• Left panel: Sections for “Built-in”, “Registry”, and “Custom”. Each row shows a color thumbnail, theme name, and source label. Select a theme to activate and edit it.

Theme Appearance Mode

Each theme has a fixed appearance property: light, dark, or auto. Activating a theme sets NSApp.appearance to match. One active theme at a time; there is no separate light/dark assignment.

Customizing Themes

Select a theme and edit directly. Built-in themes auto-duplicate when you change colors or layout, preserving the original. Font changes apply without duplication.

​

Import, Export & Registry

Export custom themes as JSON. Import from files or install from the plugin registry (Settings > Plugins > Browse, filter by Themes). Registry themes are read-only; duplicate to customize.
