Themes & Customization

Themes restyle everything — the presence orb, the thought bubble, every card, and every app or shortcut BOR generates. A theme is a complete identity: palette, fonts, border style, wallpaper, and a design handbook the AI follows when it builds for you. You change themes just by asking.

​

The themes

Eleven base themes ship today (pick one in onboarding, switch any time):

​

Changing the look

“Make it feel like a glossy 2000s aqua desktop.”

BOR switches to the matching theme, can generate a fitting wallpaper and apply it to your real macOS desktop, and can set custom fonts. Everything it builds from then on follows the new theme.

• “Switch to Pixel CRT.”
• “Make me a wallpaper of a foggy forest and use it.”
• “Back to the default look.” (resets the theme)
• “Call yourself Juniper from now on.” (renames the presence)

​

Themes shape what BOR builds

A theme isn’t just CSS — it’s a handbook. Before generating any app or shortcut, BOR reads the active theme’s design guidelines: palette, type scale, spacing, components, dos and don’ts. That’s why a Risograph presence produces Risograph apps, not generic ones, and why every surface looks intentional.

​

Your presence, your character

Beyond themes, the presence itself is customizable in onboarding and after:

• Name — what your AI calls itself.
• Presence style — four animated presence characters (Nova, Cipher, Aria, Echo), each a distinct field-of-light rendering.
• Color — eight accent swatches (Pearl, Amber, Ember, Bloom, Aurora, Frost, Lilac, Onyx).
• Personality — a description of how it should behave, which genuinely shapes every reply.

​

Small touches

Each theme has room for small persistent decorations — “put a clock in the corner”, “add a sticker to the home screen” — that BOR can add without touching anything structural. And BOR can draw one-off SVG decorations on request.
