What hermes-web-themes does

Each theme is one YAML file in the themes folder. A theme has a name, label and description, plus a palette with background, midground and foreground layers (each a hex value and alpha), a warmGlow rgba string and a noiseOpacity. Optional typography and layout sections are supported, along with colorOverrides for shadcn token accents such as primary, accent, border, success, warning and destructive. Anything a theme leaves out is inherited from the built-in default dashboard theme.

To use them, you copy or symlink the YAML files into ~/.hermes/dashboard-themes, then choose a theme in the dashboard or run hermes config set dashboard.theme with a theme name such as dracula. The repository also has scripts/convert.py, which regenerates themes from a hermes-skins-pack checkout, scripts/validate.py, which validates every theme, and a unit test suite. A theme index and a CONTRIBUTING guide are included.
