Rules and chrome scale with the display's density; dark pages get visible separators and focus tints

2026-10-01T03:12:16Z

Density: dp() in gui.zig draws every size given in pixels in logical pixels (SDL's window display scale, rounded, at least one), as acme scales Border, ButtonBorder and Scrollgap: the rules (rule_px), the tag rule, the grip's ring, its dirty gap and mode bars, the rail's gap to the text and its minimum, the thumb's inset, the rim, a bar cursor's minimum width, underline and strikethrough thickness (the atlas is dropped on a scale change), the rule-grab margin, and the Crt's scanline and mask periods (pardesScale in the post prefix). Cell- and tagline-measured sizes stay: the rail's width, Lift's blur and offsets, every motion; iResolution, fragCoord and iMouse stay in the display's pixels, as ghostty's. PARDES_TEST_SCALE forces a density in a harness (a test window is 1x otherwise, whatever display it lands on) and sizes the test font with it. Colours: a separator that stands off its page by less than 1.5:1 is lifted toward the text to 1.6:1 (helix, atelier, paper; a theme with no page, dark, is judged against #121212), and empty_col follows it. forge's own rule already stands at 3.83:1; what hid it was density: 2 device pixels on a 3x screen, now 6 (dp). A focused tag's tint closer than 1.5:1 to the plain tag on a dark page (1.25:1 on a light one) is pushed further the way it leans, as far as its text keeps its own contrast or 4.5: forge 1.23 -> 1.51 (#2d3440 -> #374253), and likewise dusk, orchard, ink, lagoon, clay, harvest, spectrum, solarium, forge_soft; daybreak, atelier, paper to 1.25. dark and helix gain a tint of their own (dark: #484566 under #c8c8c8, 1.54:1; helix: ramp 237 under 250, 1.65:1). Tag caret: past a full row's end, the G3 glide box sits on the tag's right edge, where the layer's caret and the pixel shell's are. Tests: every native theme's separator >= 1.5 and every dark one has a tint >= 1.25 with readable text; forge keeps its own border; the tag caret glide box at a full row; at 2x the spine, tag rule, ring, rail start and gap, and bar cursor double. Legacy-ThemeFile test strips helix's new pair. Goldens: snapshot goldens change in colour rows only, the tints (orchard #283a2f -> #314738 at boot, forge, helix and dark in theme/themesel). GUI goldens: the harness's single Del of the renamed wide pane is refused since ysqnkyoy (a rename counted as unsaved; fixed on the 9P line in wkzlsqvy), so scenes 09-17 were recorded with that pane open and the file was stale since the merge (08 and 18 also moved with ykvnltvs's full-row tag wrap). The goldens here were recorded with that pane closed (as wkzlsqvy will close it); against the parent's binary under the same conditions they differ only in the tints: 01-13 forge's (#2d3440 -> #374253, and the glyph edges on it), 14 ink's; 15-18 are byte-identical. Until wkzlsqvy is merged, a run here fails 09-17. Each commit reproduces its own recorded goldens on this machine (checked at kvtmqkyn). A test window is 1x unless PARDES_TEST_SCALE says otherwise, whatever display it opens on. Prebuilt shaders refreshed from their sources.

Pty children are exec'd with their own TERM/COLORTERM/TERM_PROGRAM instead of inheriting a .app launch's empty environment, and ttyTaken finally answers on darwin — libproc walks the tty's foreground process group — so Escape reaches the child and Exec stops believing every pane sits at its prompt. The occupancy suite runs on both platforms now. The workspace tag row moves into the native menu bar as a Builtins menu. -Dworkspace-tag (default off for -Dplatform=macos, on everywhere else) drives it, and Pardes.topBarHeight replaces the TOPBAR_H constant so the core stops reserving the row. The view pins every variable-font axis to the file's own default (Maple Mono came up Thin otherwise), shapes ligatures, carries per-shape pointer cursors, and draws the look-hover affordance as refracted glass. Tag rows fill edge to edge, with the anchor box painted back on top of that fill and its mode glyph centred on the same square. Theme accents re-saturated across the set.

themes: one file each, generated from helix and zed, picked by stepping a list

2026-08-01T18:02:08Z

Each theme is a .zig file of pure data and nothing enumerates them by hand — fold() walks the container's declarations, so a theme is a file and that is the whole registration. Field by field rather than a wholesale coercion, which makes a missing field a compile error that names it. tools/gen_themes.zig reads helix .toml and zed .json out of vendor/themes and emits one .zig each; build.zig reads that directory, so adding a theme is dropping a file in. Output goes to the build cache rather than the tree, so zig owns the freshness check and a deleted source cannot leave a stale theme behind. Vendored, not read from the genizah: the build stays offline. A source it cannot map is a hard error naming the file and the key, never a silently black-on-black theme. ThemeSel is the clever half. Traits gained an `executes` column, so n/N over that buffer hands the whole line to Exec instead of the leading word to Look — both arms the ordinary builtin, so a stepped row does exactly what the matching mouse button on it would. Stepping the list previews each theme live. The trait is a pane property, not an output-pane branch, so any pane whose lines are commands can opt in. Goldens: leader gains SPC t t; theme's fourth NextColor no longer wraps to helix because the ring is fifteen long. New: themesel.
