Eighteen warm, light color themes for Hermes Desktop, installable as a Hermes plugin

What Minimalist Themes for Hermes Desktop does

The plugin registers eighteen palettes in Hermes Desktop's theme picker, among them Beetroot Juice, Coffee With Milk, Green Tea, Mango, Oceans, Snow Water and Yuzu. Hermes Desktop supports per-profile appearance, so you can switch to a profile, open Settings, Appearance, Theme and give it its own palette. The assignment persists per profile, and the default profile controls the inheritance slot for profiles without an explicit choice.

The entrypoint is desktop/plugin.js, which the Desktop SDK loads directly, so there is no build step. The repository also ships matching YAML skins for the CLI and TUI, but installing the Desktop plugin does not activate them. The manifest requires Hermes 0.21.3 or later, and per-profile assignment needs a Desktop build with native per-profile appearance support. The plugin installs, updates and is removed through the standard hermes plugins commands.
