Clipman redesign

HTML/CSS mockups for the GTK4 + libadwaita rewrite of the clipboard popup. Designed against Catppuccin Mocha/Latte; tokens in tokens.css map 1:1 to libadwaita widgets.

Surfaces

Main window

Clipboard popup — search, filter, pinned, day-grouped rows, footer.

Draft

Preferences

Settings extracted from the inline panel into AdwPreferencesWindow with groups: Appearance / Privacy / Shortcuts / Storage / Updates / About.

Draft

Snippets editor

Master-detail Adw.Dialog: searchable snippet list on the left, edit form on the right with monospace content, {{date}}/{{clipboard}} variables, use-count meta.

Draft

Edge states

15 states across 4 rendering modes (full-takeover Adw.StatusPage, AdwBanner-above-content, Adw.AlertDialog overlay, populated baseline). Sidebar picker; both themes.

Design principles

Native GNOME feel. Looks like Files / Settings; no custom chrome that fights the desktop.
Settings out of the main view. The clipboard popup is for clipboard content; settings move to their own window.
Day-grouped rows. Pinned → Today → Yesterday → Earlier this week → Older. Easier to scan than a flat list.
Color-coded type icons. Text / image / link / code / snippet each get a tinted leading icon — at a glance.
Hover-only actions. Pin and delete buttons are invisible until you hover; reduces visual noise.
Catppuccin throughout. Both themes share the same tokens, only the palette changes.
