## Summary
A 340-plus theme collection for the bubbletea/lipgloss ecosystem with the registry shape tai wants: a global default registry plus custom registries, runtime switching, and JSON file loading. The registry mechanics are the finding, not the tint count.
## Key findings
- Ships 340+ named tints behind a registry API with a global default registry plus support for custom registries.
- Supports switching themes at runtime and loading themes from JSON files.
## Pros / strengths
- Registry-shape precedent: global default plus custom registries plus file loading covers every lookup need with one pattern.
- Proves JSON file loading composes cleanly with a dict-style registry.
## Cons / limitations / caveats
- Tints target lipgloss's role-less model, so per-theme structure is thinner than tai's role palette; the registry shape ports, the theme contents do not.
- Scale (340+) is ecosystem-collection scale; tai ships 4–6 builtins.
## Relevance to tai
- Registry-shape precedent for the palette-role conclusion (`THEMES` dict plus `register_theme`), and the JSON-load precedent behind the deferred file-override design.
