Grew /admin/theme from colours-only to a full theme editor, all applied
live via website_settings + ThemeVars:
- Typography: body font (10 web-safe + Google options; Google fonts load
via an injected <link>) and H1/H2/H3 sizes (globals.css now reads
--size-heading-* vars).
- Buttons & links: secondary/danger button colours + link/link-hover.
- Custom CSS: a raw textarea injected after the theme variables (staff-
trusted), for anything the controls don't cover.
- Presets: 6 → 13 (added Galaxy, Royal, Cyberpunk, Neon, Coffee, Arctic,
Christmas). ThemeVars now injects all the new vars + the font link.
Verified live (prod, amx_test): saved font=mono / H1=44px / custom CSS →
the public home reflected --font-family "Courier New", --size-heading-h1
44px and the injected rule; reverted the test settings. tsc 0,
vitest 49/49, next build 0.
Make the template match the atom theme, not just approximate it:
- Add Tailwind v4 (+forms/typography plugins, postcss) and port the real atom
CSS (global.css + atom app.css) into globals.css: nav-item underline, currency
+ navigation icon classes, site-bg, card-base/hover-lift, text utils — asset
paths adapted to /assets.
- Copy the real theme assets (backgrounds, icons/currency/navigation, profile,
leaderboards) into public/assets.
- Rebuild the shell 1:1 from the atom Blade: TopHeader (currency pills +
user/admin dropdowns, auth-only), SiteHeader (header image + black/50 overlay,
logo+online+Nitro client / guest Login+Create-account CTA), Navigation (white
bar, nav-item + Community/Assistance dropdowns), Footer. ThemeVars injects the
DB-driven CSS custom properties into :root like app.blade.php. Layout uses the
atom body/site-bg + grid-cols-12 max-w-7xl content wrapper.
Verified: tsc 0, next build exit 0; curl confirms the atom markup, compiled CSS
references the assets, and background-light.jpg + currency/navigation icons all
serve 200.
