Reflect Dashboard Theme

What Reflect Dashboard Theme does

Reflect has two parts: reflect.yaml, the theme definition covering palette, typography and layout, whose customCSS is a single @import line, and reflect.css, a stylesheet of about 54 KB served by a companion dashboard plugin named reflect-theme-assets at /dashboard-plugins/reflect-theme-assets/reflect.css. The split exists because Hermes truncates a theme's inline customCSS at 32 KiB, which previously clipped the Kanban two-pane drawer and dashboard-wide styling.

The design uses a #0A0E1A page background, #6366f1 indigo as the primary color, #8b5cf6 violet as the accent, and Inter with Geist Mono for type. No Hermes source patches are needed and it works on stock builds, and the theme and plugin directories under ~/.hermes are not touched by hermes update. After installing, restart the dashboard once so it discovers the plugin, then pick Reflect in the theme switcher or run hermes config set dashboard.theme reflect. The README includes uninstall steps and screenshots of the Cron, Logs, Models, Plugins and Skills pages.
