Appearance and themes

Open Settings → Appearance to choose a theme and follow the system appearance or stay in light or dark mode. To use different themes for light and dark mode, select the corresponding preview within each theme. Appearance preferences are saved separately on each device or browser.

Mobile has its own themes and text, code, and terminal preferences. It does not follow environment themes or defaults.

Motion

The main sidebar, right panel, and terminal drawer open and close immediately by default. Move the Panel animations slider above 0 ms to add motion, up to 400 ms, unless reduced motion is enabled in your operating system. Moving between threads always snaps to the selected thread's panel state without replaying its transitions.

Custom themes

On web and desktop, choose Create theme to adjust a palette, or import a T3 Code or VS Code theme. The theme editor's color picker lets you select an area of the app to find the color to change. Export your theme as JSON to share it.

Environment themes

Environment themes and defaults come from the server serving your web app or the desktop app's main local environment. app.t3.codes and additional connections do not use them.

Select a published theme in Settings → Appearance to follow its palette as the server updates it. Duplicate makes an independent copy you can edit. A saved custom theme with the same ID takes precedence. If the server stops publishing the selected theme, T3 Code falls back to its standard theme.

Run this on the server to set a default and switch connected clients to it:

t3 theme set nightfall

Clients that are offline apply it when they reconnect. Each client applies the setting once; choosing another theme afterward sticks until the next t3 theme set. Run the command again to reapply it, even if the name is unchanged.

t3 theme clear removes the default without changing anyone's current theme. t3 theme show lists the default and published themes.

Publish a theme

Save a theme exported from T3 Code into ~/.t3/userdata/themes/ on the server, or the themes directory under your custom state directory. The filename supplies the theme ID: nightfall.json can be selected with t3 theme set nightfall. Keep the filename stable when updating its colors. Do not use system, light, dark, or a built-in theme's ID.

For an integration that generates a palette, this shorter format also works:

{
  "name": "Nightfall",
  "appearance": "dark",
  "canvas": "#1a1b26",
  "accent": "#7aa2f7",
  "colors": {
    "terminalSelection": "#292e42",
    "error": "#f7768e"
  }
}

Set appearance to light or dark and supply hex colors for canvas and accent. T3 Code generates the rest. The optional colors overrides use the names in the theme editor's advanced view.

Write updates to a temporary file and rename it into place so clients never read a partial theme. Invalid files are not published.
