#+DESCRIPTION: Complete color reference for the Dupre theme across all applications.

* Color Palette

The Dupre theme originates from =dupre-theme.el= in Emacs. It is a warm, earthy dark theme built around goldenrod/amber accents on a near-black background.

** Foot Terminal

Source: =dotfiles/hyprland/.config/themes/dupre/foot.ini=

Uses the full 16-color terminal palette (see table above).

| Element    | Color     |
|------------+-----------|
| Background | =#151311= |
| Foreground | =#f0fef0= |
| Cursor fg  | =#151311= |
| Cursor bg  | =#d7af5f= |

** Fuzzel (Application Launcher)

Source: =dotfiles/hyprland/.config/themes/dupre/fuzzel.ini=

Format: =RRGGBBAA= (no =#= prefix).

| Element        | Color         |
|----------------+---------------|
| Background     | =151311f0=    |
| Text           | =f0fef0ff=    |
| Selection bg   | =d7af5fff=    |
| Selection text | =151311ff=    |
| Border         | =d7af5fff=    |
| Match          | =d7af5fff=    |
| Prompt         | =969385ff=    |
| Placeholder    | =6c6a60ff=    |
| Input          | =f0fef0ff=    |

** Dunst (Notifications)

Source: =dotfiles/hyprland/.config/themes/dupre/dunstrc=

| Element            | Color       |
|--------------------+-------------|
| Foreground         | =#f0fef0=   |
| Frame              | =#d7af5f=   |

| Critical bg        | =#7c2a09f0= |
| Critical frame     | =#d47c59=   |
| Critical highlight | =#ff2a00=   |

** Xresources (X11 / Emacs / st / xterm)

Source: =dotfiles/hyprland/.config/themes/dupre/Xresources=

Uses C preprocessor =#define= macros for the 16-color palette, then applies via =theme_*= aliases to st and xterm resources. Emacs reads these via =xrdb=.

** GTK and Qt

| Setting             | Value              |
|---------------------+--------------------|
| GTK theme           | Adwaita-dark       |
| Qt theme            | Adwaita-Dark       |
| Qt method           | adwaita-qt5/qt6, QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE |
| Icon theme          | Papirus-Dark       |
| Cursor theme        | capitaine-cursors-light |
| Cursor size         | 24                 |

GTK and Qt use system dark themes rather than custom Dupre colors. This provides consistent widget styling from well-maintained themes while Dupre handles terminal, bar, and compositor colors.

* Font

| Setting | Value                      |
|---------+----------------------------|
| Family  | BerkeleyMono Nerd Font     |
| Size    | 13pt (terminal, launcher, notifications) |
| Waybar  | 14px (CSS pixels)          |

Point-based configs (foot, fuzzel, dunst, Xresources) use 13pt. Waybar CSS uses 14px. Hyprlock uses 64pt (clock) and 36pt (username) for lock screen readability.

* Theme Infrastructure

** Theme Directory

=~/.config/themes/dupre/= contains per-application config files:

| File           | Application       |
|----------------+-------------------|
| =foot.ini=     | Foot terminal     |
| =fuzzel.ini=   | Fuzzel launcher   |
| =waybar.css=   | Waybar status bar |
| =dunstrc=      | Dunst notifications |
| =hyprland.conf= | Hyprland borders |
| =hyprlock.conf= | Hyprlock screen  |
| =Xresources=   | X11 apps / Emacs  |

** Switching Themes

=set-theme= (=~/.local/bin/set-theme=) copies theme configs into place, applies Hyprland/hy3 colors via =hyprctl=, merges Xresources, and reloads waybar and dunst.

#+begin_src sh
set-theme dupre           # apply dupre
set-theme --toggle        # toggle between dupre and hudson
set-theme --pick          # fuzzel picker
set-theme --current       # print current theme name
#+end_src

Keybindings: =$mod+Y= toggles, =$mod+Shift+Y= opens picker.

** Adding a New Theme

1. Create =~/.config/themes/<name>/= with all seven config files
2. Add a case block in =set-theme= for Hyprland/hy3 runtime colors
3. The theme will appear automatically in =set-theme --list= and the fuzzel picker

* Palette Image

=assets/color-themes/dupre/dupre-palette.png= is a visual reference of the palette. Regenerate with:

#+begin_src sh
assets/color-themes/generate-palette.sh
#+end_src
