Look, themes and tricks

How Pinchy looks and behaves on your desktop: the theme of every window, his tricks, his notifications and his keyboard shortcuts.

What to ask for

“Switch to a dark theme.” or “Use the Nord theme.” He changes the theme of every window at once.
“Do a backflip!” He plays a trick. “What tricks do you know?” shows the ones he has unlocked.
“Be quieter.” He turns his sounds or his notifications down.
“What is the shortcut to talk to you?” He tells you, and where to change it.
“Stay on this screen.” or “Walk on all my monitors.” He changes where he may walk.

Themes: 31 theme families, each in light and dark, with an accent colour and an icon style. A change shows at once in every window.
More themes: an extension can add colour themes. They appear under “From your extensions” while that extension is switched on; switch it off and you are back on the theme you had before.
Tricks: he learns a new trick at every milestone. Chats, finished tasks, Work and Code runs, agents and voice all count, and the last trick is a surprise. Extensions can add tricks too.
Notifications arrive as a small bubble next to him; important ones also go to the system notification tray. You can ask for a desktop notification explicitly.
Shortcuts are global: they work in any app. Every shortcut can be changed, and each feature shows its own shortcut where it is mentioned.

Settings → Pinchy → Themes: light or dark, the colour theme, the accent colour, the icon style.
Settings → Pinchy → Look & behaviour: how he looks and behaves on your desktop, including where he walks.
Settings → Pinchy → Tricks & milestones: the tricks he has, what unlocks the next one.
Settings → Pinchy → Notifications: where and how he tells you things.
Settings → Pinchy → Shortcuts: all keyboard shortcuts in one place, and the switch for all of them.

If a shortcut does nothing, another program may already use those keys. Change it, or run Settings → Safety & data → Check everything.
Tricks are for fun and for pointing at things on screen. He keeps them short while you work.
