Install via CLI

Prefer a one-liner? The myhippo CLI writes the chosen preset to styles/hippo-theme.css.

bash

npx myhippo theme midnight

Available presets:

Wire it up

Import the theme file and enable the dark variant:

css

/* app/globals.css */
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "./styles/hippo-theme.css";

@custom-variant dark (&:where(.dark, .dark *));

Then map each variable to a Tailwind color token so classes like bg-primary resolve:

css

@theme inline {
  --color-background: var(--background);
  --color-foreground: var(--foreground);
  --color-muted: var(--muted);
  --color-muted-foreground: var(--muted-foreground);
  --color-card: var(--card);
  --color-card-foreground: var(--card-foreground);
  --color-border: var(--border);
  --color-input: var(--input);
  --color-ring: var(--ring);
  --color-primary: var(--primary);
  --color-primary-foreground: var(--primary-foreground);
  --color-secondary: var(--secondary);
  --color-secondary-foreground: var(--secondary-foreground);
  --color-accent: var(--accent);
  --color-accent-foreground: var(--accent-foreground);
  --color-destructive: var(--destructive);
  --color-destructive-foreground: var(--destructive-foreground);
  --radius-md: var(--radius);
}

Customize

Presets are just starting points. Edit any variable — every component updates because none of them hardcode colors. Keep the variable names identical so components keep resolving.
