Configuration
Archey3's configuration file is stored at ~/.config/archey3.cfg by default. However this can be adjusted using this command where CONFIG represents the file to use.
$ archey3 --config=CONFIG
Colors
Archey3 can display colors other than the default blue. To change colors, append the -c foo flag, where "foo" represents the desired color. Supported colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white. For example, to display archey3 in red, type:
$ archey3 -c red
Editing the config file
A sample config file, with comments showing all of the possible options for configuration, is available in the Config reference.
