Themes become a short Typst topic: choosing one, the native palettes and ports, and a theme file's roles

lapis_plain: lapis on flat grounds, with its framed and shadowed tags and its file-name shadow

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

No dot grid under the text and no stripes behind the focused tag; every colour, the gold frames and vermilion shadows of the plaques, the rules, the scroll column's checker and the title shadow stay lapis's. It follows lapis in the ring and the Themes picker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Config opens the startup file, DumpConfig the settings report, and the workspace tag reads Dump Themes Config Debug Exit

2026-10-01T03:12:17Z

Config (SPC f c) opens init, found as the settings report finds it (opts.startup_config_path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pardes/init or ~/.config/pardes/init, and the macOS and Windows paths config.md gives). A pane that already holds it is gone to instead; a file on disk is looked at; with none, an empty pane is named for it, and Save makes its directory and any above it first (File.make_dirs, fs.makeDirs) before writing. Without a configuration directory it says so and opens nothing. The report Config used to open, the startup path and every live setting, is DumpConfig, in a +DumpConfig pane. No alias keeps the old meaning. The workspace tag's default words put Themes where NextColor was, NextColor staying a builtin, and Config beside it. A tag the user edited is kept as it was: a dump stores only an edited one (topbar_custom), and a restore puts back only that. theme.snap types NextColor onto the workspace tag to click it, and tagnav's walk back to Dump takes five long-word steps. The rest of the re-recorded goldens differ in the workspace words and their widths only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Merge: 9P rounds 18-20 + Recent + renames + render G11-G14, tty track, cursor + faithful themes

ThemeSel is Themes and FontSel is Fonts; the old words still work in init files and dumps

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

The user asked for the plainer words. Every use is renamed: the builtins, leader paths, /commands, the docs and tutor, tests, and the themesel golden, re-recorded. An init file's ThemeSel or FontSel runs the new word and says `ThemeSel: renamed to Themes`, as ColumnTags is said; a dump naming an output pane by the old word restores it.
