posting locate themes prints a heading followed by the application’s actual theme directory; tail -n 1 selects only that path. The download therefore works with custom and platform-specific data locations. Restart an already running Posting instance after adding a new file. No existing config or collection is replaced.

To keep a flavor permanently, set theme: living-code-night in Posting’s existing config. You can preview themes through Ctrl+P → Theme…. Each YAML file declares its name, light/dark appearance and all supported base palette colors. Posting derives HTTP method and syntax colors from those palette fields; no ignored legacy syntax blocks are shipped.

Targets Posting 2.11+’s native palette API; the same base fields are also understood by Posting 2, but version-specific rendering is not claimed. Paper explicitly sets dark: false. load_user_themes must be enabled, and theme_directory may override the default location. Tests parse YAML and verify the documented supported field set.

Previews are captured programmatically from the actual application in an isolated profile. See capture/app.py for the app-owned recipe and images/capture.json for runtime, palette and image provenance. No mock interface is drawn.

Found a problem? Open an issue with the app version, the flavor and a screenshot. Want Living Code somewhere else? Request a port.

Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
