+# margin — Etherpad skin
+
+A standalone drop-in skin with six themes and an orthogonal Light/Dark toggle:
+
+| Theme | Light | Dark | Natural mode |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `colibris` | ✓ | — | light (no dark palette) |
+| `editorial` | ✓ | ✓ | light |
+| `brutalist` | ✓ | ✓ | light |
+| `paper` | ✓ | ✓ | light |
+| `crt` | ✓ | ✓ | dark |
+| `industrial` | ✓ | ✓ | dark |
+
+The current `data-theme` and `data-mode` attributes live on `<html>`. Mode is paired with theme in CSS via `[data-theme="X"][data-mode="light|dark"]`.
+
+No external dependency on colibris — all component partials are vendored under `src/`.
+
+## Install
+
+1. Copy this `margin/` folder into `src/static/skins/`.
+2. In `settings.json`, set:
+   ```json
+   "skinName": "margin"
+   ```
+
+No template edits are required. The skin applies the user's saved theme + mode on load (defaulting to `colibris` + the theme's natural mode), the Google Fonts stylesheet is `@import`-ed from `pad.css` / `index.css`, and a **Theme** dropdown plus a **Dark mode** checkbox are injected into both the User Settings and Pad-wide Settings columns of the Settings popup.
+
+## Switch themes at runtime
+
+The Settings popup (gear icon in the toolbar) has:
+- a **Theme** dropdown with the six themes,
+- a **Dark mode** checkbox (orthogonal — flips light↔dark for any theme that has a dark palette).
+
+Choices persist in `localStorage` under `marginTheme` + `marginMode` and propagate across the pad and the lobby.
+
+Programmatically, from DevTools:
+
+```js
+document.documentElement.dataset.theme = 'crt';
+document.documentElement.dataset.mode = 'dark';
+```
+
+## Folder layout
+
+```
+margin/
+├─ index.css         lobby / pad-list themes
+├─ index.js          lobby JS (early theme bootstrap)
+├─ pad.css           pad themes + component imports
+├─ pad.js            pad JS hooks (theme bootstrap, Settings dropdown,
+│                                  iframe theme propagation)
+├─ timeslider.css    version timeline
+├─ timeslider.js     timeslider JS
+├─ src/
+│  ├─ general.css, layout.css, pad-editor.css, pad-variants.css
+│  ├─ components/    toolbar, chat, popups, users, gritter, scrollbars, …
+│  └─ plugins/       comments, color picker, tables, …
+└─ README.md
+```
+
+The `src/` partials are vendored from upstream colibris so this skin is fully self-contained — themes layer on top via `data-theme="…"` overrides in `pad.css` and `index.css`, and inherit the same CSS-variable contract (`--primary-color`, `--bg-color`, `--main-font-family`, `--editor-horizontal-padding`, …) that colibris exposes.
