The `ssh-chat` server will interpret your local variables and change settings to match yours accordingly (if they can be matched). Variables have to sent with the `SendEnv` flag accordingly. ## `SSHCHAT_THEME` The simplest variable is the `SSHCHAT_THEME` variable which allows you to define what theme you would like for your session. This can be defined to match any theme defined within `ssh-chat`, so for example to connect using the `solarized` theme, which is normally activated by running `/theme solarized`, you can instead do the following: ```bash -$ SSHCHAT_THEME=solarized ssh -i my_id_file username@ssh.chat +$ SSHCHAT_THEME=solarized ssh -o SendEnv=SSHCHAT_THEME -i my_id_file username@ssh.chat ``` Upon joining, your session's theme will automatically be `solarized`.
