# Ubuntu Yaru (Ubuntu Yaru) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.570 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/ubuntu-yaru
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Ubuntu Yaru, a style from Platform Screen Languages, 2018–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: unifying the Ubuntu desktop, default applications and distribution assets, or adding a distribution identity while remaining compatible with upstream GNOME. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Light window body contrasted with a dark header bar
- Ubuntu orange for selection and focus
- Suru-derived icons based on circles, squares and vertical or horizontal oblongs
- One-pixel icon edge, restrained gradient and lower shadow

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: Preserve GTK structure, using the dark header and orange focus ring to declare the active window
- Type and lettering: Use Ubuntu type and short labels; avoid lettering inside icons
- Material and surface: Reuse the Suru palette, restrained gradients and translucent dark outlines to keep icons from drifting apart
- Colour: #FAFAFA carries the ground, #E95420 is the colour the style is remembered by, #2C001E 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, trust

## What goes wrong

Large overrides of Adwaita collide with application styling. Contain Ubuntu identity in color, headers and iconography instead of restructuring widgets.

## 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.
