# Implementation Plan: UI Theme Overhaul & Style System

## Phase 1: Research & Typography [checkpoint: d613e5e]
- [x] Task: Research `imgui-bundle` text rendering and theme APIs.
    - [x] Identify the best way to load and render high-quality fonts (Inter/Maple Mono).
    - [x] Check for Freetype support or specialized rendering forks within the current environment.
- [x] Task: Implement Professional Typography. b1d612e
    - [x] Integrate Inter and Maple Mono font assets.
    - [x] Update the font loading logic in `src/gui_2.py` (or a dedicated theme module).
    - [x] Verify font rendering quality and scaling across the UI.
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Research & Typography' (Protocol in workflow.md)

## Phase 2: Professional Style & Theming [checkpoint: 7f418fa]
- [x] Task: Implement the "Subtle Rounding" Professional Theme. 59e1453
    - [x] Define the professional color palette and style variables (rounding, padding, spacing).
    - [x] Utilize `imgui-bundle`'s styling APIs to apply the theme globally.
    - [x] Refactor existing hardcoded styling in `src/gui_2.py` to use the new theme system.
- [x] Task: Write visual regression tests or simulation scripts to verify the new theme's consistency. 59e1453
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Professional Style & Theming' (Protocol in workflow.md)

## Phase 3: Advanced Visual Effects (Shaders) [checkpoint: 49a1c30]
- [x] Task: Implement Custom UI Shaders. 0b49b3a
    - [x] Develop and integrate shaders for rounded window corners and soft shadows.
    - [x] Develop and integrate shaders for glass/acrylic (blur) effects on selected panels.
    - [x] Develop and integrate shaders for improved text anti-aliasing.
- [x] Task: Perform a performance audit to ensure shaders do not degrade FPS. 0b49b3a
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Advanced Visual Effects (Shaders)' (Protocol in workflow.md)

## Phase 4: Layout Management & Multi-Viewport [checkpoint: 5efd775]
- [x] Task: Implement Multi-Viewport Support. 429bb92
    - [x] Add the "Multi-Viewport" toggle checkbox to the main menu bar.
    - [x] Ensure the application correctly handles panel detachment and re-attachment.
- [x] Task: Implement UI Layout Presets. 429bb92
    - [x] Create a management system (Save/Load/Delete) for window layout presets.
    - [x] Ensure presets capture window geometry and the Multi-Viewport state.
    - [x] Persist layout presets to the project configuration (`manual_slop.toml` or a dedicated file).
- [x] Task: Verify layout restoration accuracy across multiple presets. 429bb92
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Layout Management & Multi-Viewport' (Protocol in workflow.md)

## Phase 5: Final Polish & Verification [checkpoint: 5efd775]
- [x] Task: Conduct a final UI audit for "professionalism" and consistency.
- [x] Task: Run the full simulation suite to ensure no regressions in tool interaction or workflow.
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 5: Final Polish & Verification' (Protocol in workflow.md)
