Pi Everforest

Six warm, green-based Everforest color schemes packaged as installable themes for the Pi coding agent.

The preview illustrates the package palettes. Exact colors depend on your terminal and display settings.

Features

• Dark and light variants with hard, medium, and soft contrast levels
• Colors for Pi's UI, Markdown, diffs, syntax highlighting, thinking levels, and bash mode
• Matching colors for Pi HTML exports
• Native Pi package discovery through pi.themes
• No runtime dependencies

Install

Install the package from npm:

pi install npm:pi-everforest

Or install it directly from GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/angribot/pi-everforest

To install the package only for the current project, add -l:

pi install -l npm:pi-everforest

Themes

Theme	Variant	Contrast
everforest-dark-hard	Dark	Hard
everforest-dark-medium	Dark	Medium
everforest-dark-soft	Dark	Soft
everforest-light-hard	Light	Hard
everforest-light-medium	Light	Medium
everforest-light-soft	Light	Soft

medium is Everforest's default contrast level and a good place to start.

Use

Select interactively

Open /settings in Pi and select one of the six theme names above.

Configure a theme

Set the theme key in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "theme": "everforest-dark-medium"
}

Follow terminal appearance

Pair a light theme with a dark theme to follow your terminal's appearance:

{
  "theme": "everforest-light-medium/everforest-dark-medium"
}

The light theme goes before the slash and the dark theme after it. The same pattern works with the hard and soft pairs.

Use for one session

Start Pi with a theme without changing the saved setting:

pi --use-theme everforest-dark-medium

Or use the automatic light/dark pair:

pi --use-theme everforest-light-medium/everforest-dark-medium

Palette design

Everforest describes its palette as green-based, warm-toned, and designed around soft contrast. This package maps its two variants and three contrast levels onto Pi's theme tokens:

• core UI and message surfaces
• success, warning, and error states
• Markdown and code syntax
• tool output and diffs
• thinking-level and bash-mode borders
• HTML export surfaces

This is an independent Pi theme package based on the upstream Everforest palette; it is not an official Everforest project.

Terminal notes

Pi uses 24-bit RGB colors. Most modern terminals support them, while older 256-color terminals receive an approximation.

You can check for true-color support with:

echo "$COLORTERM"

The result is commonly truecolor or 24bit. In VS Code, set terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio to 1 if its automatic contrast adjustment changes the palette.

Development

Load a theme directly from a checkout:

pi \
  --theme ./themes/everforest-dark-medium.json \
  --use-theme everforest-dark-medium

Validate all theme files as JSON:

for theme in themes/*.json; do
  python3 -m json.tool "$theme" >/dev/null || exit 1
done

Theme files include Pi's JSON schema URL for editor completion and validation.
