Gallery is the local library for Herm eikons. It lists bundled eikons and eikons installed under the active Hermes home.
Open it with Alt+5 and the Gallery sub-tab, or type /gallery.
What the list shows
The list focuses on eikon names and active state. The details pane shows richer metadata for the selected entry, including author, local status, source availability, package identity, and trust/status labels when available.
The preview pane renders the selected eikon. If Herm cannot render a preview, it shows a fallback message instead of crashing the tab.
Activate an eikon
Select a row and press Enter. Herm saves that eikon name as the active avatar and updates the sidebar.
Create or install an eikon
Press the configured list.new key, usually n, to open the New / Install dialog.
You can:
- create a blank local eikon draft
- create a draft from local source media
- inspect and install a supported package source
Current source install flows are GitHub-package oriented. Use Marketplace for the default public catalog.
Gallery actions
Deleting an eikon removes local files. Bundled eikons cannot be deleted from Gallery.
When to use Studio or Marketplace
Use Studio when you want to edit source media, tune rasterizer settings, or render state frames.
Use Marketplace when you want to browse the shared catalog, install a package, download source when the package provides it, or activate an already-installed catalog entry.
