How it maps to Decorated Layers

A journaling theme isn't a skin — it's a stack. Each piece is a standard part wearing journal tokens.

Dot-grid paper
data-theme="journal" — bg-wc surface concept as the theme's CSS page background
Washi tape
<border-wc effect="washi"> — border-wc edge effect
Sketch border
filter: var(--filter-rough-light) — VB rough-borders
Sticky note
data-callout="sticky" — journal pack
Taped photo
data-journal="photo" — journal pack
Rapid log
data-journal="rapid-log" + li[data-bullet]
Habit tracker
data-journal="tracker" + td[data-mark]
Highlighter & doodles
