Inspired by the towering stillness of a sequoia grove, this theme blends deep forest black and bark brown with living green and moss accents to create a grounded and focused coding environment. Dark, earthy backgrounds settle the editor, while warm tans, rusts, and a clear canopy green add contrast and clarity 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.
