#1

Personalize the cmdOS Home Screen

Theme settings control the color family, wallpaper, overall brightness, and warm-screen tint used by the new-tab experience.

Theme family

Choose one of the available dark themes or a light variant when that family provides one.

Wallpaper

Use no wallpaper, choose a bundled image, reuse an uploaded custom image, or upload a new image file.

Visual adjustments

Brightness and warm-tint strength are independent sliders with their own reset controls.

#2

Select a dark or light theme

Each theme preview applies a complete cmdOS appearance profile rather than changing only one color.

1Open Theme

Open Settings and select Theme under UX Appearance.

2Review dark and light groups

Browse the theme-family cards. Only families with a supported light variant appear in the Light group.

3Select a theme

Choose a preview card. Selecting a gradient theme also resets the wallpaper to None so the gradient remains visible.

#3

Choose or upload a wallpaper

A wallpaper sits behind the Home Screen and is stored as part of the extension’s appearance preferences.

None

Removes the wallpaper and leaves the selected theme background visible.

Bundled images

Current bundled choices include Car Race, Evermist, and Sky.

Custom image

Upload an image file. cmdOS reads it as a data URL, stores it locally, and selects the Custom wallpaper entry.

The extension labels wallpaper use as not recommended because detailed images can reduce text contrast depending on the chosen theme.
#4

Adjust brightness and warm tint

Use the two sliders to tune the complete Home Screen without replacing the selected theme.

Brightness

Adjusts the appearance from 0 to 100 percent. Reset returns brightness to 70 percent.

Warm Screen Tint

Adds a gentle warm tone over the new-tab screen. Reset returns tint strength to 10 percent.

Separate controls

Brightness and tint strength are stored and reset independently.
