Make typography choosable instead of hardcoded
Theme.qml was the largest remaining thing in this desktop that could only be changed by editing a file, and typeface is the first thing someone changes when they want a desktop to feel like theirs. Interface font, icon font, and the base text size are settings now. The two font choices are deliberately separate lists. Theme.fontMono is used only to draw glyphs -- workspace pills, the status cluster, search icons -- so a plain monospace family there replaces every icon in the shell with tofu. The picker offers only Nerd Fonts for that slot and says why. Candidates are rendered in the family they name. A list of font names set in the current font tells you nothing about what you are choosing. The four type sizes derive from the base rather than being stored separately, so the relationship between body, caption, heading and title survives a change instead of four numbers drifting apart. hypr/looks.lua reads the same key. Following the preference only on the QML side would leave the compositor and the shell disagreeing about the interface font, which nobody notices until a tooltip renders in a different typeface. Only a family this machine reports is accepted: the value reaches hl.config as a string, and a settings file moved between machines will name fonts that are not installed. A missing family is reported rather than silently substituted by fontconfig. Also collapses the wallpaper grid to two rows. Sixty tiles is two screens of pictures on a page that also holds typography, window geometry and effects -- everything below it was unreachable without scrolling past all of them.
