Describe the question

I am unable to get yazi flavors to work on my new install.

Anything else?

I'm new to Yazi and followed the documentation to arrive at these changes in my dotfiles. The yazi.toml config works, but the theme does not work.

Here's what I tried:

1. Installed the flavor
2. Ensured that the yazi.toml is working (it is)
3. Symlink the yazi.config files to ~/.config/yazi (but not the whole folder, since flavors go in there too)
4. Double checked that there is a flavors directory with my flavor in it from step one above
5. Tried different flavors to make sure I wasn't crazy
6. Tried looking for anything in the help to show me what flavor it thought I was using
7. Double checked what I have with this blog post though I don't want to copy in all settings since your docs advise against that

Checklist

• I have read all the documentation
• I have searched the existing discussions/issues

What's meant by "not working"? Could you include a screenshot please?

[mhedgpeth]

I did some more research and realized that Ghostty was managing my background, and that you're not managing the background, and I believe that threw me off. Once I aligned Ghostty everything seems to have worked.

I'll close the issue; thanks for your time! One feature that might be nice is the ability to see what options are configured (or what flavor you're on).
