Customization

foundations specs/foundations/customization.kmd

How users + developers personalize Koder UI without leaving the design system. Material parity (`/foundations/customization`). Covers the axes available (style × scheme × density × motion × i18n × layout density × accessibility prefs), where each persists, who the audience is, and what's NOT customizable per surface.

Spec — Customization

Facet Visual do Koder Design. Material parity: https://m3.material.io/foundations/customization.

Customization axes (canonical 8)

Every Koder app exposes the same 8 axes in Settings (where applicable), with the same default values and the same persistence pattern. Spec per axis lives in linked references; this doc catalogs them.

Axis	Default	Spec
UI style (forma/densidade)	`material3`	`themes/ui-style.kmd`
Color scheme (paleta)	`default`	`themes/color-schemes.kmd`
Theme mode (claro/escuro)	`system`	`themes/light-dark.kmd`
Language (i18n)	device locale	`i18n/contract.kmd`
Voice / wake-word	OFF (except barge-in)	`voice/wake-word.kmd`
Error reporting	OFF (opt-in)	`errors/reporting.kmd`
Auto-update	ON	`koder-app/behaviors.kmd §4`
Density	comfortable	`themes/ui-style.kmd`

R1 — One Settings page, consistent shape

Every Koder app's Settings page has the SAME section order:

Appearance (UI style, color scheme, theme mode, density)
Language (locale picker, ICU regional prefs)
Notifications (per-app)
Voice (wake-word, barge-in, hot phrases)
Privacy (error reporting, telemetry opt-out, data export)
Account (sign-in, sign-out, tenant switch)
About (version, licenses, what's new)

Order is rigid; sections can be omitted (no Voice → skip), never reordered.

R2 — Persistence

Axis	Where it persists
Appearance + Language	Per-surface (`localStorage` / Flutter `SharedPreferences`) — sticky per device
Voice	Per-app (same storage)
Privacy	Per-app + propagated to backend audit log on opt-in
Account	Server-side (Koder ID)

R3 — System hints

When the user has not made a choice, surfaces follow system hints:

Theme mode: ThemeMode.system / prefers-color-scheme
Language: Platform.localeName / navigator.language
High contrast / reduced motion: OS accessibility prefs (Android View.SystemUiHints, iOS UIAccessibility, Windows SystemSettings, GNOME org.gnome.desktop.a11y, etc.)

R4 — Per-tenant vs per-user vs per-surface

Scope	Examples
Per-tenant (workspace-wide)	Custom brand color, organization name, allowed login methods
Per-user (synced)	Display name, notification prefs, language
Per-surface (device-local)	UI style, density, theme mode, voice settings

Per-tenant customization always takes precedence over per-user; per-user always takes precedence over per-surface defaults.

R5 — What's NOT customizable

The following are deliberately fixed to preserve product identity:

Product logo / icon
Element family taxonomy (foundations/elements.kmd)
Canonical layouts (canonical-layouts.kmd)
Error message format (errors/user-facing-messages.kmd)
Touch target minimums (safe-area.kmd)
Keyboard shortcuts that conflict with OS conventions
Brand-color accent (varies by tenant, but the role "accent" stays)

User requests for these go through product feedback, not Settings.

R6 — Customization pickers in UI

Each axis has a canonical widget (in koder_kit):

Axis	Widget	Spec ref
UI style	`KoderUIStylePicker`	`themes/ui-style.kmd`
Color scheme	`KoderColorSchemePicker` (planned)	`themes/color-schemes.kmd`
Theme mode	`KoderThemeToggle`	`themes/light-dark.kmd`
Language	`KoderL10nSwitcher`	`i18n/contract.kmd §R3`
Voice	`KodeVoiceSettingsTile`	`voice/wake-word.kmd`
Error reporting	`KoderReportButton` toggle	`errors/reporting.kmd`

R7 — Reset to defaults

Every Settings page exposes a "Reset to defaults" button in the About section. Behavior:

Clears all per-surface preferences (returns to system hints)
Per-user prefs preserved (the user owns those)
Per-tenant prefs unaffected (admin owns those)
Confirmation dialog: "Reset appearance and preferences to defaults?"

Cross-link

All axis specs above
koder-app/behaviors.kmd — broader app behaviors
policies/reuse-first.kmd — pickers come from koder_kit, not per-app
