Decided by the developer on 9 and 10 Nov 2026: phones keep the bar, medium windows (600 to 840 dp) the rail alone, and from 840 dp a toggle at the rail's foot opens it into a sidebar 256 dp wide, as Proton Drive's: the app named beside its icon, each tab its label beside its icon, the icons where the rail had them, so nothing moves under the pointer. Its labels come in one after another, top to bottom, all at once where animations are off. Open or closed is kept per device, in halkyon_app's Look (look.json, `sidebar`), which Learn keeps in its DeviceSettings (`sidebarOpen`), as it does the appearance and language. NavigationFrame takes sidebarOpen and onSidebarChanged (no toggle without it), and sidebarSections, what the app lists below the tabs, which Todo's favourites and projects will be. The closed rail keeps Flutter's widget, its toggle pinned at the foot (trailingAtBottom); the open one is the frame's own, as the staggered labels need. Learn, Todo, Train and Meditate keep the choice. Whats-New: In wide windows, the button at the foot of the side rail opens it into a sidebar with names, and it stays open. Whats-New-De: In breiten Fenstern öffnet der Knopf unten an der Seitenleiste sie mit Namen, und sie bleibt offen.

# halkyon_ui
|
|
|
|
Halkyon's look, shared by its apps (Learn, Todo, Train): one theme around the
|
|
kingfisher's cobalt and copper, the bundled Noto Sans, Material 3's window
|
|
sizes, and the widgets every app's screens are built of, with their texts in
|
|
British English, American English and German.
|
|
|
|
Written as the apps are: Dart 3.13's primary constructors, Material from
|
|
`package:material_ui` (never `package:flutter/material.dart`), Lucide icons,
|
|
LeanCode's lints.
|
|
|
|
## What it holds
|
|
|
|
- **Theme** (`lib/src/theme/`): `appTheme(brightness, extensions: …)`, Material
|
|
3 with hand-written light and dark schemes (primary cobalt, tertiary copper,
|
|
cobalt-tinted neutrals), Material 3 Expressive's 64 dp navigation bar, flat
|
|
app bars, floating snack bars; `Brand`; `ThemeExtras`, the status colours
|
|
Material has no role for (`Theme.of(context).extras`); `PaletteColor`, the
|
|
20 colours a person can give content, each with a text colour held to WCAG
|
|
AA by a test; `FittedSnackBars`.
|
|
- **Fonts**: Noto Sans for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, every weight in one
|
|
variable file, as `appFontFamily` (`packages/halkyon_ui/Noto Sans`). Chinese,
|
|
Japanese and Korean fall back to `Noto Sans JP`, `SC`, `TC` and `KR`, which
|
|
an app bundles itself if it needs them (`appFontFallbackFor` puts a
|
|
language's own first).
|
|
- **Layout** (`lib/src/layout/`): `WindowSize` (`context.windowSize`) and
|
|
`readableContentMaxWidth`.
|
|
- **Widgets** (`lib/src/widget/`): `showAdaptiveSheet` with `SheetScaffold`;
|
|
`TopGradient`, `ScreenTint`, `ScreenColor`, `TintFrame`, `FramedScreen`
|
|
and `TabVisibility`; `FlushNavigationBar`, and `NavigationFrame`, every
|
|
app's frame around its tabs (the rail with the app's icon, opening from
|
|
expanded windows on into a sidebar with labels and what the app lists
|
|
there (`sidebarOpen`, `onSidebarChanged`, `sidebarSections`), the bar flush
|
|
with the foot with a fade above it, its rounded top corners and the
|
|
wave a tap sends over it in the colour of the screen in view, the tab
|
|
chosen in that colour made legible (`readableTone`), without Material's
|
|
ripple or the indicator growing, on the bar's neutral surface (decided
|
|
8 Nov 2026, ADR 0030's amendment of D60), a tick on every choice, a status such as a recording under way above
|
|
the bar), whichever router drives it;
|
|
`AppLoadingIndicator`, `ButtonLoadingIndicator`, `AppRefreshIndicator`;
|
|
`SectionCard`, `SliverCentered`, `EmptyListMessage`, `CountBadge`,
|
|
`TitleWithKicker`, `CollapsingRow`, `ScrollHidingFab`, `Shimmer` and `SkeletonBox`, `liftWhileDragged`,
|
|
`ReorderToggle`, `ReorderGrip`; `ChevronField`, `requiredDecoration`,
|
|
`FieldInfoButton`, `CountStepper`, `PaletteColorPicker`, `TextLimits` with
|
|
`nearLimitCounter`; `confirmDestructiveAction`, `showUndoSnackBar`,
|
|
`showMoreInfoSheet`; `FoundById`; `KeyboardBackOnResume`; `BrandWordmark`
|
|
and `LaunchScreen`, which take the app's word and icon.
|
|
|
|
What belongs to one app stays in it: its own colours (an extension passed to
|
|
`appTheme`), routes, repositories, editors and texts.
|
|
|
|
## Using it in an app
|
|
|
|
Depend on it by path, within the repository's workspace (an app's packages sit in
|
|
`apps/<app>/`), so a change to the package and to the apps using it is one commit:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
halkyon_ui:
|
|
path: ../../../packages/halkyon_ui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set the app up as `example/lib/main.dart` does:
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
MaterialApp(
|
|
theme: appTheme(Brightness.light, extensions: [MyColors.light]),
|
|
darkTheme: appTheme(Brightness.dark, extensions: [MyColors.dark]),
|
|
localizationsDelegates: const [
|
|
AppLocalizations.delegate,
|
|
HalkyonUiLocalizations.delegate,
|
|
// material_ui's: flutter_localizations' serve only the SDK's Material.
|
|
...GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegates,
|
|
],
|
|
supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
|
|
builder: (context, child) => FittedSnackBars(child: child!),
|
|
…
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and call `registerFontLicenses()` at start. An app bundling the CJK fonts
|
|
declares them in its own `pubspec.yaml` under exactly the names
|
|
`appFontFallback` lists (no `packages/` prefix) and registers their licence
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
## Texts
|
|
|
|
`lib/l10n/halkyon_ui_en.arb` is the template (British English, also the
|
|
fallback); `halkyon_ui_de.arb` German, informal "du"; `halkyon_ui_en_US.arb`
|
|
only what American English spells differently; `halkyon_ui_en_GB.arb` empty. A
|
|
new text goes into the template and German together (`test/l10n/` fails
|
|
otherwise). `flutter pub get` writes `lib/l10n/halkyon_ui_localizations*.dart`,
|
|
which are committed and never edited or
|
|
formatted by hand.
|
|
|
|
## Checks
|
|
|
|
From the workspace root: `dart analyze --fatal-infos`; then `flutter test` in
|
|
`packages/halkyon_ui` and in `packages/halkyon_ui/example`, whose tests check
|
|
what only an app sees (the font under the name an app finds it by, its
|
|
licence).
