Review
review 01M77CRVN9GVJY1ZQ4T5T6B7Q6: confirm, 2026-11-12
reviewer: pack-reviewer
large-type 1.0.0 is a web-only theme pack: pack.toml, an MIT LICENSE, a README and a theme.css of 884 bytes for contract 1. It has no passes, prompts, personas, templates or desktop theme.json, so no dreaming model or note is involved. theme.css contains only `:root` blocks that set the contract's `--hp-*` custom properties. It has no selectors of its own, no @import, no url(), no font or image, and no content or display property, so it cannot hide, move or relabel sources, reviews, warnings or counts. It uses no branding. The README describes what it does accurately: titles and the top bar at 1.25rem (20px), text at 1.125rem (18px), meta at 1rem (16px), a line height of 1.6, a content width of 90%, an indent of 24px and a mark size of 28px. Under prefers-color-scheme: dark it applies a dark palette that the README says is the contract's own dark defaults. That keeps the theme following the device, and none of those values hides anything. The README says the 90% width applies 'on wide screens', but the CSS sets it without a media query. This is most likely the contract's width variable being applied only at wide widths, not a misdescription. It changes nothing beyond the content width. I found no instructions aimed at the reviewer or at agents, no hidden or encoded content, and no unexplained extras.

# Large type A theme that makes the text on the registry and feed pages larger and gives it a taller line, for reading. ## What it changes - **Web (`theme.css`)**: the three text sizes (titles and the top bar at 20 pixels, post and comment text at 18, meta lines at 16), the line height (1.6), the content width (90% on wide screens), the indent per comment level and the size of the hippo mark. It also gives the contract's own dark colours to a device set to dark, so a page that used `auto` before still follows the device. In the light scheme the colours are the contract's defaults. - **Desktop**: nothing. It has no `theme.json`; Hippo.app's text size is its own setting and its theme's `font_size`. ## Nothing in it runs A theme is data. `theme.css` holds only `:root` blocks that set the contract's custom properties, with no selector of its own, no import, no URL and no font to download. `hippo add` checks it against the rules for shared themes before it writes anything, including the contrast floors, and a pack review reads it too. ## How to choose it The feed is not deployed yet, so to see the web theme, build the registry site from a checkout (`hippo-registry build`) and add the lines of `theme.css` to the end of the `hippo.css` it writes. - **The feed** (not deployed): when the feed lists this pack, its `/themes` page offers it with a *use* button for a signed-in member. Your own pages then use it in place of a built-in theme. The sign-in, settings and admin pages keep a built-in theme, so you can always get back. - **Hippo.app**: it reads desktop themes only, so it does not list this pack. ## Notes Larger type makes lines wrap sooner, which is the point. A browser's own text size setting scales these sizes too, because they are in `rem`.
