Listing of Far Manager Themes

I noticed under screenshots, only a few of the themes are shown. I've have created images of all the premade color schemes available for FM; 14 themes in all. Being able to view these will save time in selecting the best color schemes for your workflow.

To change FM themes in Windows:

The available color schemes/themes that FM comes with are found in C:\Program Files\Far Manager\Addons\Colors\Interface\

Open FM and go to the command line and type: cd C:\Program Files\Far Manager (or navigate there via the interface)
Next, type: Far.exe /import .\Addons\Colors\Interface\name_of_theme.farconfig
At this point, you can either close and reopen FM, or type: Far.exe (be sure to execute from the Far Manager folder)

The new theme selected above should now be showing.

I would like to upload all these images but only 5 file or 5 mb are allowed. Is there a way I can upload them all at once? In total there are 15 files with a size of 8.2 mb.

In a new version of Far Manager, you do not need to import themes manually, just go to [F9] -> Options -> Colors -> Themes

Thanks Yegor, The Themes menu option must be very new, as it was not in my version, which was recent. I noticed v.3.0.6446 just came out 3/1/2025. Adding the Themes menu option will make it easier for a person to find the best color scheme for their work flow. Well done!

Would it still be of value to place the images of the 14 theme screenshots on the Screenshots webpage, so a person doesn't have to cycle through them all to see which ones they like?

For those who are tired of Far Manager’s classic blue look and want a modern, calm, and easy-on-the-eyes color scheme.

Features

calm dark palette without a blue background;
warm amber accents;
extended colors through VT Rendering;
contrasting but unobtrusive file selection;
clear distinction between active and inactive panels;
styling for the main interface elements, editor and viewer;
automatic enabling of the required VT Rendering setting when the theme is imported.
