Calmer dark and light themes for the Hermes dashboard
Two simple themes are available for people who find the default hard to focus on. They are named `boring-dark` and `boring-light`, covering and light mode. The themes reduce the strong teal look, textured , edge glow, and decorative fonts, then replace them with plainer colors and normal system-style text.
To install them manually, place the theme files in `~/.hermes/-themes`. After that, set the default with `hermes config set display._theme boring-dark`, or choose the theme from the theme switcher. There is also a GitHub install script, and `boring-light` can be passed to that script if light mode should be the default.
Hermes reads these `YAML` theme files without needing a plugin. If a theme file is edited while the is already open, switch to another theme and back again so the reloads the change.
