The libadwaita-based settings screen (previous commit) had two real bugs a
closer look (and a screenshot from the real running app) caught:
- AdwSpinRow's internal GtkSpinButton has no width constraint of its own,
so once the row was widened to 900px, the spin button stretched to fill
it - the digits and +/- buttons ended up stranded behind a huge empty
bordered box, the exact bug the design review flagged, just worse.
- bread-theme's shared `entry, spinbutton` rule outlines every field with
an always-visible @overlay border, which on a light-cream overlay colour
reads as a stark white outline against the dark theme.
Rather than keep fighting libadwaita's internal row/spin-button opinions
(there's no supported way to reach in and constrain them), settings.rs is
now plain GTK4 mirroring bos-settings' own Row.svelte/NumberField.svelte/
TextField.svelte design exactly: same tokens (12/16px row padding, ch-width
inputs, transparent-at-rest border, accent border only on focus), built on
a plain `list.boxed-list` for the native rounded-corner-run + divider
styling. Full control over sizing, no internal widget to hunt for.
Also fixed a real ordering bug in the editor AdwDialog conversion:
`open_editor` used to call `dialog.present()` internally before returning,
so callers that connected `dialog.connect_map` afterward (screenshot mode)
missed the signal entirely - it can fire synchronously inside `present`.
Presentation now happens at each call site, after wiring `connect_map`.
Also gave the dialog's content an explicit height/vexpand + min-content-
height, since the ScrolledWindow had none and the whole dialog was
collapsing to just its header bar.
breadpad-shared's bread-theme dependency also gets fixed here: it was
still pinned to an old GitHub-mirror tag (v0.2.8) while breadman pinned
the same crate to git.breadway.dev's dev branch - two different copies of
bread-theme compiled into the same binary, so breadman's actual runtime
CSS (built through breadpad_shared::theme) never saw any of the shared
stylesheet fixes above regardless of what breadman's own direct
dependency resolved to.
Settings screen:
- Widen the AdwClamp to 900px, left-aligned to the note-list gutter,
instead of PreferencesPage's own ~600px clamp that made the screen
read as a narrower, bolted-on app.
- Remove the floating Save button; every control now applies instantly
(switches/combo/spin on change, entry rows via show_apply_button),
matching what AdwSwitchRow's own design language already implies.
- Replace ActionRow+suffix-Entry with real AdwEntryRow/AdwPasswordEntryRow
so fields are row-width instead of sized by leftover label space.
- Default type now uses the same pill-row widget as the New Note dialog
and editor, instead of a fourth type-picker variant.
- Local Classifier group description notes the paths are shared with
breadpad.
Note list (All/Upcoming/Todo/Idea/Note/Question):
- Replaced the two-line card (huge dead gap between title and actions)
with Archive's tighter single-line row layout, shared via the new
views::row module. Unifies the edit affordance (pencil in both active
and archive rows) and drops the type badge in views already filtered
to one type.
- Type badges now tint per-type (matching the existing note-card-{type}
accent-bar colors) instead of one flat cream fill for every type.
- Empty states are centered with type-specific copy and a "+ New X"
action instead of top-anchored generic text.
- Search bar is now scoped to note-list views (was rendering uselessly
on Settings/Errors).
- Archive sort bug: it was sorting by `created` while displaying
`completed` ("done {date}"), which is why rows could appear out of
order. Now sorts by `completed`.
- Sidebar and row-action icons are now real GTK symbolic icons instead
of a mix of emoji, Unicode glyphs, and thin monochrome characters.
Editor: converted from a bare GtkPopover (no scrim, no title, anchored
wherever the triggering button happened to be) to an AdwDialog with
AdwEntryRow fields, a shared header bar, and copy/placeholders unified
with the New Note dialog. Delete uses destructive-action styling.
Also: destructive-action buttons (breadman's row/editor delete, and
breadpad-shared's .danger-btn) now use a hardcoded red instead of
pywal's @red - a blue-toned wallpaper's "red" palette slot can itself
render blue, which made delete indistinguishable from confirm/accent
buttons regardless of which CSS class was already applied.
Proof-of-concept for the ecosystem-wide design-system work: every setting
is now an AdwPreferencesGroup/SwitchRow/SpinRow/ActionRow/ComboRow via
bread-theme::adw, instead of a hand-rolled GtkGrid of labels + raw widgets.
This directly fixes the two worst defects a design critique found here:
- Toggle switches rendered ~1400px wide, like progress bars — caused by
GtkGrid sizing a switch's column to match a sibling entry's hexpand in
the same grid, and Switch has no default that resists filling that
width. AdwSwitchRow owns its own layout, so this class of bug can't
recur.
- Spin buttons were ~1300px from the label they modified, for the same
grid-column-sizing reason. AdwSpinRow docks the spinner to its title.
Also softened the jargon-forward section titles the critique flagged
("Model (Tier 2 ONNX)", "Ollama (Tier 3)") — the tier/implementation
detail moved from the title (loud, unavoidable) to each group's
description (quieter, still there for anyone who wants it).
bread-theme now needs a direct dependency here (branch=dev, `adw`
feature) since breadpad-shared's own bread-theme dependency is tag-pinned
to a release before this feature existed.
--view (and now --screenshot) already opened any named stack page
directly, so the other 9 pages (upcoming/todo/reminder/idea/note/
question/archive/settings/errors) needed zero new code — just registry
entries in bread-capture.
Two more real windows needed actual wiring: the per-note editor popover
(editor::build_editor_popover, normally only reachable via a specific
note card's edit button — screenshot mode calls the builder directly
against the first real note in the store instead, since there's no
button handle to synthesize a click on) and the "New Note" modal
(show_add_note_window, same on_build-hook pattern already used for
breadbar's wifi add-network dialog).
The editor popover's first attempt parented it to the whole window,
which put it at GTK4 Popover's default Top position — entirely above the
window, clipped off the canvas in every capture despite mapping
successfully (no error, just invisible). Anchoring to a real button
(new_note_btn) with an explicit Bottom position fixed it.
Same reasoning as breadpad, extending breadman's own hand-rolled arg
parser rather than adding clap. --screenshot <view> doubles as the view
selector — breadman already supports opening directly to a named stack
page via --view/initial_view, so this just feeds that same mechanism
instead of needing a separate one. Full known-size canvas capture, plain
top-level window (not layer-shell).
Also fixes the same NON_UNIQUE footgun as breadpad/breadbox/etc.
Use bread-theme 0.2.7's luminance-picked ink (@on-*): type chips on @overlay and
selected sidebar rows / confirm buttons on @blue kept @fg or @bg, which vanished
when those slots came out light/dark. They now use @on-overlay / @on-accent.
Add breadpad_shared::theme::apply_live (wraps bread_theme::gtk::apply_app_css) so
breadpad and breadman recolour live on `bread-theme reload` and re-read the user's
style.css — replacing the build-once provider. bread-theme bumped to v0.2.7
(gtk feature).
- Add MIT LICENSE file
- Expand .gitignore with standard Rust/Linux entries
- Remove dangling symlinks (breadmancli, breadpadcli) and dev scratchpad (svgs.txt) from git tracking
- Replace unsafe unwrap() calls with expect() in breadman CLI (guarded by prior filter)
