I love the idea of Tape. There's some issues I have with the workflow — like, I wish data was stored in plaintext1 rather than a SQLite DB — but conceptually and visually it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
You know what else I love? 100r's old SVG theming. Portable cross-app theming is a really neat idea — and showing themes as SVGs is clean as hell.
Luckily for me, Tape supports 100r theming!
Based on
reading the template in Aeriform's Github and messing
around with SVG files manual testing, this seems to be how
Tape uses 100r theming as of v1.4.0.
Groove is the Tape term for buttons that add things, i.e. the collapsible New Collection and Add buttons.

There's also some Tape-specific values — most are obvious.
