Inspired by cherry blossom season and the quiet gardens beneath it, this theme pairs pale petal backgrounds with deep rose and plum accents to create a soft and unhurried coding environment. Light, gentle surfaces keep the editor calm, while muted greens and clear sky blues add balance and focus to key syntax elements.

Getting started on Rhino
- 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 ).
- 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.
- On Windows, run the OptionsImport command ( or Tools → Import Options… ) and choose the .ini file.
- Tick Appearance, Grid and UiPaintColors and click Apply; the viewport and the toolbar and tab colors update at once.
- 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.

From the blog
- Anatomy of a Light Theme: Sakura: Anatomy of Sakura, a light IDE theme: blossom white and petal pink backgrounds, a deep cherry foreground, and syntax in rose, garden green and sky blue.
- HWB: Pick a Hue, Add White, Add Black: HWB reads like a mixing recipe: a hue, some white, some black. How sakura pink falls out of a rose hue drowned in white, and where hwb() works in CSS.
