The Forbidden One — Pi themes

Four dark themes for Pi, ported from The Forbidden One for Zed by Kyoka-Suigetsu. Includes a matching static Pi logo and two-row footer that follow the active theme.

Version 0.1.0.

Theme	Optional terminal background
The Forbidden One Dark	`#101212`
The Forbidden One Blue	`#080C18`
The Forbidden One Purple	`#110818`
The Forbidden One Teal	`#081518`

The package includes an executable header/footer extension that runs with Pi's permissions. It adds no tools, providers or agent behavior and requires no build step or runtime dependencies beyond Pi's supplied SDK packages. For colors without the companion, disable its extension through pi config; see header/footer controls.

Install

Install the complete package:

pi install npm:the-forbidden-one-pi-theme

Restart Pi, then choose a theme through /settings → Theme, or launch with:

pi --use-theme "The Forbidden One Dark"

Installing the package makes all four themes available and loads the shared logo/header/footer automatically. No separate extension installation is needed. Replace Dark with Blue, Purple or Teal as desired.

Select and manage

/settings → Theme saves your choice; --use-theme selects it for one invocation.
/reload refreshes added or changed package/project themes. Active user theme files whose filenames match their names also hot-reload.
/forbidden-layout off restores Pi's native header/footer for this invocation; /forbidden-layout on enables the companion again. For persistent opt-out and ownership details, see header/footer controls.
To uninstall the published package, select a built-in theme such as system, run pi remove npm:the-forbidden-one-pi-theme and restart.

Compatibility and limitations

Pi colors its text and panels, not the host terminal's whole background or ANSI palette. Optionally set your terminal background to the matching RGB above. Exact RGB requires truecolor; 256-color terminals approximate colors. The package does not change display mode, startup verbosity or subagent layout.

Pair with Zed

If you use Zed, pair this package with The Forbidden One for Zed for a matching editor and integrated terminal. Choose the same Dark, Blue, Purple or Teal variant in both applications. Selections are independent, not automatically synchronized; Pi still does not change your native terminal's background.

Previews

Startup — Blue

The bundled static logo/header and two-row footer in an isolated Pi 1.0.2 session.

Parallel agents — simulated

An illustrative parallel-agent layout using pi-subagents 0.75.0, installed separately. Agent statuses are simulated; no agents or model requests were run. Above-editor placement is a demo configuration, not a setting applied by this theme.

Both UI images are PNG reconstructions of captured native ANSI frames, not physical-terminal screenshots. Fonts and terminal capabilities can differ. See preview provenance.

Palettes

The four images below are synthetic Pi 1.0.0 HTML-export crops, showing text and panel colors rather than terminal chrome. These earlier images are unchanged.

Dark

Dark: charcoal surfaces and purple accents

Blue

Blue: navy surfaces and blue accents
