-# Template Repository
+# My Custom Tmux Theme
 
-Hello, this is a basic template to use when creating new repos.
\ No newline at end of file
+A personal, dark, and colorful theme for Tmux, designed to be easy on the eyes and enhance productivity.
+
+This theme uses colors from the Kanagawa colortheme with a warm, earthy aesthetic, inspired by autumnal colors.
+Note - I am not using all the colors!
+
+## Features
+
+- **Dark, low-contrast background** to reduce eye strain.
+- **Vibrant accent colors** to highlight the active window and pane.
+- **Clear separation** between the status line and the main terminal pane.
+- **Easy to customize** with named colors.
+
+## Clone the Repo
+```
+git clone https://gitea.dokploy.second-breakfast.dev/erangel1/tmux.git
+```
+Clone the repo into your '~/.' directory
+
+**Reload Tmux.**
+    If you are in a Tmux session, you can apply the changes without restarting it. Press your prefix key (`Ctrl` + `b` by default), then type `:source-file ~/.tmux.conf` and press `Enter`.
+
+## Color Palette
+
+This theme uses a carefully selected palette of colors for a cohesive look.
+
+| Color Name      | Hex Code    | Usage                                  |
