Add independent AppLog message types and explicit Class 1/2 severity. Wrap and color log rows, pin Class 1 above Class 2, and let acknowledgement return entries to the current-launch timeline without changing file format or rotation. Ref: https://logtape.org/manual/levels

# Themes — index
|
|
|
|
The single source of the dark UI theme. See [`schema.md`](../schema.md) for the
|
|
memory-map conventions.
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `Controls.xaml` | All custom control styles/templates: `YtButton`, `YtButtonSecondary`, `IconButton`, `YtTextBox`, `YtTextBoxCompact` (the dense variant the properties panel uses), `YtComboBox`/`YtComboBoxItem` and `YtQualityComboBoxItem` (paid tiers dim but remain clickable), `YtCheckBox`, scrollbar/slider/tooltip/context-menu/menu-item/separator/list-item (implicit where app-wide), `YtListBoxItem`, `YtLabel`, `SectionHeader`, and `AppLogEntryText` (wraps and colors by message type and explicit error class) |
|
|
|
|
How it's wired:
|
|
- Merged once in [`App.xaml`](../App.xaml) — app-wide. New windows get the theme
|
|
automatically; **do not re-merge per-window**.
|
|
- Palette: window `#1a1a2e`, fields `#0f3460`, borders `#2a3a5e`, popups
|
|
`#16213e`, accent `#e94560`, hover `#26ffffff`, text `#e0e0e0`.
|
|
|
|
Gotchas learned the hard way:
|
|
- `MenuItemRole` has **no `Separator` value** — separators are standalone
|
|
`Separator` controls with their own implicit style.
|
|
- A custom `ComboBox` template must put the `ContentPresenter` (`SelectionBoxItem`)
|
|
**inside the ComboBox template, not the ToggleButton template** — the latter
|
|
resolves against the wrong TemplatedParent and renders nothing.
|
|
- **A control with no style renders with the LIGHT WPF system template** — a
|
|
hand-painted `Background`/`Foreground` colours the box but leaves the system
|
|
border, the system arrow and the white popup list. That is why the Stream
|
|
Alerts "Display" drop-down looked like it belonged to another app (TASK 58,
|
|
2026-10-21). **Rule: every control carries a theme style** — `YtComboBox`,
|
|
`YtCheckBox`, `YtTextBox`/`YtTextBoxCompact` — and paints no colour of its
|
|
own. `ytLive.Tests/PropertiesStyleTests.cs` fails if that drifts back.
|
|
⚠️ **But that guard sees only those control TYPES** — a picker built as a
|
|
`Button` + a code-built `ContextMenu` is invisible to it (the border-colour
|
|
picker was exactly that, TASK 63). A picker that LOOKS like a drop-down must
|
|
BE the app's drop-down.
|
|
- **The `YtComboBox` popup sizes to its CONTENT, not to the ComboBox** (measured
|
|
2026-10-21: the border-colour popup came out 142.7px wide against a 100px
|
|
ComboBox) — a long row is never clipped, and the popup may be wider than the
|
|
closed box. Measure, don't guess.
|
|
- **The closed box and the rows of a ComboBox can only differ through an
|
|
`ItemTemplateSelector`** — WPF copies `ItemTemplate` into the read-only
|
|
`SelectionBoxItemTemplate`, so one template renders in both places. The
|
|
selector is told them apart by the `ContentPresenter`'s templated parent
|
|
(`ComboBox` = closed box, `ComboBoxItem` = a row) — see
|
|
`Helpers/ClosedBoxTemplateSelector.cs`.

styles), the XAML files at repo root that consume these styles.
