# appearance Sunset / Idle / Icons Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add Sunset, Idle and Icons tabs to the `appearance/` quickshell drawer.
**Architecture:** Each tab is backed by a `pragma Singleton` model (`Hyprsunset.qml`, `Hypridle.qml`, `Icons.qml`) that parses, serializes and applies a config file, mirroring `Udt.qml` / `Wallpapers.qml`. Tab UI lives in `SunsetTab.qml`, `IdleTab.qml`, `IconsTab.qml`, loaded by the existing `Loader`. Models are built and self-tested first, UI after, so every commit loads.
**Tech Stack:** Quickshell 0.3.1 / Qt6 QML, `Quickshell.Io` (Process, FileView, IpcHandler), `Quickshell.Widgets.IconImage`. Shell tools already installed: `python3` + `gi`/`Gtk`, `curl`, `unzip`, `xcur2png`, `gsettings`, `hyprctl`, `pkill`, `setsid`.
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-15-appearance-sunset-idle-icons-design.md`
## Global Constraints
- GPLv2-only header comment at the top of every new source file, verbatim from `appearance/Udt.qml` lines 1-10.
- No home paths in committed files: use `Quickshell.env("HOME")` or `~` in documentation.
- No new runtime dependencies. No `String.matchAll` (QML's JS engine lacks it): use `exec` loops or `[\s\S]`.
- Reusing a `Process` for a second command requires `running = false` immediately before `running = true`.
- Writes to config files go through `FileView.setText()` (atomic). Files we write are never read with `watchChanges`. Reads go through `Process { command: [...] }` + `StdioCollector`.
- Never `pkill -f`; the process name is `qs` and `-f` matches the agent's own shell. Use `pkill -x`.
- Detached daemon starts use `Quickshell.execDetached(["sh", "-c", "..."])`.
- The 1x1 keepalive `PanelWindow` in `AppearancePanel.qml` stays untouched.
- Selftests are pure functions returning a string starting with `SELFTEST ... PASS` or `SELFTEST ... FAIL`. They must not touch real files.
---
## File structure
appearance/Hyprsunset.qml sunset model: parse/serialize/validate/location/apply
appearance/Hypridle.qml idle model: parse/serialize/apply
appearance/Icons.qml theme lists, previews, apply
appearance/Field.qml styled single-line TextInput
appearance/Toggle.qml styled checkbox
appearance/SunsetTab.qml Sunset tab UI
appearance/IdleTab.qml Idle tab UI
appearance/IconsTab.qml Icons tab UI
appearance/AppearancePanel.qml tab bar, key cycle, Loader, show() refresh
appearance/shell.qml IPC verbs + selftest
appearance/README.md document the three tabs
---
### Task 1: Hyprsunset model
**Files:**
- Create: `appearance/Hyprsunset.qml`
- Modify: `appearance/shell.qml`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces:
- `Hyprsunset.profiles` : `var[]`, each `{ time: string, identity: bool, temperature: int|null, gamma: real|null }`
- `Hyprsunset.parseProfiles(text): var[]`
- `Hyprsunset.serializeProfiles(list): string`
- `Hyprsunset.dayIndex(list): int|null`, `Hyprsunset.nightIndex(list): int|null`
- `Hyprsunset.validTime(s): bool`, `validTemperature(t): bool`, `validGamma(g): bool`
- `Hyprsunset.refresh()`, `.save()`, `.preview()`, `.detect()`, `.fetchSun()`
- `Hyprsunset.lat`, `.lon`, `.autoDetect`, `.daemonCommand`, `.notice`, `.busy`, `.sunSummary`
- `Hyprsunset.selftest(): string`
- Consumes: existing `shell.qml` IpcHandler.
- [ ] **Step 1: Ensure the appearance shell is running**
Run: `pgrep -cx qs`
Expected: a number ≥ 1 (the autostarted session). If `0`, ask the user to start it (`qs -p appearance`) before continuing; the agent cannot keep a detached `qs` alive.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the model with a failing selftest**
Create `appearance/Hyprsunset.qml`. The parser and serializer are stubbed (`return []` / `return ""`) so the selftest fails; everything else is final.

}

}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the selftest IPC and run it to verify it fails**
In `appearance/shell.qml`, add to the `IpcHandler`:
```qml
function selftest(): string { return Hyprsunset.selftest(); }
```
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: `SELFTEST Hyprsunset FAIL: parsed 0 profiles`
(If the new singleton is not visible after save, the qmldir did not rescan; restart the appearance shell. Hot reload does not pick up a new component file by itself. The edit to `shell.qml` should force it.)
- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the parser and serializer**
Replace the two stub bodies:
```qml
function parseProfiles(text) {
const list = [];
const re = /profile\s*\{([\s\S]*?)\}/g;
let m;
while ((m = re.exec(text)) !== null) {
const body = m[1];
const t = root.getField(body, "temperature");
const g = root.getField(body, "gamma");
list.push({
time: root.getField(body, "time") ?? "",
identity: (root.getField(body, "identity") ?? "").toLowerCase() === "true",
temperature: t === null ? null : parseInt(t, 10),
gamma: g === null ? null : parseFloat(g),
});
}
return list;
}
// Byte-for-byte the same construction as sunset-qt's config.serialize():
// a list of parts joined with newlines, so a no-op save writes the file
// back exactly as it was.
function serializeProfiles(list) {
const di = root.dayIndex(list);
const ni = root.nightIndex(list);
const parts = [root.header];
for (let i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
const p = list[i];
if (i === di) parts.push("\n# day profile -- sunrise");
else if (i === ni) parts.push("\n# night profile -- sunset");
else parts.push("\n# profile");
const lines = ["profile {", ` time = ${p.time}`];
if (p.identity) lines.push(" identity = true");
if (p.temperature !== null && p.temperature !== undefined)
lines.push(` temperature = ${p.temperature}`);
if (p.gamma !== null && p.gamma !== undefined)
lines.push(` gamma = ${p.gamma}`);
lines.push("}");
parts.push(lines.join("\n"));
}
return parts.join("\n") + "\n";
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the selftest to verify it passes**
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: `SELFTEST Hyprsunset PASS`
- [ ] **Step 6: Verify against the real file (no write)**
Run: `cp ~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf /tmp/hs.conf && cat ~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf`
Expected: two profile blocks, matching the fixture shape. If it differs, note it and continue; the no-op check happens in Task 7.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/Hyprsunset.qml appearance/shell.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the hyprsunset profile model
Parses and serializes ~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf in the exact format
hyprsunset-qt writes, so both editors share the file. Location lives in
hyprsunset-qt's own INI; fetching mirrors its curl calls and browser
User-Agent. Selftest round-trips a fixture byte-for-byte."

### Task 2: Hypridle model
**Files:**
- Create: `appearance/Hypridle.qml`
- Modify: `appearance/shell.qml`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces:
- `Hypridle.listeners` : `var[]`, each `{ leading: string, timeout: int, onTimeout: string, onResume: string, enabled: bool }`
- `Hypridle.prefix: string`, `Hypridle.tail: string`
- `Hypridle.parse(text): { prefix: string, listeners: var[], tail: string }`
- `Hypridle.serialize(prefix, listeners, tail): string`
- `Hypridle.refresh()`, `.save()`, `.describe(listener): string`
- `Hypridle.selftest(): string`
- Consumes: nothing from Task 1.
**Trap:** the `on-timeout` of the dpms listener contains `{ state = ... }`, so a naive `listener\s*\{(.*?)\}` regex truncates the block. The block ends at the first line that is only whitespace then `}`, which the command's brace never is.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the model with a failing selftest**
Create `appearance/Hypridle.qml` (GPLv2 header as in Task 1):
```qml
pragma Singleton
import Quickshell
import Quickshell.Io
import QtQuick
// The hypridle side. Commands are fixed: only each listener's timeout and
// whether it is active are editable. Everything before the first listener is
// kept verbatim so the general block and the rationale comments survive.
Singleton {
id: root
readonly property string home: Quickshell.env("HOME")
readonly property string confPath: `${home}/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf`
property string prefix: ""
property var listeners: []
property string tail: ""
function getField(body, key) {
const m = body.match(new RegExp(`^\\s*${key}\\s*=\\s*(.+?)\\s*$`, "m"));
return m ? m[1] : null;
}
// A disabled listener is written every line prefixed with "# ". Strip it
// before reading fields.
function uncomment(body) {
return body.split("\n").map(l => l.replace(/^([ \t]*)#[ \t]?/, "$1")).join("\n");
}
function parse(text) {
return { prefix: text, listeners: [], tail: "" }; // STEP 3 fills this in
}
function serialize(prefix, list, tail) {
return prefix; // STEP 3 fills this in
}
function describe(l) {
const cmd = l.onTimeout;
if (cmd.indexOf("notify-send") === 0) return "notify before lock";
if (cmd.indexOf("loginctl lock-session") >= 0) return "lock session";
if (cmd.indexOf("dpms") >= 0) return "monitors off";
if (cmd.indexOf("loginctl suspend") >= 0) return "suspend";
return cmd;
}
function selftest(): string {
const fixture = String.raw`general {
lock_cmd = pidof hyprlock || hyprlock
}
# 10:00s - screen lock
listener {
timeout = 600
on-timeout = loginctl lock-session
}
# 10:30s - monitor off
listener {
timeout = 630
on-timeout = hyprctl dispatch "hl.dsp.dpms({ state = \"off\" })"
on-resume = hyprctl dispatch "hl.dsp.dpms({ state = \"on\" })"
}
`;
const p = root.parse(fixture);
if (p.listeners.length !== 2) return `SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: ${p.listeners.length} listeners`;
if (p.listeners[0].timeout !== 600 || p.listeners[0].enabled !== true)
return "SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: first listener";
if (p.listeners[1].onTimeout.indexOf(String.raw`state = \"off\"`) < 0)
return "SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: dpms command truncated";
if (p.listeners[1].onResume.indexOf(String.raw`state = \"on\"`) < 0)
return "SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: dpms on-resume lost";
if (root.serialize(p.prefix, p.listeners, p.tail) !== fixture)
return "SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: round-trip not byte-identical";
const off = p.listeners.slice();
off[1] = Object.assign({}, off[1], { enabled: false });
const p2 = root.parse(root.serialize(p.prefix, off, p.tail));
if (p2.listeners.length !== 2 || p2.listeners[1].enabled !== false ||
p2.listeners[1].timeout !== 630)
return "SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: disabled listener not round-tripped";
return "SELFTEST Hypridle PASS";
}
function refresh() {
confProc.running = false;
confProc.running = true;
}
Process {
id: confProc
command: ["cat", root.confPath]
stdout: StdioCollector {
onStreamFinished: {
const p = root.parse(text);
root.prefix = p.prefix;
root.listeners = p.listeners;
root.tail = p.tail;
}
}
}
FileView { id: confFile; path: root.confPath }
function save() {
confFile.setText(root.serialize(root.prefix, root.listeners, root.tail));
Quickshell.execDetached(["sh", "-c", "pkill -x hypridle; setsid -f hypridle"]);
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Extend the selftest IPC and run it to verify it fails**
In `appearance/shell.qml`:
```qml
function selftest(): string { return Hyprsunset.selftest() + "\n" + Hypridle.selftest(); }
```
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: the Hyprsunset line passes, then `SELFTEST Hypridle FAIL: 0 listeners`
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement parse and serialize**
```qml
// The closing brace is matched at the start of a line, because the dpms
// command contains a brace mid-line and a non-greedy match would stop
// inside it. A disabled listener has both its opening line and its closing
// brace commented, so the closing pattern allows a leading "#". The first
// listener's leading trivia is empty because its text is the prefix.
function parse(text) {
const re = /^([ \t]*)(#?)[ \t]*listener\s*\{([\s\S]*?)^[ \t]*#?[ \t]*\}/gm;
const found = [];
let firstStart = -1;
let prevEnd = 0;
let m;
while ((m = re.exec(text)) !== null) {
const start = m.index;
if (firstStart < 0) { firstStart = start; prevEnd = start; }
const leading = text.slice(prevEnd, start);
const enabled = m[2] !== "#";
const body = enabled ? m[3] : root.uncomment(m[3]);
const t = root.getField(body, "timeout");
found.push({
leading: leading,
timeout: t === null ? 0 : parseInt(t, 10),
onTimeout: root.getField(body, "on-timeout") ?? "",
onResume: root.getField(body, "on-resume") ?? "",
enabled: enabled,
});
prevEnd = start + m[0].length;
}
if (firstStart < 0) return { prefix: text, listeners: [], tail: "" };
return { prefix: text.slice(0, firstStart), listeners: found, tail: text.slice(prevEnd) };
}
function serialize(prefix, list, tail) {
let out = prefix;
for (const l of list) {
const lines = ["listener {", ` timeout = ${l.timeout}`,
` on-timeout = ${l.onTimeout}`];
if (l.onResume) lines.push(` on-resume = ${l.onResume}`);
lines.push("}");
const body = l.enabled ? lines.join("\n") : lines.map(x => "# " + x).join("\n");
out += l.leading + body;
}
return out + tail;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the selftest to verify it passes**
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: Hyprsunset PASS then `SELFTEST Hypridle PASS`
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/Hypridle.qml appearance/shell.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the hypridle listener model
Parses the general block and comments before the first listener and keeps
them verbatim; only timeouts and the enabled flag are editable, commands
are copied. Disabled listeners are written commented out, and the parser
matches the closing brace at line start so the dpms command's inline brace
does not truncate the block."
```

### Task 3: Icons model
**Files:**
- Create: `appearance/Icons.qml`
- Modify: `appearance/shell.qml`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces:
- `Icons.iconThemes: string[]`, `Icons.cursorThemes: string[]`
- `Icons.currentIcon: string`, `Icons.currentCursor: string`
- `Icons.iconPreview: var` (`name -> { iconName -> path }`), `Icons.cursorPreview: var` (`name -> path`)
- `Icons.classify(entries): { icons: string[], cursors: string[] }`
- `Icons.refresh()`, `.previewIcons()`, `.previewCursor(name)`, `.applyIcon(name)`, `.applyCursor(name)`

- [ ] **Step 2: Extend the selftest IPC and run it to verify it fails**
In `appearance/shell.qml`:
```qml
function selftest(): string {
return Hyprsunset.selftest() + "\n" + Hypridle.selftest() + "\n" + Icons.selftest();
}
```
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: three lines; the `Icons` line reports `SELFTEST Icons FAIL: icons []`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement classify and verify the selftest passes**
Replace the stub body with:
```qml
const icons = [], cursors = [];
for (const e of entries) {
if (e.cursors || e.manifest) cursors.push(e.name);
else if (e.index && /Directories=\S/.test(e.index)) icons.push(e.name);
}
const uniq = a => a.filter((v, i) => a.indexOf(v) === i).sort();
return { icons: uniq(icons), cursors: uniq(cursors) };
```
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: `SELFTEST Icons PASS`
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the icon lookup standalone**
Run:
`python3 -c 'import gi; gi.require_version("Gtk","3.0"); from gi.repository import Gtk; t=Gtk.IconTheme.new(); t.set_custom_theme("Material-Black-Plum-Suru"); print(t.lookup_icon("folder",32,0).get_filename())'`
Expected: an absolute path ending `folder.svg`. If `gi` is not importable, the icon section will be empty; report that and stop.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/Icons.qml appearance/shell.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the icon and cursor theme model
Lists themes from ~/.icons, ~/.local/share/icons and /usr/share/icons,
distinguishing cursor themes by cursors/ or manifest.hl. Icon previews
come from one GTK lookup process for every theme; cursor previews extract
left_ptr from a hyprcursor .hlc via unzip or from an Xcursor theme via
xcur2png. Application sets gsettings and the Qt configs, and rewrites the
cursor env in environment.lua."

### Task 4: Tab bar, Loader, and the Sunset tab
**Files:**
- Create: `appearance/Field.qml`, `appearance/Toggle.qml`, `appearance/SunsetTab.qml`
- Modify: `appearance/AppearancePanel.qml`, `appearance/shell.qml`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `Hyprsunset` (Task 1).
- Produces: `Field` (`value`, `placeholder`, `onEdited`), `Toggle` (`checked`, `label`), `SunsetTab` (a `Flickable`).
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the two shared controls**
`appearance/Field.qml`:
```qml
// Copyright (C) 2026 Danilo M. <danix@danix.xyz>
// GPLv2-only. See LICENSE.
import QtQuick
Rectangle {
id: field
property alias value: input.text
property string placeholder: ""
signal edited
implicitWidth: 70
height: 24
radius: 5
color: Qt.alpha(Theme.surface, 0.5)
border.width: 1
border.color: input.activeFocus ? Qt.alpha(Theme.accent, 0.6) : Qt.alpha(Theme.text, 0.12)
Text {
anchors.fill: parent
anchors.leftMargin: 6
anchors.rightMargin: 6
verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
visible: input.text === ""
text: field.placeholder
font { family: Theme.fontFamily; pixelSize: Theme.fontSize - 4 }
color: Theme.overlay
}
TextInput {

anchors.rightMargin: 6
verticalAlignment: TextInput.AlignVCenter
clip: true
selectByMouse: true
font { family: Theme.fontFamily; pixelSize: Theme.fontSize - 3 }
color: Theme.text
onEditingFinished: field.edited()
}
}
```
`appearance/Toggle.qml`:
```qml
// Copyright (C) 2026 Danilo M. <danix@danix.xyz>
// GPLv2-only. See LICENSE.
import QtQuick
Rectangle {
id: toggle
property bool checked: false
property string label: ""
signal toggled
implicitWidth: row.implicitWidth
implicitHeight: 22
color: "transparent"
Row {
id: row
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter

Rectangle {
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
width: 16; height: 16; radius: 4
color: toggle.checked ? Qt.alpha(Theme.accent, 0.7) : Qt.alpha(Theme.surface, 0.5)
border.width: 1
border.color: toggle.checked ? Qt.alpha(Theme.accent, 0.9) : Qt.alpha(Theme.text, 0.2)
Text {
anchors.centerIn: parent
visible: toggle.checked
text: "✓"
font { family: Theme.iconFamily; pixelSize: Theme.fontSize - 6; bold: true }
color: Theme.base
}
}
Text {
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
visible: toggle.label !== ""
text: toggle.label
font { family: Theme.fontFamily; pixelSize: Theme.fontSize - 4 }
color: Theme.subtext
}
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
cursorShape: Qt.PointingHandCursor
onClicked: { toggle.checked = !toggle.checked; toggle.toggled(); }
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Generalize the tab bar and key cycle**
In `appearance/AppearancePanel.qml`, add to the `Scope` (near `property string tab`):
```qml
readonly property var tabs: ["wallpaper", "theme", "sunset", "idle", "icons"]
readonly property var tabLabels: ({
wallpaper: "Wallpaper", theme: "Theme", sunset: "Sunset",
idle: "Idle", icons: "Icons",
})
```
Replace the `Keys.onPressed` body (the `Qt.Key_Tab` branch):
```qml
if (event.key === Qt.Key_Tab) {
const i = root.tabs.indexOf(root.tab);
root.tab = root.tabs[(i + 1) % root.tabs.length];
event.accepted = true;
}
```
Replace the two hardcoded `Tab` buttons in the header `Row` with:
```qml
Repeater {
model: root.tabs
Tab {
required property var modelData
text: root.tabLabels[modelData]
selected: root.tab === modelData
onClicked: root.tab = modelData
}
}
```
Replace the tab `Loader` with:
```qml
Loader {
width: parent.width
height: parent.height - y
// Existing tabs are inline Components; the new ones are
// files. sourceComponent wins when it is non-null.
sourceComponent: root.tab === "theme" ? themeTab
: root.tab === "wallpaper" ? wallpaperTab : null
source: root.tab === "sunset" ? Qt.resolvedUrl("SunsetTab.qml")
: root.tab === "idle" ? Qt.resolvedUrl("IdleTab.qml")
: root.tab === "icons" ? Qt.resolvedUrl("IconsTab.qml") : ""
}
```
In `show()`, add refreshes:
```qml
Hyprsunset.refresh();
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the sunset IPC verbs**
In `appearance/shell.qml` `IpcHandler`:
```qml
function sunset() { panel.toggle("sunset"); }
function idle() { panel.toggle("idle"); }
function icons() { panel.toggle("icons"); }
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Create the Sunset tab**
`appearance/SunsetTab.qml`:
```qml
// Copyright (C) 2026 Danilo M. <danix@danix.xyz>
// GPLv2-only. See LICENSE.

- [ ] **Step 5: Verify the tab opens and the selftest still passes**
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance sunset`
Expected: the drawer opens on the Sunset tab, showing two profile rows from the real file. Confirm the profiles match `~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf`.
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: `SELFTEST Hyprsunset PASS` (and Hypridle PASS).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/Field.qml appearance/Toggle.qml appearance/SunsetTab.qml \
appearance/AppearancePanel.qml appearance/shell.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the Sunset tab
Tab bar and Tab-key cycle become five entries, the Loader picks inline or
file tabs, and show() refreshes the model. The tab edits the profiles
in place, fetches sun times and previews through the daemon."
```

### Task 5: Idle tab
**Files:**
- Create: `appearance/IdleTab.qml`
- Modify: `appearance/AppearancePanel.qml` (`show()` refresh)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `Hypridle` (Task 2), `Toggle`, `Field`, `Tab`.
- Produces: `IdleTab` (a `Flickable`).
- [ ] **Step 1: Create the tab**
`appearance/IdleTab.qml`:
```qml

}
}
}
}
Tab {
text: "Save + Restart hypridle"
selected: true
onClicked: Hypridle.save()
}
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Refresh the model when the panel opens**
In `appearance/AppearancePanel.qml` `show()`, beside `Hyprsunset.refresh();` add:
```qml
Hypridle.refresh();
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify**
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance idle`
Expected: the drawer opens on Idle with four rows (notify before lock, lock session, monitors off, suspend) and their timeouts 570/600/630/660.
Toggle one off, run:
`qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: `SELFTEST Hypridle PASS` still.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/IdleTab.qml appearance/AppearancePanel.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the Idle tab
Rows for each listener with an enable toggle and a timeout field, the
command shown read-only. Save rewrites the file and restarts hypridle."

Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance icons`
Expected: two scrollable rows. Icon themes show four glyphs each and the current theme is marked. Cursor themes show an extracted arrow and hovering changes the real cursor, reverting on leave.
Run: `qs -p appearance ipc call appearance selftest`
Expected: all three `PASS`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/IconsTab.qml appearance/AppearancePanel.qml
git commit -m "feat(appearance): add the Icons tab
Icon themes preview four glyphs each from the GTK lookup; cursor themes
preview an extracted left_ptr and change the real cursor on hover, reverted
on leave and on close. Selection applies both."
```

### Task 7: Docs, follow-up TODOs, final verification
**Files:**
- Modify: `appearance/README.md`
- Create: `~/Programming/GIT/unified-desktop-theme/TODO-icons.md` (or append to an existing TODO if one exists)
- Create: `~/Programming/GIT/waybar-theme-udt/TODO-icons.md` (same)
- Modify: no code.
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: the finished tabs.
- Produces: documentation and tracked follow-ups.
- [ ] **Step 1: Update the README**
In `appearance/README.md`, extend the tab diagram line and add a section:
````markdown
┌─[ Wallpaper ]─[ Theme ]─[ Sunset ]─[ Idle ]─[ Icons ]──┐
````
Add under `## Running it`:
```markdown
IPC verbs: `wallpaper`, `theme`, `sunset`, `idle`, `icons`.
## Sunset
A port of `hyprsunset-qt` (`~/Programming/GIT/sunset-qt`): profiles in
`~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf`, location in
`~/.config/hyprsunset-qt/config`, sunrise/sunset from the same API and cache.
Both apps read and write the identical file format, so either can edit it.
## Idle
Timeout and enabled only; the commands in `~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf` are
fixed. Everything before the first `listener` (the `general` block and the
comments explaining the design) is preserved verbatim. A disabled listener is
written commented out. Save restarts `hypridle`, which resets its timers.
## Icons
Switches the icon and cursor theme. Icon previews come from a GTK lookup per
theme; cursor previews extract `left_ptr` from a hyprcursor `.hlc` with
`unzip` or from an Xcursor theme with `xcur2png`, and hovering changes the real
cursor. Applying writes `gsettings`, the Qt configs, and for cursors
`environment.lua`; apps and a relogin are needed to see the rest. The theme
name is still hardcoded in `unified-desktop-theme`, `waybar-theme-udt` and
rofi, which is tracked as a follow-up in those repos.
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the follow-up TODOs**
Check each repo for an existing TODO file (`ls ~/Programming/GIT/unified-desktop-theme ~/Programming/GIT/waybar-theme-udt`). If one exists, append; otherwise create `TODO-icons.md` in each with:
```markdown
# Unhardcode the icon theme
The active icon theme name `Material-Black-Plum-Suru` is hardcoded here. The
appearance drawer's Icons tab now switches it through gsettings and the Qt
configs, but these files do not follow, so a switch is silently reverted.
Replace the hardcoded name with a read of
`gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme`.
Known sites:
- unified-desktop-theme: `templates/qt-gtk/qt5ct.conf`, `qt6ct.conf`,
`gtk3-settings.ini`
- waybar-theme-udt: `bin/wb-icon` (the `THEME` constant),
`modules/extras/taskbar.jsonc`, `install.sh`
- rofi: `~/.config/rofi/config.rasi`
- `~/.config/hypr/hyprqt6engine.conf`
- `~/.local/share/applications/firefox-clean.desktop`
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Final verification, real saves**
```bash
cp ~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf /tmp/hs.before
cp ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf /tmp/hi.before
cp ~/.config/hypr/sections/environment.lua /tmp/env.before
```
Open the Sunset tab, press Save + Restart with no edits, then:
Run: `diff /tmp/hs.before ~/.config/hypr/hyprsunset.conf`
Expected: no output (byte-identical). Repeat for Idle. For the cursor, applying any theme is expected to change `environment.lua`; confirm with `diff /tmp/env.before ~/.config/hypr/sections/environment.lua` that only the two cursor lines changed, then set it back.
- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm the daemons still run**
Run: `pgrep -x hyprsunset; pgrep -x hypridle`
Expected: one PID each.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add appearance/README.md
git commit -m "docs(appearance): document the Sunset, Idle and Icons tabs
Records the IPC verbs, the shared hyprsunset.conf format, the preserved
hypridle comments, and the preview mechanisms. The hardcoded icon theme in
udt, waybar and rofi is tracked as a TODO in those repos."
```
Note: the `TODO-icons.md` files live in other repos and are committed there separately, not in this plan's commits.

## Self-review
- **Spec coverage:** tab bar/IPC (Task 4), Sunset full mirror (Tasks 1, 4), Idle timeouts+toggle+comment preservation (Tasks 2, 5), Icons lists/preview/apply (Tasks 3, 6), README + cross-repo TODOs (Task 7), selftests (Tasks 1-3), verified traps (Global Constraints, Task 2). All spec sections map to a task.
- **Placeholder scan:** no TBD/TODO steps; every code step has full code.
- **Type consistency:** `parseProfiles`/`serializeProfiles` names are used consistently; `Hypridle.parse`/`serialize` signatures match between the selftest and Task 5's use; `Icons.classify` field names (`index`, `cursors`, `manifest`) match the scan and the selftest. `Field.value`/`Toggle.checked` match the tab code.
- **Fixed during self-review:** the sunset fixture gained the two blank lines after the header that sunset-qt's serializer actually emits; the idle parser's first-listener leading trivia no longer duplicates the prefix, and its closing-brace pattern tolerates a commented brace; `Icons` writes configs through `FileView` instead of shell `sed`, so no quoting can corrupt them; `previewCursor` assigns `themeName` before running and no longer concatenates raw zip bytes on an `.hlc` without an SVG; `IconsTab` references the delegate by `id`.
- **Open risk:** the mixed `Loader` (inline `sourceComponent` for theme/wallpaper, `source` for the new tabs) relies on `sourceComponent` taking precedence when non-null. If a tab switch between an inline and a file tab misbehaves during Task 4, fall back to `source`-only by moving `themeTab` and `wallpaperTab` into `ThemeTab.qml` and `WallpaperTab.qml`; the change is mechanical.
