Domain:
- AppearanceSettings gains translucency_pct (u8, 0..=100, default 40)
with a clamping setter and serde round-trip coverage.
- DEFAULT_TRANSLUCENCY_PCT and MAX_TRANSLUCENCY_PCT exported for the
shell.
Core:
- BrowserCore::set_translucency_pct delegates to the appearance struct;
the existing reset_appearance covers the reset path.
- Integration test covers persistence into snapshot.appearance.
Render:
- chrome::sidebar::panel_bg(snapshot) replaces the static PANEL_BG
constant, mapping the user's translucency_pct linearly into the alpha
byte 0xff..0xb3. Sidebar (expanded + compact) and main pane consume
the helper so changing the setting at runtime updates every glass
surface in lock-step.
Form:
- Translucency row in chrome::appearance_form mirrors the design's
static track + thumb visual driven by the persisted percentage, plus
three preset chips (Solid 0 / Default 40 / Glassy 75) that mutate the
setting through shell.set_translucency_pct.
Strict UX rule preserved: alpha never drops below 0xb3 so panels stay
readable without backdrop blur (which GPUI 0.2.2 doesn't expose).
- AppearanceSettings derives Default instead of carrying a manual impl
that's identical to the derived one.
- topbar::render_lock_or_search collapses the duplicated Search arms
into a single fallback so clippy stops flagging identical blocks.
- command_overlay row helpers bundle id/title/hint/keys into a small
CommandRowContent struct so render_row, render_row_with_glyph, and
render_row_inner stay under the 7-arg threshold without losing any
call-site clarity.
Introduces a small persistent appearance contract: WallpaperTheme
(Dawn/Violet/Mint/Slate), ThemeMode (System/Light/Dark), reduce_motion.
Defaults to Dawn + System + motion-on. Field accessors and setters live
on the struct so the core can mutate without exposing internals; serde
support uses kebab-case so the on-disk form matches the design CSS
naming.
Tests cover defaults, mutation independence, and a JSON round-trip with
the kebab-case names. serde_json is added as a dev-dependency only —
the production crate does not depend on it.
