+## Theme
+
+Process Compose uses the selected Prelude palette for its TUI custom theme.
+By default it follows `stackpanel.prelude.theme` and falls back to `minted`.
+
+```nix
+stackpanel.process-compose.theme = "nord";
+```
+
+The generated theme is written to `.stack/gen/process-compose/theme.yaml` and
+the `dev` wrapper starts Process Compose with `--theme "Custom Style"`.
+`process-compose-flake` exposes generated process settings and CLI wrapper
+options, but no theme-definition hook, so Stackpanel renders Prelude's Nix
+theme attrset into Process Compose's required custom `theme.yaml` shape.
