We can update this options according to https://github.com/hackjutsu/Lepton/blob/d5042ee1a876516a76a9f615fcbbbeed4d754952/configs/defaultConfig.js#L3 :)

Changing Lepton to Dark Theme and TabSize 2 for Linux Snap Package

N/B: Do not use administrative rights (sudo) for any command that you would run

1. Create a file named .leptonrc on your Desktop

2. Put the code below into it

{
    "theme": "dark",
    "snippet": {
        "expanded": true,
        "newSnippetPrivate": false,
        "sorting": "updated_at", 
        "sortingReverse": true
    },
    "editor" : {
        "tabSize": 2
    },
    "userPanel": {
        "hideProfilePhoto": false
    },
    "logger": {
        "level": "debug"
    },
    "proxy": {
        "enable": false,
        "address": "socks://localhost:1080"
    },
    "enterprise": {
        "enable": false,
        "host": "github_enterprise_host",
        "token": "token_with_gist_enabled",
        "avatarUrl": "optional_avatar_url"
    }
}

3. Save and exit your text editor.

4. Copy the .leptonrc file to ~/snap/lepton/9 directory by running the command below, which will create a symbolic link in the ~/snap/lepton/current directory.

    mv .leptonrc ~/snap/lepton/9/.leptonrc

5. Restart your Lepton application.

That's all.

I hope this helps.

can you give an example to how put keyShortcutForSearch const?

{
"theme": "dark",`
"snippet": {
"expanded": true,
"newSnippetPrivate": false,
"sorting": "updated_at",
"sortingReverse": true
},
"editor" : {
"tabSize": 2
},
"userPanel": {
"hideProfilePhoto": false
},
"logger": {
"level": "debug"
},
"proxy": {
"enable": false,
"address": "socks://localhost:1080"
},
"enterprise": {
"enable": false,
"host": "github_enterprise_host",
"token": "token_with_gist_enabled",
"avatarUrl": "optional_avatar_url"
}
}

The backtick on line 2 is inhibiting this theme from properly rendering.

Thank you RyanOC, I just fixed it.

Dark mode wasn't working for me on Ubuntu 18.04 snap installation. Moving .leptonrc from home to ~/snap/lepton/9/.leptonrc fixed it. Thanks @promisepreston

Is it not possible to change the font being used in the app? Would be nice to change the "body" font and the "code" font separately.
