Everything about this branch's look has so far been verified by reading build
logs, which is how a fully black window got reported as a clean boot. This adds
a way to actually LOOK at the skin.
- scripts/shot.ts — renders a page with Firefox headless (already installed; no
Chromium/puppeteer download) and writes a PNG. Firefox needs a dedicated
profile, since a running Firefox locks the default one.
- ui/dev/harness.html — static gallery pairing 7.css's own documented markup
("reference") against what the app currently renders ("ours"), for the window
frame, ListView, context menu, buttons, textbox, progress bars and tabs. Lives
outside ui/src so the Angular build never sees it.
Two traps found while building it, both documented in the files:
- The composed page MUST be written into ui/dist beside the stylesheet.
Firefox's security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy blocks a file:// document
from loading CSS in another directory, and the result renders completely
unstyled — indistinguishable from "the skin is broken".
- replaceAll, not replace, for the {{STYLES}} token: the harness documents the
token in a header comment that precedes the <link>, so a first-match replace
substitutes the comment and leaves the stylesheet unlinked. This produced one
false "everything is unstyled" result before it was spotted.
What the first screenshots already confirm, visually:
- The window has no Aero frame, radius, drop shadow or glass, and its title-bar
controls sit in their inactive colours — we render a bare .title-bar with no
.window.glass.active wrapper.
- The file list gets none of the ListView treatment (header gradient, sort
indicator, cell separators, selection band) because it is a div grid.
- The context menu gets none of the menu treatment (gutter, dividers, disabled
state, real checkmarks).
- NEW, not previously predicted: `.win7 button { min-width:0; padding:
revert-layer }` — added to stop Tailwind icon buttons ballooning — also
crushes legitimate dialog push buttons well below Win7's 75x23 metrics.
- Dark mode: ListView header labels and tab labels are invisible (dark on
dark), since listview.css hardcodes light literals the dark block never
restates.
Caveat recorded in the script: Firefox is Gecko, not the WebKitGTK engine the
app ships on. Good for skin fidelity, useless for native window transparency.

Ui
This project was generated using Angular CLI version 22.0.6.
Development server
To start a local development server, run:
ng serve
Once the server is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload whenever you modify any of the source files.
Code scaffolding
Angular CLI includes powerful code scaffolding tools. To generate a new component, run:
ng generate component component-name
For a complete list of available schematics (such as components, directives, or pipes), run:
ng generate --help
Building
To build the project run:
ng build
This will compile your project and store the build artifacts in the dist/ directory. By default, the production build optimizes your application for performance and speed.
Running unit tests
To execute unit tests with the Vitest test runner, use the following command:
ng test
Running end-to-end tests
For end-to-end (e2e) testing, run:
ng e2e
Angular CLI does not come with an end-to-end testing framework by default. You can choose one that suits your needs.
