Apex Theme System

"State over Decoration."

Apex is a semantic theme system designed for high-performance focus and clinical clarity. It moves away from purely aesthetic color choices, treating color as a functional tool to communicate system state, urgency, and user intent.

The system consists of two primary canvases:

• Apex Neon: A high-contrast dark theme for low-light focus.
• Apex Aeon: A clinical, high-clarity light theme for daylight precision.

The Apex DNA

Apex is built on a unified semantic discipline where every color has a specific role:

• Red is the Predator: Reserved for active intent, the cursor, current location, and critical errors. It signals "Live Fire."
• Cyan is Informational: Used for technical data, links, and neutral highlights.
• Purple is Sacred: Reserved for root access, special modes, or exceptional system states.
• Contrast is King: Non-negotiable rules for readability (e.g., Black text on Red backgrounds).

Project Structure

• src/: Source YAML definitions containing the "DNA" of the themes.
• templates/: Jinja2 templates for generating configuration files for various tools (Alacritty, Neovim, Zed, etc.).
• dist/: Compiled theme files ready for deployment.
• apex-neon.md / apex-aeon.md: Detailed specifications for each theme.
