mulmoterminal-theme

# Make a colour scheme of your own `themes` in `~/.mulmoterminal/config.json` defines schemes that appear in Settings' picker next to the four built-ins, and that a project can then name in its `.mulmoterminal.json` `theme` key. Settings can *choose* a theme; nothing in the app can *create* one. This skill is that path. This is the **whole app's** palette — panel backgrounds, borders, accent, text. A single project's badge and header colours are a different thing (`mulmoterminal-dirs`). ## How to run this ### 1. Find out what they're going after Ask for the direction first, with concrete options rather than "what colours?": - **From something that exists** — a painting, a photo, a brand, an editor theme they like. This is the easiest to do well: take 5–8 colours off the source and assign them to roles. - **A variant of a built-in** — "Nord but warmer", "Daylight with more contrast". Use `extends` and write only the keys that differ. - **Light or dark**, if it isn't already obvious. It decides every value below. ### 2. Decide `extends` — and know what it costs ```jsonc { "id": "arles", "label": "Van Gogh (Arles)", "extends": "daylight", "colors": { "--accent": "#c8971e" } } ``` - **With `extends`**, `colors` is a diff over that built-in (`midnight` / `nord` / `daylight` / `solarized`). Anything you leave out is inherited. Start here — it is far easier to get right, and a three-key diff is a real theme. - **Without `extends`**, the theme must set **every** one ...
