Theme Token Reference

Every design token in the Polytoken theme system, with the resolved dark and light default styles. When you write a theme file, you set values for these tokens. Tokens marked required must appear in every theme file; tokens that omit a color fall back to the body foreground or app_background background. See Themes for how to author and apply themes.
