How to Configure rmpc and Find Themes

rmpc is configured through its own configuration file, and the project documentation splits this into two resources: a Configure page for how configuration works, and a Reference page for looking up individual options. Themes are handled separately — the site offers both predefined and user-submitted themes you can browse and apply. Start with the Configure page to set up your file, then use Reference whenever you need to check a specific option, and Themes when you want to change the look.

Configuring rmpc

The documentation's "Configure" section is the entry point for adjusting rmpc to your preferences. It covers how to configure rmpc "just how you like it," which is the intended workflow for changing both interface and behavior.

A practical order of operations:

1. Read the Configure page first to understand where the configuration lives and how it is structured.
2. Make your changes to that configuration.
3. When you need a specific option, switch to the Reference section rather than guessing.

Using the Reference for specific options

The site describes Reference as the place to go when you are "looking for a specific configuration option." That makes it the lookup layer: Configure explains the mechanism, Reference answers "what is the exact name/value for this setting."

If a setting you expect isn't behaving, check Reference before assuming the feature doesn't exist — the option may simply be named differently than you guessed.

Finding and applying themes

Themes are a distinct part of rmpc's customization. The documentation's Themes section lets you browse:

• Predefined themes — ready-made options supplied with the project.
• User-submitted themes — themes contributed by other users.

Because both categories are listed together, you can compare them in one place and pick whichever matches your terminal setup and taste.

A note on version matching

The documentation page states it is for the development version of rmpc and warns: "Make sure your version matches the selected documentation." This matters for configuration and themes specifically, because option names and theme formats can differ between the development version and a released version.

Before following any configuration or theme instructions, confirm which version you are running and that you are reading the matching docs. If an option from Reference doesn't work, a version mismatch is a likely cause.
