# arch1ve theme for Kettu

Kettu (like Bunny/Vendetta) installs themes from a URL, so these two files need to live somewhere public.

## Self-hosted (Gitea on arch1ve) — the plan
1. Create a public repo `arch1ve-theme` on your Gitea, push `arch1ve.json` + `arch1ve-backdrop-mobile.jpg`.
2. Fix `background.url` in the JSON to `https://git.<domain>/<user>/arch1ve-theme/raw/branch/main/arch1ve-backdrop-mobile.jpg`.
3. Kettu → Themes → paste `https://git.<domain>/<user>/arch1ve-theme/raw/branch/main/arch1ve.json`.

## Fallback: a public GitHub repo
1. Create a public repo named `arch1ve-theme` on your GitHub account.
2. Upload `arch1ve.json` and `arch1ve-backdrop-mobile.jpg` to it (drag-and-drop on the repo page works).
3. Edit `arch1ve.json` and replace `YOUR_GITHUB_USER` in the `background.url` line with your GitHub username.
4. On the phone: Discord → Settings → Kettu → Themes → paste
   `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USER/arch1ve-theme/main/arch1ve.json`
   → Install → enable it → restart Discord.

## Alternative: self-host on arch1ve
Drop both files behind Traefik/Pangolin at any public HTTPS path and point `background.url` and the install URL there instead.

## Tuning
- `background.alpha` (0–1): how strong the skyline is behind the chat. 0.42 is a good daytime value; 0.6 for full neon.
- `background.blur`: 0 for crisp, 2–4 for a softer look.
- After editing the JSON on GitHub, re-install the URL in Kettu (or use its refresh option) to pull the change.
