Rio de Janeiro Theme for Rhino

Inspired by Rio's lush hills, soft morning light, and ocean air, this theme blends airy minty backgrounds with confident rainforest greens and clean coastal blues. The editor stays bright and calm for long sessions, while crisp greens and balanced accents keep syntax readable and focused.

A light theme from the Codigrate Cities collection, released 2026-01-06. Tags: Tropical, Coastal, Energetic.

Getting started on Rhino

1. Download the zip with the Download button. Inside are the Mac one-click app ( Codigrate <Name> Rhino Theme.app ) and the Windows color file ( Codigrate <Name>.ini ).
2. On a Mac, double-click the app and confirm you want to open it. It closes Rhino, applies the full theme ( viewport, toolbars, panels, tabs ), matches your macOS light or dark appearance to the theme, and reopens Rhino. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without a warning.
3. On Windows, run the OptionsImport command ( or Tools → Import Options… ) and choose the .ini file.
4. Tick Appearance, Grid and UiPaintColors and click Apply; the viewport and the toolbar and tab colors update at once.
5. Rhino draws a few controls with the system appearance, so keep Windows in light mode for a light theme and dark mode for a dark theme.
