** 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= |

** 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
