Inspired by the icy terraces of Mount Everest and the first light breaking over its peaks, this theme pairs cool white and pale grey backgrounds with deep glacier blues and greens to create a clear and unhurried coding environment. Bright, airy surfaces keep the editor calm, while teals, forest greens, and a warm coral accent add definition and focus to key syntax elements.
A light theme from the Codigrate Nature collection, released 2023-09-02. Tags: Calm, Icy, Sunrise.

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.
