Turns bb into a cold corporate workstation, lit by one continuous petroleum-blue field that every panel shares. Dark and light are the same room at two exposures, so switching modes changes the light and not the design. Bundled Pierre-compatible code themes carry the palette into code, diffs, the file tree, and the terminal, with separate focus, selection, warning, and destructive colours. IBM Plex Sans and Mono and the texture are embedded in the stylesheet, so the theme makes no network requests.


Overview

What you get

  • One continuous petroleum-blue field, anchored to the window and shared by every large surface, so the composition does not restart at each pane's corner.
  • Dark and light as the same room at two exposures: the same bloom low and centre, the same texture, the same hierarchy — the light changes, the design does not.
  • Matching code, diff, file-tree, and terminal colours through bundled Pierre-compatible light and dark themes.
  • IBM Plex Sans for conversation and navigation, with IBM Plex Mono for code, timestamps, and operational metadata.
  • An illuminated hairline seam on the focused pane, so focus is visible without a border or a pulse.

How it behaves

E Corp follows bb's light and dark mode setting automatically. It includes dedicated focus, selection, warning, success, destructive, diff, and ANSI terminal colours rather than flattening semantic states into the neutral palette. Every text tier is measured against the darkest and lightest points the field reaches in that mode.

The fonts and the texture are embedded in the stylesheet, so the theme is self-contained and makes no network requests. Reduced-motion and reduced-transparency preferences are supported. The theme adds no commands, background services, settings, accounts, API keys, or external dependencies.

After installation, select E Corp under Settings → Appearance, or run bb theme set plugin:e-corp:e-corp.

Where it comes from

E Corp is named for the conglomerate in Mr. Robot, and its field is read from one image in the series: Elliot Alderson's desktop wallpaper. The composition is taken from it — light low and slightly right of centre, shade at the top edge and outer corners — along with the petroleum-blue register the palette is built on. The texture embedded in the stylesheet is a high-passed greyscale derivative of the same image, so the mottling across every panel is the wallpaper's own. That shared origin is why light mode is an exposure of the field rather than an inversion of it.

This is an unofficial fan-made theme. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by the show's creators or rights holders, and the wallpaper it derives from remains theirs. IBM Plex font files are distributed under the SIL Open Font License.
