reads the config at startup — restart it (or pick from the menu live) to see the change.

Highlights

• Load / heat gradients — cpu, temp, download, upload, process all run blue → mauve → pink. Higher reads warmer.
• Used / occupied lives in the pink family (#A3677D → #F5B2C8) — keeps "occupied" visually distinct from "loaded".
• Free / cached / available stay in the blue family — abundance reads as calm.
• Box outlines uniformly blue; pink reserved for titles and the selected row. Same convention as the tmux pane borders.
• Process state — pause dims to div_line, follow tints blue, banner mauve, followed row pink (same as selected).
• No reds, no greens — danger and safety are signalled by hue drift, not a third hue.
