Kitty is a fast, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator. Rig configures it with a minimal warm dark theme and keyboard-driven tab navigation.

​
Theme

The color scheme is loaded from a separate ghosty.conf file — a warm, muted dark palette:

Background#1c1b1a
Foreground#c8c2b8

The palette uses warm desaturated tones — rose, sage green, gold, steel blue, lavender, and teal.
