05 — Glitch Core theme
Semantic colours from the active glitch-lime theme
CONFIG Active scheme: glitch-lime / professional / dark / expressive.
Core palette
Section titled “Core palette”#121225#1D1C38#242247#E6E3F2#8A80E8#B9B2F2#B7FF3C#F0847CLime is reserved for active, successful, or system states. Indigo carries navigation and focus; lavender is secondary emphasis. Red is reserved for errors and dangerous actions. GTK uses adw-gtk3-dark, icons use Vivid-Glassy-Dark-Icons, and the cursor is catppuccin-macchiato-lavender-cursors at size 24.
Operational theme model
Section titled “Operational theme model”Caelestia scheme state, GTK settings/CSS, Kitty colours, Hyprland borders, icons, cursor, and wallpaper are related visual layers—not one interchangeable file. A correct Caelestia scheme beside different GTK widget colours can indicate precedence or a toolkit boundary rather than a corrupt theme.
When appearance diverges, identify one affected toolkit, inspect its configured source, and compare it with the active scheme. Back up that source, change one semantic role, reload only the affected component, and check focused, inactive, warning, and text states. Roll back the single file or value if contrast or consistency worsens. Never infer that an application reads a palette merely because its colours look similar.
