An original image that takes its structure from Holo (Style, 2011–2014) and its accent from Metro (Style, 2010–2015). Structural cues: White text on black, with sections divided by one pixel hairlines instead of filled panels; A single cyan blue at #33B5E5 lighting only selection, the underline of a text field, and progress; A full width action bar pinned to the top, and a strip of Back, Home and Recents keys at the bottom; Tab labels and list section headers set in bold, all uppercase. Accent cues, used sparingly: Type as the hero; Flat-color tiles; Compositions running off-screen; Chrome eliminated. Composition: A full width action bar is fixed at the top and a single column list fills the space under it. Sections are separated by hairlines rather than white space, and a strip is reserved at the bottom for the navigation keys.. Type and lettering: One geometric leaning sans across the whole interface, in two weights only. Tabs and section headers go uppercase with the tracking opened slightly.. Let one material quality come from the second style: No shadows or borders, black or white ground, saturated flat panels. Mood: Technology, Futurism, Calm, Trust, Rebellion. Color: build on #000000, #33B5E5, #F3F3F3 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
# - Holo: Redrawing the widgets so they no longer inherit from the theme throws away the one thing this style buys you, which is looking identical across devices, and leaves your app the odd one out on a skinned phone.
# - Metro: Stripping every border and shadow erases the difference between a tappable tile and a plain heading, leaving people guessing where to touch.
