 ## Usage
+#### The stream

+rainbow
 ```
+and see your stream.
+
+I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.
+You can try it with:
+```bash
+rainbow -iot # Or rainbow --image-on-term
+```
+
 In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream app at Twitter.
 Just click the "Authorize access" button and paste PIN number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.
 
-While the rainbow stream is continued, you can search, list follower, following user, tweet directly from console, etc...
-Type 'h' to view help or see screenshot above.
+## Interactive mode
+
+While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet, search, reply, retweet... directly from console.
+Simply type "h" and hit the Enter key to see the help.
+
+Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.
+
+Available commands are listed in [Read The Docs](http://rainbowstream.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) .
+
+## Theme customization
+Rainbow Stream is shipped with some default themes.
