text_markdown

Wrapped markdown prose with themed headings, inline code, links, and blockquotes. Pick this when the source string carries Markdown syntax that should render as styled spans rather than literal characters.

Theme tokens

Overridable via the [theme] section of your dashboard config.

Key	Description
text	Primary body text colour for plain renderers (text_plain, text_ascii, list_plain, animated_typewriter). The top step of the chrome ladder — brighter than text_secondary, reads as diffuse daylight on the ocean surface. Set text = "reset" to inherit the terminal's own foreground instead.
panel_title	Panel title colour. The coral hero of the Splash palette; set panel_title = "reset" to inherit the terminal's own foreground.
accent_event	Calendar event marker and default scatter-plot dot colour.
text_secondary	Slightly-less-dim secondary text, e.g. the detail line under a timeline entry.
text_dim	Barely-visible chrome text: timeline date prefixes, empty-state placeholder, clip hint. Replaces the old Modifier::DIM usage — set an explicit colour so rendering stays consistent across terminals (some render DIM as invisible, some as a no-op).
