# makeover
Shared theme loading for the make-family apps. Parses theme metadata and color values from `.toml` files on disk, resolves them into intent-based tokens, and derives the rest perceptually (OKLab) with WCAG contrast checks.
The crate ships the theme set it loads, in `themes/`. Consumers get working themes from a clean checkout without depending on any sibling repo.
Used by MNW server, GoingsOn, Balanced Breakfast, audiofiles, and Alloy.
## Usage
```rust
use makeover::{load_theme, list_themes_from_dirs, bundled_themes_dir};
use std::path::PathBuf;
// Set up theme directories (later entries override earlier ones)
let bundled = bundled_themes_dir().expect("makeover ships themes/");
let custom = PathBuf::from("/path/to/user/custom-themes");
let dirs = vec![(bundled, false), (custom, true)];
// List available themes (sorted by name)
let themes = list_themes_from_dirs(&dirs);
for t in &themes {
println!("{} ({}, {})", t.name, t.id, t.variant);
}
// Load a specific theme by ID
let theme = load_theme(&dirs, "catppuccin-mocha").unwrap();
println!("Name: {}", theme.meta.name); // "Catppuccin Mocha"
println!("Variant: {}", theme.meta.variant); // "dark"
println!("BG: {}", theme.colors["background.primary"]); // "#181825"
// Build-from-source fallback: the themes this crate ships
if let Some(dir) = bundled_themes_dir() {
// dir = <makeover checkout>/themes
}
```
## Theme File Format
Theme files are TOML with four color sections. See `themes/` for the 31 bundled themes.
```toml
# Attribution comment (optional, for credit)
# Based on Catppuccin by Catppuccin Org -- MIT License
[meta]
name = "Theme Name" # Display name (required)
variant = "dark" # "dark", "light", or "high-contrast" (default: "dark")
[background]
primary = "#181825" # Main background
secondary = "#11111b" # Sidebar / panel background (optional)
tertiary = "#313244" # Hover / selection background (optional)
surface = "#1e1e2e" # Card / elevated surface (optional)
[foreground]
primary = "#cdd6f4" # Main text
secondary = "#bac2de" # Secondary text (optional)
muted = "#9399b2" # Placeholder / disabled text (optional)
[accent]
red = "#f38ba8" # Error, destructive actions
green = "#a6e3a1" # Success, positive actions
blue = "#89b4fa" # Links, primary accent
yellow = "#f9e2af" # Warnings
purple = "#cba6f7" # Tags, special elements
cyan = "#89dceb" # Info, secondary accent
[border]
default = "#45475a" # Default border color
```
### Color Key Flattening
Colors are loaded into a flat `HashMap<String, String>` with dotted keys:
```
"background.primary" -> "#181825"
"foreground.muted" -> "#9399b2"
"accent.blue" -> "#89b4fa"
"border.default" -> "#45475a"
```
Apps map these keys to CSS variables or egui color values.
### Theme ID
The theme ID is the filename without `.toml` (e.g., `catppuccin-mocha.toml` has ID `catppuccin-mocha`). IDs must contain only alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. Path traversal characters are rejected.
## API
| `list_themes_from_dirs(dirs)` | Scan directories for `.toml` files, return sorted `Vec<ThemeMeta>` |
| `load_theme(dirs, id)` | Load a theme by ID, returning `ThemeColors` (metadata + color map) |
| `find_theme_path(dirs, id)` | Find the file path for a theme ID (highest-priority directory wins) |
| `parse_meta(id, table, is_custom)` | Parse `[meta]` from a TOML table into `ThemeMeta` |
| `extract_colors(table)` | Flatten color sections into a `HashMap<String, String>` |
| `validate_theme_id(id)` | Check that an ID contains only safe characters |
| `bundled_themes_dir()` | The `themes/` directory this crate ships, for build-from-source fallback |
## Directory Priority
`list_themes_from_dirs` and `load_theme` accept a list of `(PathBuf, bool)` pairs. Later directories override earlier ones by theme ID. The `bool` marks whether the directory contains user-custom themes (`is_custom` on `ThemeMeta`).
Typical setup for a Tauri app:
1. Bundled themes, packaged by the app or from `bundled_themes_dir()` (is_custom = false)
2. User themes from an app data directory (is_custom = true)
