An empty right pane said nothing, and multi-select made it a routine
sight. It now carries the wordmark, thread counts that run their query
when clicked, and a sync line that appears only when something needs
attention.
Rendered into the existing web view as a third document shape, so there
is one document path and one set of security rules. The brand palette is
a deliberate exception to deriving colours from the desktop theme, since
a logo is brand rather than chrome; the theme still picks which of the
two sets is used.
Counts refresh when the pane is about to show rather than in the
background: one goes stale the moment a tag is edited, and refreshing one
nobody is looking at is work for nothing. A generation counter discards a
superseded reply, and a late answer cannot repaint over an opened thread.
The helper lines are real links because JavaScript is off in this
profile. The handler is gated on the placeholder actually being
displayed, so the same URL inside a message body is dropped: a stranger's
mail must not drive the thread list, even to run a harmless query.
Three defects found while building, all silent:
- Every CSS percentage was invalid. QString::arg does not collapse "%%"
into "%", so the document carried "50%%" and the browser dropped each
declaration holding one, disabling the mask, the glow and both radial
gradients while still rendering something plausible. Substitution is by
named token now, which cannot collide with a percent sign.
- A geometry probe endorsed the layout while that was live, because it
measured only properties without percentages.
- The font test passed against a build with one face missing, since the
other satisfied both of its checks on its own.
The mockup's light values needed correcting against a real pane: the grid
vanished at a 2% luminance step on white, and the glow subtracts light
there rather than adding it, washing the pane. Strength only, not hue.

The icon was committed in a previous session and referenced nowhere: no
qrc, no .desktop entry, no setWindowIcon. It is wired up now, as a window
icon, a desktop entry, and install rules placing both into hicolor and
share/applications.
resources.qrc belongs to the executable rather than to qtmaildir_lib. A
qrc compiled into a static library registers itself from a global
initialiser, and the linker discards that object because nothing
references it: the build succeeded, qInitResources_resources() was
present in the .a, and QFile::exists(":/icons/qtmaildir.svg") still
returned false at runtime. Verified loading at 16, 32 and 64 pixels after
the move.
Toolbar and menu actions take icons from the system theme by their
standard names, so they match the rest of the desktop rather than
shipping bespoke art. A theme lacking one leaves that action as text,
which still works.
