Feature Request: Support ~/.config for theme directory on macOS #147

@joaquinrivero

Description

@joaquinrivero

Problem

Users expect Warp themes to be stored in ~/.config on macOS because other applications use this folder. Currently, Warp uses ~/.warp instead, which confuses new users.

Current Behavior

  • Themes must go in: ~/.warp/themes/
    • Users look in: ~/.config/warp-terminal/themes/
      • Result: Users cannot find where to put themes

Expected Behavior

  • Allow users to store themes in ~/.config/warp-terminal/themes/
    • OR make it configurable with an environment variable
      • OR show a helpful error message when themes are in wrong location

Why This Matters

  • Users manage dotfiles and expect everything in ~/.config
    • Makes Warp easier to use for new users
      • Consistent with other modern terminal applications

Workaround (for now)

Users can create a symlink:

ln -s ~/.config/warp-terminal ~/.warp
