Settings → Appearance is where the desktop’s look is set. Everything here is per-device and survives updates.

Wallpaper

Four things ship on the box, and you can upload your own picture beside them. A ClawBox running Hermes Agent shows no ClawBox artwork: that is another product’s branding. Wallpapers you upload yourself are on every edition. Beside the picture you get Fit Mode (fill, fit or center), Opacity and a Background Color the wallpaper is composited over.

The mascot

Show Mascot puts a companion on the desktop. Click it to open the chat panel; its menu can send it to sleep or hide it.

Mascot Pet

Settings → Appearance → Mascot Pet chooses the body your companion wears. It is on every edition.
  • The first tile is what your box wears with nothing picked. On a ClawBox running OpenClaw that is the ClawBox crab, which ships with the box: no download, works offline, and it cannot be removed. On a Hermes-edition box the first tile is None — an egg you can click to hatch a random pet.
  • Every other tile is a community pet from the Petdex gallery. Picking one downloads its sprites to your device; they do not ship with ClawBox. Each tile is credited to whoever made it, and Browse the full gallery opens the whole collection.
  • A pet needs an internet connection the first time you pick it, and works offline afterwards.
The Appearance settings: the Show Mascot switch, and the Mascot Pet picker with the built-in ClawBox crab selected beside a grid of community pets, each credited to its author.

Settings → Appearance: Show Mascot and the pet picker

On the Hermes edition, picking a pet writes through Hermes’ own pet configuration — the same store its CLI and dashboard read, so a pet chosen in a terminal moves this picker too.

Language

The desktop is translated into ten languages. Pick yours from the Language setting.
