Borozdov Terrarium

Borozdov Terrarium

A theme from the Borozdov collection. Two faces — light Greenhouse, a botanical greenhouse on cream paper, and dark Hothouse, the same glasshouse after the lamps go out. Linux Libertine, a classical serif, carries the title and the top two headings; the platform's own sans carries the rest. Forest-ink green is the one warm accent, and a cool slate blue is the one counter-tone, kept out of the green wash entirely.

Principles

• A label, not a headline. Linux Libertine — upright, classical — sets the title and the top two heading levels; h3 down to the smallest heading, and all body text, stay in the platform's own sans. h5 and h6 drop to small tracked capitals, like a seed-packet footnote.
• Forest ink, one warm accent. Deep green carries links, the caret, tag outlines and the filled button. It never appears twice in the same shade — a lighter forest takes every hover state, so the resting colour stays calm.
• Slate blue, one cool counter-tone. Every other theme in this vein leans entirely on green; Terrarium keeps a desaturated blue-gray in reserve for the blockquote rule and a slice of the code palette, so the page reads as a greenhouse with a window onto the sky, not a single wash of foliage.
• Cream paper, layered like potting soil. The canvas is warm cream, panels step up through keylime and mint, and corners round a soft 6px — a glass jar, not a terminal window. Greenhouse panels lift very slightly, the way light through a glass roof would; Hothouse drops the lift, because after dark there is nothing to cast one.
• A potting-bench table. Tables draw their own hairline frame and inner grid, ruled like a bench log rather than boxed like a spreadsheet.

Features

• Light and dark modes, following Settings → Appearance → Base color scheme
• Callouts as flat keylime cards with soft 6px corners; the plain note tinted with a deeper mint wash
• Blockquotes in the embedded serif, a size up, behind a slate-blue rule
• Tables ruled like a bench log, with a keylime header and a hairline frame, no doubled edge
• Tags as thin forest outlines, never filled
• Quiet editing: no focus ring around the note, its title or form fields while you type; property names read as labels, not boxed fields
• Text colours meet WCAG contrast on both faces
• The phone layout keeps the same colours and shapes
• No !important: every rule can be overridden with a CSS snippet

Font

Linux Libertine is embedded in theme.css as base64 WOFF2 under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 — see fonts/OFL.txt. It is a Latin and Cyrillic subset of the original release by Philipp H. Poll, kept under its own name: the font's source and license declare no Reserved Font Name, so no renaming was needed. One weight, for the title and the top two heading levels only.

По-русски. Тема из коллекции Borozdov. Два лика: светлый «Greenhouse» — ботаническая оранжерея на кремовой бумаге, и тёмный «Hothouse» — та же теплица после того, как погасли лампы. Классическая антиква Linux Libertine несёт заголовок и два верхних уровня подзаголовков, рубленый шрифт платформы — всё остальное. Дёрн-зелёный — единственный тёплый акцент, приглушённый серо-голубой — единственный холодный противовес.
