Questions or issues

Please head to https://github.com/hackjutsu/Lepton for any issues or feature requests. We don't track conversation in this thread.

Home directory on Windows

The home directory varies on different Windows distributions, but most of the time you can begin with the following path.

C:\Users\<CurrentUserName>\.leptonrc

Home directory for Linux snap package

Experiment shows that app.getPath('home') used by Lepton to find .leptonrc doesn't point to ~, it points to

~/snap/lepton/current

We can update this options according to https://github.com/hackjutsu/Lepton/blob/d5042ee1a876516a76a9f615fcbbbeed4d754952/configs/defaultConfig.js#L3 :)

Changing Lepton to Dark Theme and TabSize 2 for Linux Snap Package

N/B: Do not use administrative rights (sudo) for any command that you would run

1. Create a file named .leptonrc on your Desktop

2. Put the code below into it

{
    "theme": "dark",
    "snippet": {
        "expanded": true,
        "newSnippetPrivate": false,
        "sorting": "updated_at", 
        "sortingReverse": true
    },
    "editor" : {
        "tabSize": 2
    },
    "userPanel": {
        "hideProfilePhoto": false
    },
    "logger": {
        "level": "debug"
    },
    "proxy": {
        "enable": false,
        "address": "socks://localhost:1080"
    },
    "enterprise": {
        "enable": false,
        "host": "github_enterprise_host",
        "token": "token_with_gist_enabled",
        "avatarUrl": "optional_avatar_url"
    }
}

3. Save and exit your text editor.

4. Copy the .leptonrc file to ~/snap/lepton/9 directory by running the command below, which will create a symbolic link in the ~/snap/lepton/current directory.

    mv .leptonrc ~/snap/lepton/9/.leptonrc

5. Restart your Lepton application.

That's all.

I hope this helps.

can you give an example to how put keyShortcutForSearch const?

{
"theme": "dark",`
"snippet": {
"expanded": true,
"newSnippetPrivate": false,
"sorting": "updated_at",
"sortingReverse": true
},
"editor" : {
"tabSize": 2
},
"userPanel": {
"hideProfilePhoto": false
},
"logger": {
"level": "debug"

},
"enterprise": {
"enable": false,
"host": "github_enterprise_host",
"token": "token_with_gist_enabled",
"avatarUrl": "optional_avatar_url"
}
}

The backtick on line 2 is inhibiting this theme from properly rendering.

Dark mode wasn't working for me on Ubuntu 18.04 snap installation. Moving .leptonrc from home to ~/snap/lepton/9/.leptonrc fixed it. Thanks @promisepreston

Is it not possible to change the font being used in the app? Would be nice to change the "body" font and the "code" font separately.
