SilkCircuit Themes

SilkCircuit is the signature theme family for Opaline, designed around the principle of electric meets elegant.

Neon (Default)

The flagship dark theme. Electric purple and neon cyan on a deep, slightly purple-shifted dark background.

Palette highlights:

Role	Color	Hex
Primary accent	Electric Purple	#e135ff
Secondary accent	Neon Cyan	#80ffea
Tertiary	Coral	#ff6ac1
Success	Green	#50fa7b
Error	Red	#ff6363

let theme = opaline::load_by_name("silkcircuit-neon").unwrap();
// or simply:
let theme = opaline::Theme::default();

Soft

A muted, lower-contrast variant for extended coding sessions. Lavender and sage tones replace the electric palette.

let theme = opaline::load_by_name("silkcircuit-soft").unwrap();

Glow

Hot pink meets warm amber. Higher saturation with a warm color temperature.

let theme = opaline::load_by_name("silkcircuit-glow").unwrap();

Vibrant

Maximum contrast. Magenta primary with electric blue secondary, for when you want your terminal to pop.

let theme = opaline::load_by_name("silkcircuit-vibrant").unwrap();

Dawn (Light)

The light variant of SilkCircuit. Deep purple accents on a lavender-white background. Designed for bright environments and daylight coding.

Palette highlights:

Role	Color	Hex
Primary accent	Deep Purple	#7e2bd5
Secondary accent	Teal	#007f8e
Background	Lavender White	#faf8ff
Text	Deep Indigo	#2b2540

let theme = opaline::load_by_name("silkcircuit-dawn").unwrap();
assert!(theme.is_light());

Design Principles

SilkCircuit follows these design rules:

1. Purple-shifted darks. Background hues lean slightly toward purple/blue rather than pure grey.
2. High-chroma accents. Primary colors use near-maximum saturation.
3. Complementary pairs. Primary and secondary accents sit across the color wheel.
4. Consistent luminance. Text and UI elements maintain readable contrast ratios.
5. Gradient harmony. Multi-stop gradients flow through analogous hues.
