visitor@stylekit:~$ cat overview.txt
Developer Terminal borrows the language of the shell:
prompts instead of headings, stdout instead of paragraphs,
stderr instead of error banners, and a cursor that never stops blinking.
# zero gradients. zero photos. one hundred percent monospace.
# five colors, five meanings -- color is syntax, not decoration
visitor@stylekit:~$ cat /etc/theme.conf
# one family, many weights -- the mono scale
visitor@stylekit:~$ man typography
# hero -- text-2xl md:text-4xl font-bold
$ echo hello, world
# h2 -- text-lg md:text-xl font-bold
## Subheading as a markdown echo
# body -- text-sm, phosphor green on near-black
Body copy is stdout. It wraps at a comfortable measure, keeps its line-height tight, and never switches families. Inline paths/are/cyan, inline "strings are amber", and keywords are magenta.
# comment -- text-xs text-[#6272A4]
# everything after a hash is for humans, not the shell
# buttons are executables -- primary is inverted, danger is magenta
visitor@stylekit:~$ ls /usr/bin/actions
# hover shifts background alpha only -- no scale, no translate, no shadow
# click a command to execute it -- output renders below
