Configuration

kyma.yaml sets the style every slide starts from, named presets a slide can opt into, and master layouts.

Where kyma looks

With -c, that file. Otherwise ./kyma.yaml, then $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kyma/kyma.yaml, then ~/.config/kyma/kyma.yaml, which kyma writes on first run.

Global

global holds the style, transition and master every slide starts from. This is the one kyma writes on first run:

kyma.yaml

global:
  style:
    border: rounded
    border_color: "#9999CC"
    layout: center
    theme: dracula
  transition: none

Presets

kyma.yaml

presets:
  minimal:
    style:
      border: hidden
      theme: notty
    transition: none
  dark:
    style:
      border: rounded
      theme: dracula
    transition: swipeLeft

A slide picks one with preset: dark, and starts from the preset instead of global.

Masters

Named master layouts. See Grids and master layouts.

Precedence

A slide’s own front matter wins. A key it leaves out comes from its preset, and a slide without a preset takes it from global.
