Iron Men Properties · Glass × Clay world · v2 — dual theme

Style & UI guide

The complete atomic vocabulary for the rebuild: gradient-lifted green on fills, glass in two strengths, five radii, and every element a site or web app build reaches for. Toggle the theme — every recipe resolves through semantic tokens in both modes.

Colors

Semantic tokens flip with the theme. Accent text is green-hot on dark and green-deep on light — vivid green never carries text on light grounds.

Gradients

Green lives as light across a surface, not a flat chip: three sanctioned ramps, applied to fills only — never to text (emphasis comes from weight and size).

The glass material

Blur 20px, 1px line, lit rim. Standard on quiet grounds; strong is the legibility floor over photography.

Motion

The focal move is condensation — glass arrives by focusing from blur, once, on entry. Everything else is feedback: ≤250ms state changes, moving light on green fills, exits faster than entrances. Reduced-motion renders everything settled.

Semantic first: components reference these names, never raw values. Light mode redefines the same names.
