  "textContent": "If you're familiar with Star Trek, you'll know that from *The Next Generation onwards all computer panels on Starfleet ships had a consistent look. In Trek *parlance, that look came from a system called *LCARS *(Library Computer Access/Retrieval System).\n\nA PADD with LCARS\n\nAs luck would have it, there's an amazing website—https://www.thelcars.com—that has recreated LCARS in HTML and CSS. This piqued my curiosity—could it be adapted and used as a NetNewsWire theme?\n\nThe answer is, of course, *make it so. *\n\nThis makes me smile. You can add PADD to NetNewsWire using the link at the bottom of the article.\n\nA few notes:\n\nthe font is *Antonio *and it's been Base64 encoded so it can be included with the theme,\n\nunfortunately, I've not (yet) found a way to include the sounds that come with the full LCARS package from thelcars.com,\n\nnavigation buttons are *View Website, View Article, NetNewsWire, *and, if there's a linked article, Linked Article,\n\nhiding/showing *Linked Article *requires JavaScript\n\nthere have been a few tweaks to code, pre, ul, and ol elements to improve rendering in NetNewsWire,\n\nany adaptation must follow the EULA,\n\nthis theme is better on a wider screen in dark mode, and,\n\nit's an absolute workout for Liquid Glass\n\nThe PADD theme is just a lot of fun. 100% credit to thelcars.com!\n\nAdd to NetNewsWire",
