About this theme

Two TOML files for Alacritty 0.13+ — slatewave.toml (palette only, composes with your existing font/window config) or slatewave-full.toml (adds Hack Nerd Font Mono at 14pt, block cursor, opaque window). Covers the full color schema: cursor, vi-mode, selection, search, hints, and footer bar.

Slatewave for Alacritty tunes the full color schema, not just the 16 ANSI colors: cursor, vi-mode cursor, selection, focused/unfocused search matches, keyboard hints, and the footer bar each get a semantically-matched Slatewave color. ANSI mapping mirrors the VSCode Slatewave terminal block for cross-tool continuity.

The split between slatewave.toml (palette) and slatewave-full.toml (palette + typography) means you can pick up the colors without inheriting the font/cursor/window opinions.
