Summary

Three tray-menu changes, the last two following from the first being asked for.

Every Keycap Script entry previews its own script. The submenu named ten
scripts and showed none of them, so picking one meant flashing it to the
keyboard to find out what it looks like. Each entry now carries a two-glyph
icon, and hovering shows a longer sample (letters, plus digits for the scripts
that have numerals). Standard previews the normal Latin face, so the column
reads as a comparison. All of it is offline — the scripts already ship in
fantasy.plyf and the Latin face in the keycap-preview export, so no keyboard
and no flashed pack are needed. Built on the submenu's first show (30 ms for all
eleven), so startup is untouched, and a missing or malformed bundle leaves the
menu exactly as it was.

Two things were decided by rendering the real menu rather than reasoning about
it: the icon is two glyphs, because QIcon scales a pixmap to fit a ~16 px
square and a six-glyph strip arrives about five pixels tall; and a glyph is
scaled against the alphabet's ink box rather than its own, because Braille a
is a single dot and measured against itself it fills the icon as a solid square.
A script's font is resolved by its PUA block base (0xE800 + (value-1)*0x40,
mirroring the firmware's glyph_script_blocks[]) rather than by position in the
pack, so a pack that reorders or lacks a block yields no preview instead of a
preview of the neighbouring script.

Both tray apps follow the OS light/dark setting. They wore a dark palette
unconditionally, so on a light Windows desktop the tray menu and every dialog
came up dark against light windows. ui_theme defaults to auto; light /
dark pin it, offered as a dropdown in the settings dialog. Detection is
Qt-free and cannot raise: AppsUseLightTheme via winreg, defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle on macOS (the key only exists in dark mode, so an absent
key
means light — while defaults failing to run at all means unknown, which
is a distinction the first cut got wrong), gsettings colour-scheme then the
gtk-theme name on Linux. A desktop that does not answer falls back to dark — the
app's historical look — so a failed detection changes nothing rather than
flipping somebody's tray. The tray re-follows whenever its menu opens, so
switching the desktop needs no restart; the forwarder reads it once at startup.
A pinned theme skips detection entirely, because that path runs on every menu
open and each gsettings call carries a 2 s timeout.

The style stays Fusion in both themes and only the palette changes: Qt 5 has no
dark native Windows style, so dark must be Fusion, and switching style by theme
would leave the Fusion-shaped widgets checked in only one of them. The
glyph-script previews had to move with it — a rendered pixmap does not follow a
palette change, and near-white ink on a light menu is an invisible icon — so
their ink comes from the palette and the tray drops the built icons when the
theme changes.

The brightness icons were yellow on white. #FFFF55 measures 7.6:1 against
the dark chrome and 1.07:1 against the light one. The set is now grey off, amber
1%, gold 50/100%, green for "back to automatic" (automatic is the palette's
enabled/ok, not a brightness level). Measuring turned up two more of the same
fault, both off-palette one-offs: sync_problem at #A96424, 1.74:1 on dark,
and delete at #F19E39, 1.90:1 on light; each takes the palette colour its
meaning already had. Every icon tint now sits between 2.20:1 and 3.22:1 on both
grounds, and IconContrastTest holds a 2.0 floor from here.

Three developer dialogs still hardcode dark colours (MRU inspector, font-pack
inspector/extend), deliberately: those are OLED previews, where a black ground
is the content rather than chrome.

Version bump label

bump:minor — new features (the previews, the theme setting), backwards
compatible. No protocol change: nothing here touches the wire.

Testing

  • Tested locally against real hardware

  • Tested with mock device (if UI changes)

  • Full suite green: 2329 tests, OK (skipped=52) under xvfb (2286 before).

  • The real QMenu rendered in both themes via tools/render_tray_menu.py,
    which now builds the previews before grabbing (a grab() fires no
    aboutToShow) — that is how the icon size, the alphabet-box scaling, the
    light palette and the new icon tints were each judged.

  • Mutation-checked, each break caught by the intended test: the preview module
    (wrong block stride, dropped normalisation, wrong digit index, non-ASCII
    digits re-admitted) and the theme logic (inverted registry reading, flipped
    fallback, ignored setting, always-true is_dark, always-dark apply_theme
    that last one escaped at first and got a test written for it — plus a macOS
    launch failure reported as light, and detection run for a pinned theme).

  • The tooltip test draws the HTML through a QTextDocument and counts lit
    pixels, because a tooltip whose image Qt cannot load renders as an empty box
    and says nothing.

Review

This has been reviewed, but read the coverage carefully. Of the four bots,
three declined on this head — Sourcery is out of its weekly diff budget,
Greptile has hit the account's 50-credit trial limit, Qodo's subscription has
lapsed — and the repo is under GitHub's 10-star threshold, so nothing
auto-reviews it. CodeRabbit reviewed on request and raised three findings, all
verified against the code, all real, all fixed
in 4fcdfff with a regression
test each:

  • glyph_index() used str.isdigit(), true for Arabic-Indic and superscript
    digits alike. ١ silently mapped to the KC_1 slot — a key this keyboard does
    not have — and int('²') raises, escaping a preview() documented to
    return None when it cannot draw.
  • _detect_macos() reported a Mac whose defaults could not run as being in
    light mode, because a non-zero exit (the real light signal) and a failure to
    launch both arrive as None — against this module's own promise that None
    means "the desktop did not answer".
  • apply_theme() asked the OS even when the setting already decided. With
    _refresh_theme() dropping the cache on every menu open, a pinned theme paid
    two sequential gsettings calls per open, each with a 2 s timeout.

CodeQL separately flagged three import issues, also fixed (a574cbb); one of
those was half wrong — THEME_DARK is consumed through the module from the
tests — so it took __all__ rather than a deletion.

⚠️ Neither review covers the current head. CodeRabbit's is stamped
be78692 and CodeQL's findings predate their own fix, so by this repo's
standing check (a review counts when its commit_id is the head sha) the fixes
themselves are unreviewed, and the hour's review quota is spent.

Also not covered: the docs site is untouched — using/glyph-scripts says
nothing about the previews and there is no page for the theme setting. Docs ship
the moment they merge while the host ships on a release, so those pages belong
with the release that carries this.

The Docstring Coverage pre-merge check is failing at 30.94% against an 80%
threshold. That threshold is a CodeRabbit default rather than a project policy
and this repo deliberately does not chase it, per CLAUDE.md.

Summary by Sourcery

Add keycap script previews and responsive light/dark theming to the tray applications while improving icon readability across palettes.

New Features:

  • Add offline visual previews and hover tooltips for each keycap script menu entry, including the standard Latin face.
  • Allow both tray applications to follow the operating system light/dark preference or use a user-selected theme.

Bug Fixes:

  • Improve menu icon contrast across light and dark palettes, including brightness, synchronization, and delete icons.

Enhancements:

  • Keep the Fusion style consistent while applying theme-specific palettes and refresh previews when the tray theme changes.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for glyph-script rendering, font resolution, tooltip output, theme detection and resolution, palette application, and icon contrast.

Chores:

  • Update project guidance with pull request review coverage observations and UI implementation notes.

The Keycap Script submenu named ten scripts and showed none of them, so
picking one meant flashing it to the keyboard to find out what it looks
like. Every script already ships with the host in the fantasy font-pack
bundle, so the host can draw the sample itself: each entry now carries a
two-glyph icon, and hovering shows a longer sample (letters, plus digits
for the scripts that have numerals). Standard previews the normal Latin
face from the keycap-preview export, so the column reads as a comparison.

Offline throughout - no keyboard, no flashed pack, nothing downloaded -
and built on the submenu's first show (30 ms for all eleven), so startup
is untouched and a missing or malformed bundle leaves the menu as it was.

services/glyph_script_preview.py is Qt-free and mirrors the firmware's
glyph_script_codepoint(): a script's font is found by its PUA block base
(0xE800 + (value-1)*0x40) rather than by position in the pack, so a pack
that reorders or lacks a block yields no preview instead of a preview of
the neighbouring script. gui/glyph_script_icon.py turns that into a QIcon
(OLED cool white on transparency) and a tooltip carrying the image as a
base64 data URI, which needs no temp file.

Two things were decided by rendering the real menu rather than reasoning
about it: the icon is two glyphs because QIcon scales to fit a ~16 px
square and a six-glyph strip arrives five pixels tall; and a glyph is
scaled against the alphabet's ink box, not its own, because Braille 'a'
is one dot and against itself it fills the icon as a solid square.

Both tray apps wore a dark Fusion palette unconditionally, so on a light
Windows desktop the tray menu and every dialog came up dark against light
windows. `ui_theme` now defaults to "auto" and follows the desktop, with
"light"/"dark" to pin it; the settings dialog offers it as a dropdown,
the one place a fixed value set gets a combo instead of free text.

services/os_theme.py is the Qt-free reader: AppsUseLightTheme via winreg
on Windows, `defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle` on macOS (the key only
exists in dark mode, so a failed read means light), gsettings colour
scheme then the gtk-theme name on Linux. Nothing there raises, and a
desktop that does not answer falls back to dark - the app's historical
look, so a failed detection changes nothing rather than flipping
somebody's tray. The tray re-follows whenever its menu opens, so
switching the desktop needs no restart; the forwarder reads it once.

The style stays Fusion in both themes and only the palette changes: Qt 5
has no dark native Windows style, so dark must be Fusion, and switching
style by theme would leave the Fusion-shaped widgets checked in only one
of them. Light is a second explicit palette beside the dark one, so both
are readable and testable and neither can leave a role to Qt's default.

The glyph-script previews had to move with it: a rendered pixmap does not
follow a palette change, and near-white ink on a light menu is an
invisible icon - so their ink comes from the palette and the tray drops
the built icons when the theme changes.

Verified by rendering the real tray menu in both themes. 32 tests, each
of the five mutations tried (inverted registry reading, flipped
fallback, ignored setting, always-dark is_dark, always-dark apply_theme)
caught by the intended one.

The brightness family was #FFFF55 — 7.6:1 against the dark chrome and
1.07:1 against the light one, i.e. yellow on white. Now that the apps
follow the OS theme a tint is drawn on both grounds, so it is #B59D24
gold (3.00 / 2.36), and the four entries share it: the Material glyphs
(fewer rays, outline vs filled) carry the ramp, where the old paler
#F9DB78 for 1% was the worst case of all on a light ground.

The two other off-palette one-offs went with it, since both were the
same fault: sync_problem was #A96424, 1.74:1 on DARK, and delete was
#F19E39, 1.90:1 on light. Each adopts the palette colour its meaning
already had — amber for caution, red for destructive — so the set is
seven documented colours again, every one between 2.20:1 and 3.22:1 on
both grounds.

IconContrastTest holds a 2.0 floor from here on, with a test that the
floor still rejects yellow-on-white so it cannot quietly become
vacuous, and one that the two grounds it measures against are still the
palettes' own Window colour.

The Brightness submenu now reads across the palette rather than in one
colour: grey off, amber at 1%, gold at 50/100%, green for "back to
automatic". Green because automatic is the palette's enabled/ok, not a
brightness level; amber because the dim end wants to look warm, which is
what the old #F9DB78 was doing before it turned out to be invisible on
white.

Both are existing palette colours and clear the contrast floor on both
grounds (amber 3.22/2.20, green 2.87/2.47), so the set is still the same
seven and no icon needs a colour of its own. The cost is that amber now
means caution and the dim end, and green ok and automatic; that is
recorded beside the palette, and the alternative was two more one-off
colours.

@coderabbitai review

Asking explicitly because this repo is under GitHub's 10-star threshold, so nothing auto-reviews it, and the other three bots have all declined on this head: Sourcery is out of its weekly diff budget, Greptile has hit the account's 50-credit trial limit, and Qodo's subscription has lapsed. get_reviews currently holds two refusal objects and no actual review.

Worth focusing on, in rough order of how easy each is to get wrong:

  • polyhost/services/glyph_script_preview.pyscript_base() mirrors the firmware's glyph_script_blocks[] (0xE800 + (value-1)*0x40), and glyph_index() maps digits '1'..'0' to base+26..35. Both are cross-repo contracts with qmk_firmware; an off-by-one in either is silent, since a wrong block yields the neighbouring script's glyphs rather than an error.
  • polyhost/services/os_theme.py — every reader must return None rather than raise, and AppsUseLightTheme is 1 for light. The inversion being backwards would flip everyone's tray with nothing to notice.
  • polyhost/gui/glyph_script_icon.pypreview_ink() reads the live palette, and PolyHost._refresh_theme drops the built icons on a theme change. A rendered pixmap does not follow a palette, so a missed invalidation leaves near-white ink on a light menu.

@thpoll83 I will review pull request #218. I will focus on the cross-repository glyph indexes, failure-safe OS theme detection, and preview-icon invalidation after a theme change.

✅ Action performed

Review finished.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

host.py: QPalette and QColor were dead — already dead on main, and only
flagged now because this branch added QIcon to that same line.

theme.py: the os_theme re-exports read as unused to anything looking only
within the file. THEME_DARK is genuinely consumed (through the module, from
theme_test.py), so deleting the names would have broken the tests — the
finding is right about the file and wrong about the remedy. __all__ declares
the re-export surface instead, and now matches the module's public names
exactly (nothing declared that is undefined, nothing public left out).

os_theme_test.py: import unittest.mock as mock, so the module is no longer
imported both ways. 27 of the repo's 123 test files carry the same pattern,
so this is a new-file alert rather than a new fault, but it costs one line.

Full suite green: 2321 tests, OK (skipped=52) under xvfb — same count as
before, and the GUI tests that construct the real PolyHost were among them.

In `@polyhost/services/glyph_script_preview.py`:
- Around line 66-68: Update glyph_index() to recognize only ASCII digits by
replacing the isdigit() condition with an explicit "0" through "9" range check,
preventing non-ASCII characters from being mapped or raising during conversion.
Add regression coverage for Arabic-Indic ١ and superscript ² through preview().

In `@polyhost/services/os_theme.py`:
- Around line 70-71: Update the macOS theme detection flow around _run() so
command-start failures and timeouts preserve an unknown result by returning
None, while an absent AppleInterfaceStyle preference continues to use the
existing light-theme behavior. Add coverage for both OSError and TimeoutExpired
outcomes on macOS.
- Line 101: Update the theme resolution flow around resolve_theme() so the
ui_theme setting is normalized before detect_os_theme() is invoked; call the
detector only for “auto” or invalid values, while explicit “light” and “dark”
settings bypass it. Add a test verifying explicit settings do not call
detect_os_theme().

…ection

All three verified against the code first; all three were real.

glyph_index() used str.isdigit(), which is true for Arabic-Indic and
superscript digits alike. U+0661 silently mapped to '1' — there is no such key
on the keyboard, and the index mirrors the firmware's KEYCODE arithmetic — and
int('²') RAISES, escaping a preview() whose contract is to return None
when it cannot draw. Now an explicit "0".."9" range.

_detect_macos() reported a Mac whose `defaults` could not run as being in LIGHT
mode. `defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle` exits non-zero when the key is
absent, which IS the light answer, but _run() returns None for that and for a
missing binary or a timeout alike, so the two were folded together — against
this module's own promise that None means "the desktop did not answer".
_defaults_read() keeps them apart.

apply_theme() asked the OS even when the setting already decided. The tray
re-applies the theme on every menu open and drops the detection cache first, so
a user with ui_theme pinned paid 1-2 gsettings subprocesses per open for an
answer that was then discarded. is_explicit() gates it, and lives in os_theme
beside resolve_theme so the two cannot disagree about what "explicit" means.

Each fix has a regression test, and all three were mutation-checked: reverting
each one fails its own test and no other.

Full suite: 2329 tests, OK (skipped=52) under xvfb (2321 before).

A push mid-run did NOT abort the review, which qmk/CLAUDE.md says it does. The
review completed normally — but stayed pinned to the pre-push head, so the
pushed commit was simply never read. That is quieter than an abort and the
range line / commit_id are the only things that say so.

And the "a push re-triggers a review for free" escape hatch relies on
auto-review, which being under 10 stars turns off — so on this repo and on
polykybd-docs a push buys nothing and every review costs a quota slot. The two
existing notes interact badly and neither says so on its own.

Two pushes after the review each re-rendered CodeRabbit's summary as the
under-10-stars skip with a Trigger-review checkbox, rather than starting a
review. That was derived from two existing notes; it is measured now.

The code-review conventions spend ~2k words on four LLM bots going quiet and
conclude "the honest answer is that the PR is unreviewed" — while codeql.yml
runs on every PR and its own header says it exists precisely because "unlike
every bot on this PR it cannot go quiet at the moment it is needed". The
firmware CLAUDE.md knew this ("The host repo runs CodeQL instead"); the file
describing this repo's own board did not. It earned the slot on #218: three
findings before any bot had run.

Also corrected "the repo does have two workflows" — there are four.

py/unused-import on a re-export module is right about the file and wrong about
the remedy. It flagged THEME_DARK in gui/theme.py, which IS used — as
theme.THEME_DARK from theme_test.py, attribute access it cannot see. Deleting
the name to clear the alert would have broken the tests while the alert went
green. __all__ silences it and states the surface honestly.

triage-pr-review knew three bots; there are five. Added Greptile (whose check
run is anti-correlated with whether it reviewed) and CodeQL, plus the standing
commit_id-equals-head check — including that a refusal IS a review object
carrying the head sha, a clean CodeRabbit pass is NO review object at all, and
a completed review can stay pinned to a pre-push head.
