# Metal (Java Look and Feel) carries the structure. Luna 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 Metal (Java Look and Feel) (Style, 1998–) and its accent from Luna (Style, 2001–2006). Structural cues: Internal window title bars laid as a deep blue violet band over a pale blue violet field; A fine texture of dots and diagonal ticks stamped into title bars and dividers; Rectangular buttons with no corner radius, ringed by a one pixel deep blue violet line; The host system draws the outer window frame while everything inside it follows a different visual language. Accent cues, used sparingly: The blue taskbar; The green Start button; Rounded frames; Meadow-and-sky optimism. Composition: Fix four bands inside the window: menu, tool strip, work area, status strip. Leave the host window frame alone and paint only what is inside it.. Type and lettering: Run a single sans throughout and separate levels with weight and color only. Keep to two type sizes and leave headings undecorated.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Saturated blue and green, frames swelled by rounding and gradient. Mood: Technology, Trust, Intimacy, Play. Color: build on #CCCCFF, #9999CC, #666699 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
# - Metal (Java Look and Feel): Since Java SE 5 the default theme has been Ocean, which drains most of the blue violet away, so building on the assumption that Metal means blue violet will not match what actually runs.
# - Luna: Copying only the palette while dropping the rounding and swell leaves the colors floating, and none of the optimism arrives.
