Appearance and Custom Themes

macOS Dock Icon Counter

On macOS, open Settings > Appearance and use Dock Icon Counter to show one of these counts on the massCode Dock icon:

• items in the Code Inbox
• items in the Notes Inbox
• tasks due today

Choose Don't Show to disable the counter. If macOS blocks the badge, allow notifications and badges for massCode in System Settings.

Custom Themes

Custom themes let you adapt massCode to your workflow and visual preferences. You can change both the app UI colors and the editor syntax highlighting colors.

How it works

• Themes are stored in ~/.massCode/themes/ as JSON files.
• Both light and dark theme types are supported.
• Theme files are watched in real time — edit the JSON, see the result instantly.

Creating a Theme

Create a new theme from Settings > Appearance. massCode generates a Rose Pine-based JSON template that you can use as a starting point and edit in real time.
