Readme
pi-umbra-shimmer
A wave of colour through pi's working line, over the spinner and the text. The band blends from the theme's accent to its bright accent and back as it moves.
pi install npm:pi-umbra-shimmer
node ~/.pi/agent/npm/node_modules/pi-umbra-shimmer/patch.mjs
Restart pi after the patch.
Command
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/umb-shimmer |
show the current setting |
/umb-shimmer classic |
a band sweeps left to right, 2 s per pass (default) |
/umb-shimmer kitt |
a narrower band runs back and forth, 1.1 s each way |
/umb-shimmer off |
no wave; the line is drawn in the muted colour |
/umb-shimmer classic 2 |
any mode with a speed from 0.25 to 8, where 2 is twice as fast |
The setting is kept in ~/.pi/agent/shimmer. With pi-umbra-theme installed, the spinner
frames keep pace with the wave.
The patch
pi draws the working line with a colour it picks itself and gives extensions no way to
change it. patch.mjs makes three small edits to pi's installed bundle so the extension can
paint it. The edits do nothing unless the extension is loaded.
A pi update replaces the bundle and removes the patch without any error, so run the script again after every update.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
node .../patch.mjs |
apply the patch; a part already applied is skipped |
node .../patch.mjs --check |
change nothing, exit 1 if a part is missing |
The script finds pi next to where the package is installed, then under bun's global
directory. Set PI_UMBRA_PI to the pi-coding-agent directory if yours is elsewhere. If
pi's code has changed and a patch no longer fits, the script says so and writes nothing for
it. Reinstalling pi removes every patch.
