A theme from the Borozdov collection. Two faces — light Bleach, graphite ink on warm paper, and dark Smudge, the same ink smudged across a graphite page. Hairline-edged cards, three tiers of grey, and inversion as the only accent.


Principles
- No hue at all. Every surface, border and label is grey. State is never carried by colour — only by weight, a hairline and the one place the theme inverts.
- Three tiers of grey. Ink for running text, muted for secondary, faint for tertiary — the same three steps the interface leans on everywhere, from headings down to a table's footnote row.
- A hairline builds every card. Callouts, code panes, tables and popovers are the same card: a mist fill and a 1px hairline rim at 10px corners, never a shadow.
- One inversion. True black on Bleach, true white on Smudge, reserved for the filled button, the checked box and the caret — the single moment the whole page flips.
- Developer-native type. The platform's own sans at 400 for text and 600 for headings; no embedded font, no load, no flash of unstyled text.
Features
- Light and dark modes, following Settings → Appearance → Base color scheme
- Callouts, code blocks, tables and popovers drawn as the same hairline-rimmed card
- Tags and property pills as flat, square badges that invert under the pointer
- Quiet editing: no focus ring around the note, its title or form fields while you type; property names read as labels, not boxed fields
- A toggle thumb tuned per face so it never disappears against its own track
- Text colours meet WCAG contrast on both faces
- The phone layout keeps the same colours and shapes
- No embedded fonts, so the theme stays around 12 KB
- No
!important: every rule can be overridden with a CSS snippet

По-русски. Тема из коллекции Borozdov. Два лика: светлый «Bleach» — графитовые чернила на тёплой бумаге, и тёмный «Smudge» — тот же штрих, размазанный по графитовой странице. Карточки на тонкой линии, три ступени серого и инверсия как единственный акцент. Шрифты не встроены. Устанавливается из каталога: Настройки → Оформление → Темы → Настроить → Borozdov Ash → Установить и применить.
