# Luna carries the structure. Windows 95 Interface 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 Luna (Style, 2001–2006) and its accent from Windows 95 Interface (Style, 1995–2001). Structural cues: The blue taskbar; The green Start button; Rounded frames; Meadow-and-sky optimism. Accent cues, used sparingly: Gray panels framed by a doubled edge, one light line and one dark line, outside and inside; A bar pinned to the bottom of the screen with a single square button at its left end; A flat navy title bar with three small squares grouped at its right end; Small bitmap text with no antialiasing, one letter underlined to mark the keyboard shortcut. Composition: A horizontal bar along the bottom, one primary control at its left. Type and lettering: Bold sans in white, contrasted hard against the blue ground. Let one material quality come from the second style: Carve everything from four values: the gray face, a white highlight, a mid gray shadow, a black outline. Build relief from an outer and an inner line, and swap light for dark on press.. Mood: Intimacy, Play, Trust, Technology, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #C0C0C0, #000080, #008080. 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Microsoft UI, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Luna: Copying only the palette while dropping the rounding and swell leaves the colors floating, and none of the optimism arrives.
# - Windows 95 Interface: Copy the gray and the doubled line but add rounded corners or soft shadows, and the direction of the carving stops reading, taking the hardness that defined the original with it.
