"Moving the selection applies the theme" is a sentence; twenty-six seconds of a session changing colour under a list is the claim itself. demos/themes.py: a sidebar session with two tabs and a build pane that says it is busy (so the spinner is in shot, turning in whatever colour the theme being tried says it should), `cat config.kdl` showing a config that names a theme and holds no colours at all, then C-a t -- the list, two themes worn rather than swatched, `pho` typed to narrow, C-s writing the one line, a second `cat` proving it wrote that line and nothing else, and finally a browse that ends in Escape, which puts back what was worn. Two rules the demo had to obey, both now in PLAN.md beside the other lessons: only dark themes, because cells slosh does not paint keep the terminal's own background and the cast header fixes that once -- `paper` would look broken in the player and fine in a light terminal; and nothing on screen may carry this machine, so the themes are copied next to the temp config rather than pointed at with `theme_dir`, leaving a `cat` frame that reads as a name and a directory nobody has to have. The step slots after "make it yours, live", which is where a reader has just been shown a config being edited by hand and is best placed to notice that a theme is one word of it. Casts are built at publish time, so build-site picks the new one up with no wiring. 2026-09-10T14:32:10Z user user@clank 2026-09-10T14:32:10Z urn:sha1:a2d08f4876226446c0052f033e8afea2f2ffbbf1 Three columns of indent is a fifth of a sixteen-column sidebar, spent saying 'this belongs to the row above'. The slant says it in none: a status now starts in the same column its tab's name starts in, and is set in italic. That also survives the monochrome themes in contrib, where a colour-only distinction would have had nothing to spend. tab_status_fg / tab_status_bg are there for themes that do have colour to spend. The fg follows tab_count when a theme does not name it -- the same declared/derived split apply_scrolled makes -- so the six themes in contrib get coherent status rows without a line added to any of them. The bg is unset by default, because a band is opt-in and 'none' is what a translucent terminal wants; the row is padded so a band that *is* set covers the row rather than the words on it. Two things fell out. The padding loop existed three times and is now pad_cells. And cb_color wrote #000000 for an unset colour, so quietly pinned attach_bg -- 'gray ink on the terminal's own background', says its comment -- to a black band. Unset colours are now written commented out, the same trick the states block uses for what it wants re-derived rather than pinned. 2026-09-03T17:19:58Z user user@clank 2026-09-03T17:19:58Z urn:sha1:8dab8bd4abf96dd1b05267e0ca853fa07bd377a2 The stage-resident logo copy goes: instead the top section itself -- logo and buttons -- is position: sticky below 54rem, full-bleed, with the tour's stage tucked under it at --hero-h, which the page script measures (wrapping buttons make it no fixed number; a ResizeObserver keeps it honest). The tagline yields the room: with the header on screen at all times, every line it keeps is a line the tour loses. Desktop is exactly as before -- the floating logo, its observers and its collision test untouched. 2026-09-03T17:16:01Z user user@clank 2026-09-03T17:16:01Z urn:sha1:02246aa9542340d5ea62121899432b7ad4273e5e Below 54rem the fixed corner the float centres itself in is content, not air, so the float stays hidden there -- but the logo can ride where the terminal does: a small copy inside the sticky stage, above the player, on screen at all times. No observer, no collision test; it sticks with the stage. Same link back to the top, same wash and shine (the shared rules now name both), same reduced-motion fallback. 2026-09-02T18:18:10Z user user@clank 2026-09-02T18:18:10Z urn:sha1:dc72a22da1b24ffb835681a1a8e771365020041b 2026-09-02T14:44:54Z user user@clank 2026-09-02T14:44:54Z urn:sha1:899b8c9d5753561088512cdb5b5a2b67c6d50704 The pacman.conf section and the install command each get their own box (one copies config, the other a command; sharing a box made the copy button copy neither cleanly), and ghostty-terminfo moves from the aside into the install box as a commented optional line, marked x86_64-only -- extra does not build it for aarch64, where slosh's self-installed ~/.terminfo copy is the whole story. 2026-09-02T14:40:32Z user user@clank 2026-09-02T14:40:32Z urn:sha1:abc2ee66fac8112c204e1f10df6741b4af25c416 optdepends says it at install time, the README and the install tab say it before. Our package deliberately does not ship the file: extra/ghostty-terminfo owns that path, and two packages must not. Without either, slosh's own ~/.terminfo copy covers it. pkgrel=2, both architectures rebuilt and republished. 2026-09-02T13:21:52Z user user@clank 2026-09-02T13:21:52Z urn:sha1:670add69317750ebc62f92662ea55d2e42439334 Stamped by build-site from ./VERSION, which the release invariant keeps equal to the newest tag -- so the page cannot advertise a version that was never cut, and nothing is bumped by hand. 2026-09-02T13:20:50Z user user@clank 2026-09-02T13:20:50Z urn:sha1:aea3e11f4cfa233db008076365e08a401c0e02a1
