Alfred in Technicolour: Your best colour themes

Since we launched the colour theming for Alfred, you’ve been creating a wide variety of beautiful, interesting and, in some cases, downright bizarre colour themes. It was tricky, but we picked a few of our favourite themes that you’ve submitted or shared.

To install: You need the Powerpack to use custom themes. Click on any of the themes’ screenshots to install them on your Mac.

    Oh yes! :)

    BTW Those LA Lakers colours make me really sick… Blah…

  2. This is my theme. It’s translucent white and I love it. It looks really good over a busy background where its subtle opacity shines through well.

  3. Minimalism is paramount in my designs, and so I wanted it to be in my theme. I went as white as I could with everything while maintaining quick-scan readability, and used color to “blank out” elements I thought unnecessary (e.g. the selected result shortcut, the subtext for all but the highlighted item).

  4. My favorite at right now is one of my own: ‘Simply Paper High Contrast (Purple)’.

  5. So I’ve gotten a little addicted to the colors in Grooveshark so I’ve changed my text editor, terminal, Xcode, Alfred and other color schemes to match Grooveshark.

    Anybody know if there is a way to style the color of the selected text of the search query?
    I.E. if you reopen alfred and there’s text from the previous search in the query field, that text is selected so you can start typing a new query instantly. And that’s a good thing, but…
    In my case the selected text’s background turns out to be lightblue, and that fit pretty bad with orange and green…

    • In System Prefs, Appearance on your Mac, you can change the highlight colour. This will change it across the whole of your Mac though so choose a highlight colour that works for Alfred and the rest :)

      Enjoy!
