A mixed pass over the default theme and the layout/input core, plus the toolkit's own cursor set. Grouped by area below.
== Responsive sizing ==
Add `Length::dp( px )` — a "design pixel". It interprets `px` against a configurable reference vmin (default 412 px, the eydos mobile reference width) and returns `Vmin( px / reference * 100 ).clamp( px * 0.7, px * 1.5 )`, so a value authored against a mock-up scales with the surface without collapsing on tiny screens or ballooning on a 4K desktop. The reference is process-global, set via `set_design_reference()` and read via `design_reference()` (stored as f32 bits in an AtomicU32); both are re-exported from `lib.rs`.
Make container and grid insets relative. `Container`'s four padding fields become `Length` instead of `f32`; every setter (`padding`, `padding_h`, `padding_v`, `padding_top`/`right`/`bottom`/`left`) now takes `impl Into<Length>`, so existing `f32` call sites keep compiling via the `From<f32>` shim. The values are resolved against the viewport in `Container::preferred_size` and in the container draw path (`draw/layout.rs`). `WrapGrid`'s `spacing_x`, `spacing_y` and `padding` get the same treatment, with a `resolved( canvas )` helper funnelling the per-frame resolution and `grid()` seeding `Length::px` defaults. Container tests now compare against `Length::px( … )`.
== Scrolling ==
`Scroll::preferred_size` is now axis-aware. A horizontal-only scroll reports its child's natural height rather than claiming all remaining vertical space, so it no longer steals Y from its siblings when it sits inside a `Column`; vertical and both-axis scrolls keep the spacer-like `( max_width, 0.0 )`. `Column`'s space-distribution correspondingly treats a `Scroll` as a vertical space-claimer only when its axis allows Y.
Disambiguate nested scroll viewports by direction. On press the gesture state now collects every scroll viewport under the point (`scroll_candidates`, innermost first) instead of committing to one; on the first 8 px of motion it locks onto the candidate whose axis matches the dominant direction (`scroll_locked`), so a horizontal scroller nested inside a vertical list no longer grabs the wrong axis. The pointer scroll hit test is aligned to the same innermost-first ordering.
== Theme palette ==
`themes/default/theme.json` gains named colours (green / green-deep, yellow, orange / orange-deep, pink / pink-soft, sky-deep, error / error-soft, neutral-tertiary) and new semantic slots in both light and dark modes: `danger`, `text-tertiary`, `accept`, `chip` / `chip-active` / `chip-active-fg`, and `avatar-1` … `avatar-9`.
== Cursors ==
Bundle GNOME's Adwaita cursor theme — the cursors GNOME Shell uses — into `themes/default/cursors/` so a Wayland compositor can draw consistent, complete pointers for ltk applications without the toolkit rasterising cursors itself and without depending on adwaita-icon-theme being installed on the target. The cursors are copied verbatim in XCursor binary format: 35 image files, one per CSS/freedesktop cursor name (default, text, pointer, *-resize, …), plus 27 customary X11 alias symlinks (arrow → default, hand2 → pointer, …); a sibling `cursor.theme` makes the tree a valid XCursor theme. The existing `ltk-theme-default.install` copies `themes/default` recursively, so the directory ships with no packaging change. Applications keep declaring a `CursorShape` per widget over `wp_cursor_shape_v1`; the compositor resolves it against the active theme's `cursors/` directory by name, and the set covers all 34 `CursorShape` variants.
Document the set in `themes/default/cursors/README.md` (what it is, the XCursor layout, the full shape list, how the compositor consumes it, guidance for forks) and `themes/default/cursors/LICENSE.md` (attribution and licence options, modelled on the icons catalogue LICENSE). `lib.rs` lists the cursors in its third-party-assets section.
Close out licensing in `debian/copyright`: a `Files: themes/default/cursors/*` paragraph records the upstream dual offer (CC-BY-SA-3.0 or LGPL-3, and CC-BY-SA-4.0 for the newer assets) attributed to the GNOME Project, with standalone CC-BY-SA-3.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0 and LGPL-3 paragraphs (summary-plus-canonical-URL for the CC licences, matching the existing CC-BY-4.0 entry; LGPL-3 referencing /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-3). The files are unmodified from upstream, so there is nothing to declare under the ShareAlike "indicate if changes were made" clause.
Add `tests/cursor_assets.rs`: every `CursorShape` name resolves to a valid XCursor file (Xcur magic, following symlinks), `cursor.theme` is present, no entry is a dangling symlink, and the expected-name list stays in sync with the enum's 34 variants.
`Button::tooltip( text )` registers a hint string that fires after a 600 ms pointer dwell. `LaidOutWidget` gains a `tooltip: Option<String>` field, `Element::tooltip()` exposes it to the input layer, and the existing pointer-hover path now calls `arm_tooltip` on hover-enter and `cancel_tooltip` on hover-leave / touch. The deadline is polled alongside `next_long_press_wakeup` in `try_run` so an idle pointer still gets a wake-up at the firing instant; on fire, `tooltip_overlay()` synthesises an `OverlaySpec` — a rounded `text_primary @ 95%` pill drawn with `bg` text — anchored above the hovered widget, flipping below or clamping inside the screen if it would clip, and pushed alongside the app's own overlays both in the redraw path and in `reconcile_overlays` so the layer surface is created the same frame the tooltip becomes visible. Pointer-only by design: touch events explicitly cancel because a tap-and-release should never linger into a hint. The `showcase` example wires `.tooltip(..)` on the three button variants as a smoke test.
The drag pipeline now reports positions in main-surface (global) coordinates instead of per-surface. `surface_offset_for( focus )` derives the top-left of an overlay surface from `SurfaceState::layer_anchor` — newly stored at `reconcile_overlays` time from `OverlaySpec::anchor` — combined with the main surface's dimensions; `on_drag_move`, `on_drop`, the synthetic move emitted on drag-promotion in `pointer.rs`, and the `pending_drag_inits` push site in `gesture::start_drag` all translate before handing coordinates to the app. The motion and release paths additionally `request_redraw()` every overlay so a dock-style drop target painted on an `Anchor::Bottom` layer surface gets repainted as the drag moves — without that, the visible drop indicator only updates when the cursor re-enters the main surface. Drops still target whichever surface fired the release; only the coordinates are unified.
`ForeignToplevelListHandler` previously read `app_id` directly via `ForeignToplevelList::info()`. Clients that never set `app_id` (some winit-windowed compositors, simple test clients) were silently invisible to crustace-style docks because the empty string fell through `unwrap_or_default()` and the dock then keyed entries off `""`. `toplevel_display_id()` cascades: prefer `app_id` for desktop-entry matching, fall back to `title` for human-readable identification, and finally to the protocol-issued `identifier` which is always present and unique per handle. Applied to both `new_toplevel` and `update_toplevel`.
`theme::system_fontdb()` lazily loads the system font database once via `OnceLock` and reuses the `Arc` for every `decode_svg_bytes` call. resvg's default `Options::fontdb` is empty, so any SVG containing `<text>` rendered with the built-in fallback font or no font at all; with the system DB attached, icons and decorative SVGs with embedded labels now resolve glyphs correctly. Cached because `load_system_fonts()` walks every font path on the system and is comfortably tens of milliseconds on a cold cache — not something to repeat per icon decode.
`themes/default/theme.json` tweaks one variant's slot palette: `surface-alt` from `@indigo/D9` to `@white/D9` and `text-primary` from `@white` to `@navy`, plus a cosmetic re-alignment of the `"value"` columns in the same slots block.
`WindowControlsSpec` gains `bar_bg`, the background fill of the SSD title-bar strip the close / maximize / minimize controls sit on. Forge used to paint that strip with `palette.surface` clamped to alpha 1.0 — a hack on a translucent panel token. With a dedicated slot the theme decides directly: `@off-white` in light and a new `@window-bar-dark` shade in dark. Schema gets the matching `Option<String>` field (defaulting to `palette.surface` to keep existing themes rendering the same) and the fallback `WindowControlsSpec` seeds `Color::WHITE` so a missing theme still draws something readable.
`try_run`'s dispatch loop previously `.expect("dispatch")`-ed every calloop error. When the compositor closes the wayland socket — `wl_display.error`, forge crashing, the user logging out — the loop saw a `BrokenPipe` / `ConnectionReset` and panicked, which polluted the user's stderr with a backtrace for what is just "the session ended". The match now treats those two `IoError` kinds as a clean shutdown: it prints `Connection::protocol_error()` (the typed `wl_display.error` if the server sent one), sets `exit_requested = true`, and lets the loop drain out normally. Any other dispatch error keeps panicking — those are still genuine bugs.
