Nova Dark v1.3

Changelog v1.3 (2026-07-19)

Removed

• The nova-dark-no-icons.qbtheme variant has been removed. There is one file now.

New colors

• New violet and cyan accent, replacing the old bright blue.
• Chrome and torrent states now share one color family, so a color means the
  same thing everywhere.
• Torrent states are easier to tell apart:
  • Missing Files and Error were near identical reds. Now maroon and red.
  • Checking and Downloading were both blue. Checking is now teal.
  • Stalled and Stopped were two similar greys, now clearly different.
• The dark greys are unchanged. Only accents moved.

Fixed

• The lock button's dropdown showed a grey bar instead of an arrow, and clipped
  the lock icon.
• The column sort arrow was drawn on top of the column name.
• The progress percentage on paused torrents was almost unreadable.
• Dock panel titlebar buttons had no icons.
• The search box and the Filter by dropdown are now the same height.
• The Filter by arrow now sits at the end of the dropdown.
• The properties tab bar (General, Trackers, Peers, and so on) was flush against
  the panel edges.
• Progress bars stay blue instead of taking the new violet accent.

Build

• Building is now one command:

  docker compose run --rm build

• All colors live in one file, _palette.scss, and nova-dark-config.json is
  generated from it.

• The old Mumble Dark theme and its build scripts have been removed.

• Some build failures used to report success. They now fail properly.
