Paper Theme

Paper Theme for your Open Web Desktop client.

Overview

A minimal theme for Open Web Desktop focused on the core shell: windows, a slim system bar, and little else. Use it to test window chrome, layout, and app rendering without the full Nova desktop experience.

Visual style — modern linear UI with an e-ink feel: zinc neutrals, 1px hairlines, system sans, no grids or decorative chrome.

Shell — top system bar (start menu and clock); fixed window layer with resize and drag; no dock, workspaces, or file-system integration.

Components

• Desktop — DesktopCore with PaperSystemBar, stage content, and DesktopApplicationRender
• Window — title bar and content around DesktopWindow
• Playground demo app — @owdproject/app-about (same as other theme playgrounds)
