Two things anyone installing v0.1.0 would have hit.
The per-user files were listed in install-assets.sh as installed 'by
hand', which meant a clean machine logged in to a bare compositor with
nothing drawn on it and no binding that opened anything. They are now
installed as a skeleton under share/hyprcosmic/skel, laid out exactly as
they sit under ~/.config, and the session copies what is missing at
login. The audit still forces every file under config/ into exactly one
list, so this could not be quietly skipped again.
theme.css, theme.rasi and local.rasi are new and deliberately empty. They
are the relative @imports of style.css and config.rasi, and a missing
@import is fatal to both consumers rather than a warning they skip: GTK
fails the whole stylesheet, and rofi reports the error in place of the
launcher. Every colour they could define already has a default from
palette.css and palette.rasi, so empty is the correct content until
import-theme writes them. style.css's own header has promised 'a sibling
file we create at install time' since it was written; now there is one.
Recommends: nerd-fonts named a package that is in no Fedora repository,
so it could never be satisfied and the font never arrived -- silently,
which is what Recommends does when it cannot resolve. Fedora has no Nerd
Font at all: texlive-inconsolata-nerd-font lands under texmf-dist and
kitty's SymbolsNerdFont under /usr/lib64/kitty, and fontconfig scans
neither. Recommend font(notosansmono) instead, the fallback rules.rasi
already names, and say in the README how to install the glyphs by hand.
`rofi -show drun` came up unstyled. Three separate reasons, all of them
invisible: `import-theme` wrote ~/.config/rofi/theme.rasi, but rofi only ever
auto-loads config.rasi and nothing imported theme.rasi; theme.rasi holds a
HyDE palette and nothing else, no widget geometry at all; and no layout was
shipped anywhere for it to colour.
The layering mirrors what config/waybar already does, for the same reason --
a theme supplies colours, and the layout has to survive being handed a theme
that defines only some of them:
1. palette.rasi defaults, under the exact names HyDE themes use
2. theme.rasi the installed theme's rofi.theme, written by cosmic-conf
3. rules.rasi geometry and layout, with no colour literals at all
4. local.rasi per-machine paths: sidebar wallpaper, icon theme
Later imports win, so a theme recolours the launcher without rules.rasi
knowing a theme exists, and a machine points at its own wallpaper without
either of them knowing the path. Unlike waybar there is no bridge step: a HyDE
rofi.theme defines the names rules.rasi already references.
1 and 3 are shared and go under /usr/share/hyprcosmic/rofi. 2 and 4 must be
per-user, and config.rasi with them: it imports those two relatively, and rofi
resolves a relative @import against the importing file's directory.
rules.rasi is HyDE's style_1 with three deliberate departures, documented in
its header. HyDE computes the border width, radius and font in rofilaunch.sh
before invoking rofi; there is no launcher script here -- the keybinding runs
`rofi -show drun` bare -- so those are baked in. The sidebar image moves to
local.rasi because HyDE's ~/.cache/hyde/wall.thmb does not exist outside HyDE.
And dummywall gets `background-color: @main-bg` rather than transparent, so a
machine with no wallpaper set shows a panel instead of a hole.
The display-* labels are Nerd Font glyphs copied byte-for-byte out of
style_1.rasi. They are Private Use Area codepoints and do not survive being
retyped; verified as U+F303, U+F120, U+F07B, U+F2D0, each followed by a thin
space, and confirmed present in JetBrainsMono Nerd Font via
`fc-list :charset=`.
Verified with `rofi -dump-theme` and `-dump-config`: both exit 0 with empty
stderr, and the merged dump shows the Tokyo Night theme's main-bg beating the
palette default.
