The logo, favicons and app icons are served from public/img under fixed
names with a browser cache of hours, and the service worker fetches them
through that cache. After the mark changed on 2026-09-27, returning
visitors kept the old cat until their copies expired, and the favicon
and an installed app's icon hold on longer still.
Every URL that names one now carries ?v=BRAND_V (src/lib/brand.ts,
brandImage()): the header, sign-in, About, the mail empty state, the
notification icons, index.html's favicon links, the manifest's icons
and the service worker's shell and notification icons. Date-stamped,
never a counter, for the sites' ASSET_V reason; the three static files
carry the value written out, and the comment says to keep them in step.
The browser tab, and anything that takes its name from the document title,
read INBUXA. The manifest, the server's app name and the sign-in card all
have it lowercase; the title was the one place left in caps.
Prod's APP_NAME override was set to inbuxa at the same time; the code
default already was.
INBUXA is a product suite and ihasmail an independent product, so INBUXA's
webmail says INBUXA: the sign-in page, header, page title, installed-app name
and About page. The wordmark is drawn in the current text color. ihasmail's
version and AGPL source line stay as its credit. Two new strings, in all nine
catalogues; three Stalwart-only ones are no longer used.
A dark theme carrying ihasmail.org's palette: a teal-navy ground rather
than the blue-slate of the plain dark theme, with the orange the logo's
cat is drawn in doing the work of the star and the warning colour. The
values are the site's own, read from its stylesheet rather than picked
by eye.
It is a theme rather than an accent because it changes backgrounds,
borders and text as well as the highlight -- an accent could not.
It rides on data-theme="dark" and adds data-palette="ihasmail" on top,
so the eleven dark-only rules further down the stylesheet keep applying
without being duplicated for a second dark theme. Specificity then does
something deliberate: the palette block is 0,2,0 and the accent variants
are 0,3,0, so a chosen accent still wins over it -- and because the
default accent ("teal") has no rule of its own, ihasmail.org's accent is
what shows until someone picks another. Verified both ways in a browser.
It is now what a new account starts on, so the app looks like itself
before anyone has chosen anything. Only a default: a stored theme always
wins, which leaves everyone already using ihasmail where they are, since
the setting is saved whether or not they deliberately picked it.
While here, the theme-color meta tag was fixed. There were two, both
carrying media attributes, and applyTheme looks for
:not([media]) -- so it matched neither and the browser chrome had never
followed the chosen theme at all, only what the OS preferred. One tag
now, updated from JS, starting at the default theme's background so the
first paint is right too.
Contrast measured rather than assumed, against the theme's own
background: text 14.5:1, muted 8.6:1, faint 6.4:1, accent 8.0:1, link
9.8:1, star 7.9:1, accent-on-accent 8.4:1. All AA or better.
