Eza Color Explanation
       eza provides its own built-in set of file extension mappings that cover
       a large range of common file extensions, including documents, archives,
       media, and temporary files.  Any mappings in the environment variables
       will override this default set: running eza with LS_COLORS="*.zip=32"
       will turn zip files green but leave the colours of other compressed
       files alone.

       You can also disable this built-in set entirely by including a reset
       entry at the beginning of EZA_COLORS.  So setting
       EZA_COLORS="reset:*.txt=31" will highlight only text files; setting
       EZA_COLORS="reset" will highlight nothing.

   Examples
       o Disable the "current user" highlighting: EZA_COLORS="uu=0:gu=0"

       o Turn the date column green: EZA_COLORS="da=32"

       o Highlight Vagrantfiles: EZA_COLORS="Vagrantfile=1;4;33"

       o Override the existing zip colour: EZA_COLORS="*.zip=38;5;125"

       o Markdown files a shade of green, log files a shade of grey:
         EZA_COLORS="*.md=38;5;121:*.log=38;5;248"

   BUILT-IN EXTENSIONS
       o eza now supports bright colours!  As supported by most modern
         256-colour terminals, you can now choose from bright colour codes
         when selecting your custom colours in your #EZA_COLORS environment
         variable.

       o Build (Makefile, Cargo.toml, package.json) are yellow and underlined.

       o Images (png, jpeg, gif) are purple.

       o Videos (mp4, ogv, m2ts) are a slightly purpler purple.

       o Music (mp3, m4a, ogg) is a faint blue.

       o Lossless music (flac, alac, wav) is a less faint blue.

       o Cryptographic files (asc, enc, p12) are bright green.

       o Documents (pdf, doc, dvi) are a fainter green.

       o Compressed files (zip, tgz, Z) are red.

       o Temporary files (tmp, swp, ~) are dimmed default foreground color.

       o Compiled files (class, o, pyc) are yellow.  A file is also counted as
         compiled if it uses a common extension and is in the same directory
         as one of its source files: styles.css will count as compiled when
         next to styles.less or styles.sass, and scripts.js when next to
         scripts.ts or scripts.coffee.

       o Source files (cpp, js, java) are bright yellow.

   Theme Configuration file
       Now you can specify these options and more in a theme.yml file with
       convenient syntax for defining your styles.

       Set EZA_CONFIG_DIR to specify which directory you would like eza to
       look for your theme.yml file, otherwise eza will look for
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/eza/theme.yml.

       These are the available options:

       Each of those fields/sub fields can have the following styling
       properties defined beneath it

                  foreground: Blue
                  background: null
                  is_bold: false
                  is_dimmed: false
                  is_italic: false
                  is_underline: false
                  is_blink: false
                  is_reverse: false
                  is_hidden: false
                  is_strikethrough: true
                  prefix_with_reset: false

       Example:


              file_type:
                image:
                  foreground: Blue
                  is_italic: true
              date:
                foreground: White

              security_context:
                selinux:
                  role:
                    is_hidden: true

       Icons can now be customized as well in the filenames and extensions
       fields


              filenames:
                # Just change the icon glyph
                Cargo.toml: {icon: {glyph: <?>}}
                Cargo.lock: {icon: {glyph: <?>}}

              extensions:
                rs: {  filename: {foreground: Red}, icon: {glyph: <?>}}

       NOTES:

       Not all glyphs support changing colors.

       If your theme is not working properly, double check the syntax in the
       config file, as a syntax issue can cause multiple properties to not be
       applied.

       You must name the file theme.yml, no matter the directory you specify.
