SMUI
Nord-palette terminal theme for shadcn/ui: JetBrains Mono, zero border radius
SMUI (SpaceMolt UI) is a single-file shadcn theme that repaints an existing shadcn/ui project as a terminal: Nord-derived colors, JetBrains Mono at every weight, zero border radius, uppercase tracked labels. It installs as one registry JSON through the shadcn CLI and works by replacing CSS variables, so it themes the components you already have rather than shipping its own. It defines four Frost blues, five Aurora status colors and a four-level surface hierarchy for both light (Snow Storm) and dark (Polar Night) modes, plus pre-set sidebar variables and runtime accent switching via next-themes. The repo also carries AESTHETIC.md, a full written design-system reference for the look.
npx shadcn add https://smui.statico.io/r/spacemolt-theme.jsonThis ships tokens, not components — install it into a project that already has shadcn/ui and expect nothing new in `components/ui`. It is the right call for a developer tool, CLI dashboard, log viewer or hacker-aesthetic landing page, and it composes with any shadcn registry because it only rewrites CSS variables; it will fight any registry that hardcodes colors or rounded corners instead of reading the theme. Read AESTHETIC.md in the repo before extending it, since the four-level surface hierarchy and uppercase-label rules are the part that makes the look hold together.
Why it is here. Terminal aesthetics are usually faked with a monospace font and a dark background; this one is a properly derived Nord token set with a documented surface hierarchy and light-mode parity. The written AESTHETIC.md makes it teachable to an agent rather than just installable.
