# unified-desktop-theme

A single visual identity for a Hyprland desktop: Catppuccin Macchiato as the
fixed base, Noto Sans for UI text, Inconsolata Nerd Font Mono for monospace.

The accent color follows the current wallpaper, but is always snapped to a real
Macchiato accent, so it can never render as unreadable.

Phase 1 covers rofi. Later phases extend the same palette to waybar, dunst,
conky, hyprland and quickshell.

Quickshell reads the palette rather than restating it: `udt-accent` writes
`~/.cache/wal/udt-palette.qml` from `rofi/udt/palette.rasi`, and the
components in the `quickshell` repo watch that file, so editing the palette
here recolours them without a restart.

## Layout

    rofi/udt/          the theme files
    bin/udt-accent     wallpaper accent extractor

Both are installed by symlink, so the repo holds the canonical copies:

    ./install.sh

## Design

See `docs/superpowers/specs/` for the design spec and the reasoning behind
each decision, including why accent extraction is deliberately isolated from
the pywal cache.

## Development Approach

This project is developed using AI-assisted tools. Code is generated with the help of AI based on human-provided specifications, design decisions, and iterative feedback.

All contributions are reviewed, tested, and curated by the maintainer before being included in the codebase. AI is used as a productivity and exploration tool, while human oversight remains central to all decisions.

The goal is to combine the flexibility of AI-assisted development with standard open-source practices such as transparency, review, and accountability.
