From 7b55910a786c7652ac80a576399ebd9f81a8ac72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:20:50 +0200 Subject: feat(palette): generate every themed config from one scheme Colours were written down five times: rofi's palette.rasi, the waybar theme, the kitty theme, the conky and dunst templates, and a MACCHIATO dict inside udt-accent. Changing scheme meant finding all five, and they had already drifted: the active waybar theme was Macchiato while theme.css next to it was Mocha, and nothing imported the latter. Now a scheme is two files. palette/.conf holds the colours under the scheme's own names, and palette/roles-.conf says what each is for. palette/roles.conf is one `scheme =` line selecting the pair. bin/udt-palette renders that into each consumer's syntax and install.sh runs it first. The role map is per-scheme rather than shared because the palettes are genuinely different shapes: Nord has no `base`, Dracula no `surface0`, and forcing Catppuccin's names onto them would have meant either renaming their colours or inventing values. A role names a palette colour with two optional modifiers, `name/75` for alpha and `name*50` for brightness. The second exists because GTK's shade() has no palette name to point at. Ships macchiato, tokyo-night, nord and dracula. --selftest resolves every role in every scheme and asserts they define the same set, so a scheme that cannot satisfy a consumer fails at install rather than when someone switches to it. Verified against the live configs: all 46 waybar colours resolve identically to the previously active theme including its alpha() and shade() derivations, the kitty theme is colour-for-colour identical, and the rofi palette has the same 26 values. Generated files are gitignored; switching scheme and switching back reproduces the originals.
