Right-to-left

One config line mirrors the layout — and one thing deliberately does not mirror.

[languages.ar]
  languageName = "العربية"
  direction = "rtl"
  weight = 2

The theme emits dir on <html>, and RetroCSS positions everything with logical properties, so spacing, alignment and start/end positioning mirror with nothing to import.

What does not mirror

The bevels. In the Win9x visual language the light source is fixed at the top-left, and Windows keeps it there in RTL; flipping the raised and sunken edges would make every button read as sunken on the wrong side. Only the semantic accents move — an alert’s stripe, a blockquote’s rule — because those mark where a line of text begins.
