# KDE Oxygen (KDE Oxygen) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.581 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/kde-oxygen
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of KDE Oxygen, a style from Platform Screen Languages, 2006–2014.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: giving many desktop applications one icon and chrome language, or recreating the material character of late-2000s open-source desktops. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Pale-gray chrome with blue selection and restrained gloss
- Dimensional icons with one-pixel edges and a lower shelf shadow
- One upper-diagonal light source across materials
- Toolbars and docks grouped by fine separators

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Stack menu, toolbar, work surface and status areas with fine boundaries; color only priority actions blue
- Type and lettering: Keep sans labels small and clear, letting distinct icon silhouettes lead recognition
- Material and surface: Build from pale gray and blue, applying one-pixel edges, a common light source and a soft lower shadow to every icon
- Colour: #EEF3F5 carries the ground, #3DAEE9 is the colour the style is remembered by, #273238 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: technique, intimacy, futurity

## What goes wrong

Glossy blue icons alone do not make Oxygen. Synchronize lighting, edge treatment and shadow height across the entire set.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
