Eighteen warm, readable palettes for Hermes Desktop, assigned natively per profile, with one embedded type system (Figtree + Geist Mono), matching terminal colors and a CLI banner painted per palette.

## Good to know before installing

Theme-only plugin: it registers eighteen themes through the plugin SDK, and its stylesheet adjusts a few Desktop surfaces (profile-rail glyph contrast, Capabilities metadata, the MCP JSON editor and the Manage Profiles overlay) only while a Minimalist theme is active. It also ships optional CLI/TUI skins as plain YAML files the user copies; the Desktop side never reads them. Fonts are bundled; no network requests, no agent tools or hooks, no background processes. The package also ships an inert Agent entrypoint whose register() does nothing, so Hermes Agent imports it cleanly instead of reporting a missing module.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install minimalist-themes
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable minimalist-themes
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
