Package limn.themeeditor

package limn.themeeditor

A screen for authoring a Theme, so that an application's users can build a palette instead of choosing from the fifteen that ship.

ThemeEditor is the whole of it for most callers: hand it a palette, embed it, and listen for what comes out. Beside it sit the three pieces it is made of, each usable on its own: ThemePreview, which paints a palette that is not the process-wide one; ThemeAudit, which measures a palette against WCAG rather than judging it; and ThemeEditorFiles, the optional half that opens the platform's file chooser.

Nothing depends on this module, and nothing may. Authoring a palette and wearing one are different jobs: an application ships a Theme, and the screen that built it has no business on the classpath of every application that draws a button. What crosses the line between them is a value (a Theme, or the text ThemeFormat writes it as), which is why a palette saved here can be loaded by an application that has never heard of this package.

ThemeAudit.Level	How much a finding matters.
ThemeAudit.Metric	Which scale a finding was measured on, and how a number on it is written.
ThemeEditor	The screen an application embeds so that its users can build a palette of their own: every tone of a Theme on a colour well, a preview that shows all of them at once, and a legibility report that names the unreadable pair before anyone ships it.
