# Aero carries the structure. XrossMediaBar (XMB) 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 Aero (Style, 2006–2012) and its accent from XrossMediaBar (XMB) (Layout, 2003–2013). Structural cues: Frosted frames; Reflections and highlights; Live thumbnails; GPU-composited depth. Accent cues, used sparingly: A horizontal row and a vertical column cross slightly left of center, and only the item at that crossing glows gold; Text labels appear for the selected item alone; the rest of the rows are icons only; The ground is one near black navy and the icons are thin pale blue outlines rather than filled shapes; Left and right move through categories, up and down through items, but it is the rows that slide while the crossing stays put. Composition: Glass only on the frame, content areas kept fully opaque. Type and lettering: Small light labels on the frame, dark enough to survive translucency. Let one material quality come from the second style: Thin pale blue outline icons on a near black ground; emphasis comes only from lighting the one item at the crossing in gold, never from filling an area.. Mood: Futurism, Luxury, Technology, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #223442, #BEE3F5, #E0BA73. 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
# - Aero: Spreading translucency and gloss across the whole screen makes legibility shift with whatever moves behind the text, and hides what is clickable.
# - XrossMediaBar (XMB): Move a highlight instead of holding the crossing still and the viewer loses their place the moment a row grows long.
