# Adwaita carries the structure. Material Design appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Adwaita (Style, 2011–) and its accent from Material Design (Style, 2014–). Structural cues: A single header bar across the top of the window, laid out on three alignment points with the window heading in the centre; Header bar buttons carry no background and no border, leaving only the symbol and the label on the surface; Monochrome symbolic icons drawn at 16 by 16 pixels with 2 pixel strokes and no perspective; A published palette of five steps per hue, including Blue 3 at #3584e4. Accent cues, used sparingly: Hierarchy and shadow expressed by elevation; Surfaces overlapping like sheets of paper; Motion that shows cause and effect; A standardized unit of spacing. Composition: Put a header bar at the top, main actions at the start, the heading in the middle, menus at the end. Always leave blank area so the bar can be dragged. Group buttons with spacing rather than by linking them.. Type and lettering: Identify a control with either an icon or a label, not both. The exceptions are sidebar rows and view switchers.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Give surfaces elevation and show front and back by the density of the shadow.. Mood: Technology, Calm, Trust, Play. Color: build on #3584e4, #f6f5f4, #241f31 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Adwaita: Hard coded colour values only break once someone switches to the dark or high contrast style, which is exactly the state the author never looks at.
# - Material Design: Do not add shadow as decoration. The moment the elevation rules break, the hierarchy is telling a lie.
