Skrive v0.1.6
v0.1.6 — Top-bar redesign
The chrome at the top of the workspace was reading as a separator strip — a white macOS title bar above a cream Skrive header above the editor, with rules between each layer. This release pulls the cream all the way up to the traffic lights, redoes the open-document tabs as cards that flow into the editor below, and lightens the right-side panel toggles.
What's new
- Cream extends to the very top. The window now uses macOS overlay title bar mode, so the warm cream surface continues up under the traffic lights instead of stopping at a white strip. No more color seam at the top of the window.
- Tabs are document cards. Each open tab gets the Markdown doc icon, browser-style sizing (tabs hug their content width, cap at 14rem for long filenames, and shrink uniformly to 36px icon-only when many are open), and an active state that lifts to the editor cream with rounded top corners — the active tab's bottom edge meets the editor edge, so the open document visually flows out of its tab.
- Right-side panel toggles, lightened. The
FM/BL/Aa/HItext pills in the top-right are replaced with four small icon-only buttons (frontmatter, backlinks, personal dictionary, history). Counts moved into each panel's own header where they're more useful, so the chrome stops carrying content metadata. - Four new panel icons.
IconFrontmatter,IconBacklinks,IconDictionary, andIconHistoryjoin the existingIconDocMarkdown/IconFolderfamily — same hand-drawn voice, same 16/24 sizing pattern.
Under the hood
- New
--skrive-chromeCSS variable (light:#efece5, dark:#1a1a1a) gives the chrome strip a subtle tint so the active tab — which matches editor cream — reads as lifted out of the strip and connected to the writing surface below. Tab strip usesalign-items: stretchplus containerpadding-topso the active tab extends from above the text down to the chrome's bottom edge; tabs themselves useflex: 0 1 autofor the hug-content sizing. - macOS overlay title bar requires the chrome to clear the traffic-light cluster — 78px left-padding applied via a
navigator.platformcheck at mount, so Windows / Linux builds don't get phantom whitespace. Header carriesdata-tauri-drag-regionso window dragging still works in the empty zones of the chrome. - Panel click-outside escape hatch refactored: each side panel's "ignore clicks on my own toggle" check now matches a
data-panel-toggle="X"attribute instead of the (deleted) per-pill class names. ~190 lines of dead pill CSS removed fromHeader.sveltein the same pass.
