## Theming
You can theme a prompt by passing a `theme` object option. The theme object only need to includes the keys you wish to modify, we'll fallback on the defaults for the rest.
```ts
type FileSelectorTheme = {
prefix: {
idle: string
done: string
canceled: string
}
icon: {
linePrefix: (isLast: boolean) => string
}
style: {
disabled: (text: string) => string
active: (text: string) => string
cancelText: (text: string) => string
emptyText: (text: string) => string
directory: (text: string) => string
file: (text: string) => string
currentDir: (text: string) => string
message: (text: string, status: 'idle' | 'done' | 'canceled') => string
help: (text: string) => string
key: (text: string) => string
}
}
```
> [!NOTE]
> To see the default theme used by the prompt, look at the [fileSelectorTheme](src/index.ts#L30) constant and the [FileSelectorTheme](src/types.ts#L5) type.
