## JavaScript
```js
(function(){
var root = document.querySelector('.cm-17');
var dlg = root.querySelector('.cm-17__dlg');
root.querySelector('.cm-17__open').addEventListener('click', function(){ dlg.showModal(); });
root.querySelector('.cm-17__x').addEventListener('click', function(){ dlg.close(); });
dlg.addEventListener('click', function(e){
var c = dlg.querySelector('.cm-17__card').getBoundingClientRect();
if(e.clientX < c.left || e.clientX > c.right || e.clientY < c.top || e.clientY > c.bottom) dlg.close();
});
})();
```How this works
A native <dialog> contains hidden radio inputs (one per tab) at the top; a vertical list of <label>s is the nav, and each panel shows via a #tab:checked ~ .panels .panel sibling rule — zero JS for the tab switching. Toggle switches are styled checkboxes; theme choice is a radio group.
The dialog gives focus-trap and Esc for free; the two-column layout collapses to stacked nav-over-content on narrow screens.
Make it yours
- Add tabs by adding a radio + label + panel trio; the layout absorbs them.
- Wire the theme radios to a
data-themeattribute for a live preview. - Swap toggles for your own switch component; keep them real checkboxes.
- Retheme via
--accenton.cm-17.
Gotchas — read before shipping
- Give each tab label
role="tab"-like semantics via the radio it controls; don't fake tabs with non-focusable divs. - Persist changes on toggle or with an explicit Save — decide and make it obvious which; don't lose settings on close.
- Keep panels the same min-height or the dialog will jump as you switch tabs.

Dialog + sibling-selector tabs are universal; animation degrades gracefully.
