The shell was running two unrelated palettes: an amber one (#FFD063 accent,
#EEEEEE text, #0F1012 panels) hardcoded as ~200 raw hex literals across the
launchers, sidebar, systray, vitals and notifications, and an orange one
(#e8722a) that only the dense bar had, tokenized as per-file properties.
This unifies on the ORANGE values under the AMBER naming scheme, and moves the
lot into widgets/theme/Theme.qml. `surface` takes the dense bar's void
(#0a0a0a) rather than the old panel background. Zero color and font literals
remain anywhere under widgets/ outside Theme.qml.
Collisions resolved, all near-duplicates that wanted to be one token:
- #0F1012 + #0A0A0C + #0a0a0a -> surface
- #EEEEEE + #dedede -> text
- #7A7B7D + #858585 -> muted
- #292C30 + #22262C -> raised
- #FFD063 + #e8722a -> accent
Two derived things rather than literals. accentSoft (the pale flash the
top/bottom bars show while a launcher is open) was a hand-picked #FFF3C0
against amber, which is simply wrong against orange; it is now
Qt.tint(accent, white 55%), a ratio checked against the original (amber tinted
55% gives #FFE9B8 vs the hand-picked #FFF3C0). And the dense bar had been
hand-encoding Qt.rgba(0.87,0.87,0.87,a) and Qt.rgba(0.91,0.45,0.16,a), which
are just text and accent at alpha -- now textAlpha(a)/accentAlpha(a), so they
track a palette change instead of silently drifting.
Fonts came along too. Digital-7 Mono is dropped for DepartureMono: it was
never packaged, relying on a manual ~/.dots/fonts/digital_7 install that does
not exist on terra, so `fc-match "Digital-7 Mono"` resolved to DejaVu Sans and
all 38 of those sites -- the launcher lists, sidebar clock, systray labels,
every vitals readout -- were silently rendering in a PROPORTIONAL fallback.
Numeric columns should visibly improve. readoutFont is an alias of displayFont
rather than a second literal so the two roles cannot drift apart.
quickshell/CLAUDE.md updated: it said "No shared theme/tokens file yet" and
told contributors to grep for the existing hex color, which would now
reintroduce exactly what this removes.
Verified: no file references Theme. without the import, none imports it
unused, and the whole shell -- launchers, sidebar, vitals, systray,
notifications, not just the harness -- hot-reloaded clean on terra.
tests/HeadlessSmoke.qml deliberately keeps its own copies; its value is having
no dependencies.

The dense bar's panel chrome gets a squarer outline (top-right and bottom-left
chamfers only, square on the other two corners) and a second accent line in
the lower right to balance the existing upper-left one.
The chrome then moves out of DenseBarContent's inline `component
TelemetryPanel` into its own file. The call sites are unchanged apart from the
name -- children still come from the default property -- and the widgets they
pass in (RadarGauge, NetworkTrace, MetricBlock) stay declared in
DenseBarContent, so their scope is unaffected by moving only the definition.
Two things could not come along and had to be reproduced locally, because a
component in its own file has no access to the enclosing scope:
- the palette and the two font families, previously read off `root`. They
are properties with defaults matching DenseBarContent's, which is this
repo's per-component convention. Duplicated on purpose for now; a shared
theme singleton is the place to collapse it.
- MicroText, which is an *inline* component of DenseBarContent and so
invisible from another file. Expanded to the Text it desugars to.
Also qualified the bare offsetY/chamfer/accentLineThickness references as
panel.*; they resolved through the component scope before, but being explicit
avoids ComponentBehavior: Bound warnings in the new file.
Verified the move was verbatim by normalising the old inline block and the new
file body and diffing them -- the only differences are the relocated property
block, the panel.* qualification and the MicroText expansion. Loads clean both
headlessly and in the real layer-shell shell.
