Theme in Windows

[YagoMaia]

I would be very grateful if you could put the themes on windowns. I tried a few ways, but it didn't work.

Just add EZA_CONFIG_DIR environment var and put theme.yml in

I use powershell, and in my case I add into $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts file

$env:EZA_CONFIG_DIR = "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza"

Also I replaced ls built-in alias with this code

Remove-Item Alias:ls -Force; New-Alias ls eza

i'm a beginner i don't know lot about powershell can you show me step by step to add that config file at least with pictures.

[BanHammerYKT]

1. firstly open powershell, the commands below paste to them
2. create directory %userprofile%\.config\eza with this command:
   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza" -Force
3. open explorer in created directory with this command:
   Start-Process explorer.exe "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza"
4. download preferred theme yaml-file into created directory & rename to theme.yml
5. open powershell config file with this command:
   notepad $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
6. paste code below into opened config-file (warn, any code in this file execute on every powershell start)

# set eza config directory
$env:EZA_CONFIG_DIR = "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza"

# optional
# replace `ls` built-in alias with eza
Remove-Item Alias:ls -Force; New-Alias ls eza

8. restart powershell
9. profit!!!

Hi,

I followed your guide but:

 salva@Glamdring    ll
ll : The term 'll' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ ll
+ ~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (ll:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Anyidea?
BTW my eza directory is

C:\Users\salva\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\eza-community.eza_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe

1. firstly open powershell, the commands below paste to them
2. create directory %userprofile%\.config\eza with this command:
   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza" -Force
3. open explorer in created directory with this command:
   Start-Process explorer.exe "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza"
4. download preferred theme yaml-file into created directory & rename to theme.yml
5. open powershell config file with this command:
   notepad $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
6. paste code below into opened config-file (warn, any code in this file execute on every powershell start)

# set eza config directory
$env:EZA_CONFIG_DIR = "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza"

# optional
# replace `ls` built-in alias with eza
Remove-Item Alias:ls -Force; New-Alias ls eza

Since this is more a question than an issue, I converted this to a discussion. ... But maybe we could also add some documentation for Windows in the Installation section of the README. @BanHammerYKT since you wrote the guide here, do you wanna create a PR for that?

[gierens]

I added a note to the installation section in the readme for powershell, hope this helps others trying to get this to work on Windows.

Just a note for those who may have trouble as I am as of 0.20.18, putting your theme.yml to ~\AppData\Roaming\eza should work too.

Windows doesn't follow the XDG_CONFIG_HOME convention, which means ~\.config\eza isn't the default location for eza's config files, but ~\AppData\Roaming\eza. That's why you need $env:EZA_CONFIG_DIR = "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\eza" to override the default config file resolution if you put your theme.yml there.
