+# LCARS — an Obsidian theme
+
+*Take notes like a member of Starfleet.*
+
+A minimalist Obsidian theme inspired by the **LCARS** (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) interface design language created by Michael Okuda for *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. True-black canvas, elbow-framed panels, pill geometry, and a restrained two-hue accent system — immersion that never costs you readability.

+
+## Design principles
+
+- **The writing surface stays clean.** Color and ornament live in the chrome, never under your text.
+- **Two working hues.** Orange (`#ff9c00`) marks structure — frames, headings, tags, the active file. Periwinkle (`#9c9cff`) marks interactivity — links, bold, selection, scrollbars, the caret's lilac cousin. Lilac, pale blue, and salmon play supporting roles.
+- **Readability tiers.** Antonio (the canonical LCARS typeface, embedded in the theme — nothing to install) appears only on large display text: the note title, H1, and H2. Smaller headings and labels step down to a softer condensed face; body text and small UI use your default fonts, untouched.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Elbow frames** — every note pane opens with the classic Okuda elbow: an orange sweep with a periwinkle echo, drawn in pure CSS and click-transparent.
+- **A full LCARS standby console on the New Tab page** — a console popup floating over a procedurally generated "library scan" data-block stream, featuring the Obsidian gem redrawn as a glowing star constellation, a scanning header bar, a breathing standby light, pill-shaped actions, and a `SUBSPACE LINK • STANDBY` sign-off. All ambient motion respects your system's reduce-motion setting.
+- **Ribbon color-block stack** — sidebar actions as solid LCARS color blocks with a hollow-pill settings cluster.
+- **Console chrome throughout** — orange-ringed command palette and page previews, LCARS alert callouts with palette-mapped semantic colors, pill tags and checkboxes, segmented divider bars, a miniature elbow closing the status-bar corner, and a periwinkle-outlined Properties panel.
+- **Dark mode only.** LCARS is a dark-room interface — the theme applies its black-canvas palette regardless of your base color scheme setting, so it looks correct even if Obsidian is set to light mode.
+
+## Install
+
+Once published: **Settings → Appearance → Themes → Manage → search "LCARS"**.
+
+Manual: copy `theme.css` and `manifest.json` into `<your vault>/.obsidian/themes/LCARS/`, then select LCARS under **Settings → Appearance → Themes**.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The Antonio typeface is embedded in `theme.css` as a base64 web font under the [SIL Open Font License 1.1](https://scripts.sil.org/OFL). A locally installed Antonio takes precedence if you have one.
+- No images are loaded from the network; every graphic is inline SVG/CSS. The theme is fully self-contained.
