Built-in theme

Inkflow ships with a built-in theme so a deck looks polished before you touch any styling. The theme provides a base layout SVG (background + brand frame), a set of ready-made layouts, and a CSS stylesheet built on the Catppuccin palette (Mocha in dark mode, Latte in light mode).

The showcase below is built from the theme's own showcase/deck.py and walks through every built-in layout. Navigate with arrow keys or click to advance, and toggle the light/dark mode in the presenter to see both palette variants.

Built-in layouts

Each layout is a bare name you can pass to Slide(...). They resolve through the active theme first, then fall back to these built-ins.

Layout	Purpose
cover	Title slide — large title, subtitle, and an optional full-bleed media zone
default	Standard content slide — title, subtitle, and a content zone for bullets/prose
section	Section divider — large heading to break the deck into parts
center	Single centered block — ideal for one statement or image
two-cols	Two independent content columns beneath a shared title
fact	A single large fact with a supporting caption
quote	A blockquote with an attribution line
media-left	Image on the left, text on the right
media-right	Image on the right, text on the left
end	Closing slide — thank-you / wrap-up

In addition, base is the no-parent base layout (background + frame) that the others extend, and numbered is a variant that adds slide-number zones.

Using a built-in layout

Pass the bare layout name to Slide, with Markdown or SVG content:

from inkflow import Deck, Slide

def main() -> Deck:
    return Deck(slides=[
        Slide("cover", md="title"),
        Slide("two-cols", md="compare"),
        Slide("end", md="thanks"),
    ])

Markdown zone markers (e.g. ::left::, ::right::, ::quote::) target the named zones in each layout. See the showcase deck's slide files for the exact markers each layout expects.

For styling the theme — palette variables, semantic SVG classes, and authoring colors in Inkscape — see the Themes guide.
