A lot of commands have output displayed as table.
It is possible to use different themes for tables.
If you run the command table --list you get all available themes.
At the moment the following themes are available: basic, compact, compact_double, default, heavy, light, none, reinforced, rounded, thin, with_love, psql, markdown, dots, restructured, ascii_rounded, basic_compact, single, double.
You can use a theme with the table command by using the --theme option and the name of the theme.
For example to have a different table theme for the ls command you can use ls | table --theme light.
If you want to change the theme for all table output you can set the configuration option $env.config.table.mode.
To make this configuration setting permanent you can add it to config.nu file.
In the following examples all different themes and how they look are shown:
