2026-05-05 13:17:30 +00:00 | 139 commits to main since this releaseHellion Chat 1.1.0 — Theme Foundation
First major UI cycle after the standalone v1.0.0 cut. Theme engine,
five built-in themes, customisable JSON themes, modernised settings
layout.New themes (Settings → Themes):
- Hellion Arctic — the brand default, Arctic Cyan + Ember Glow
on industrial slate. - Chat 2 Klassik — Steel Blue on neutral grey, eckige Kanten.
The upstream Chat 2 look on the new engine. - Event Horizon — Cosmic Purple on near-black. Deep-space mood.
- Moonlit Bloom — Bloom Magenta + Soft Sage on deep-violet
night. - Mint Grove — Mint Green + Honey Amber on deep forest. First
member of the Grove family.
Theme engine highlights:
- Slug-based selection in Settings → Themes with mini-mockup
previews per theme. - Click a theme card and the whole plugin (chat, settings,
pop-outs, viewer) repaints instantly. - Custom themes via JSON in pluginConfigs/HellionChat/themes/.
Example template seeded on first launch. - Optional per-theme chat-channel colours. When a theme proposes
its own chat colours and yours differ, a dezent banner offers
Apply / Keep — never auto-overwriting. - Migration v13 → v14: existing users land on Hellion Arctic. Pick
Chat 2 Klassik to keep the upstream look.
Settings layout:
- New card-grid overview on Settings open. Click a card to drill
into the section. - Breadcrumb back to overview, ESC also returns.
- Detail view drops the redundant tab list — section content uses
the full width.
Branding:
- Plugin icon swapped from the ChatTwo derivative to the Hellion
Forge hammer. - New docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md walks you through writing your own
themes with the Forge logo on top.
Technical:
- HellionStyle.PushGlobal is now theme-driven. Configuration.
HellionThemeEnabled is deprecated and will be removed in v1.2.0. - New ThemeRegistry singleton with LastWriteTime-cached custom-
theme loader. - 51 local unit tests cover the data model, registry, JSON round-
trip and built-in sanity checks.
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
