Elegant dark interfaces with layered surface hierarchy, precise contrast ratios, and blue-accented interactions optimized for professional tools.
Every component follows the dark-mode physics: inset glow buttons, illumination-on-hover cards, and visible focus rings with ring-offset-slate-900.

Danger / error
The dark-mode physics model: illumination on hover, inset glow buttons, tactile press, visible focus.
Light text on dark — never pure white. Hierarchy through weight and luminance, not size alone.
Display — text-5xl / font-bold
Dark Mode
Heading 1 — text-3xl / font-semibold
System Design
Heading 2 — text-xl / font-semibold
Component Library
Body — text-base / text-slate-300
Comfortable reading in low-light environments requires careful contrast ratios and appropriate line height.
Caption — text-sm / text-slate-400
Secondary information and metadata labels
// Authentication middlewareimport { verify } from "@/lib/auth"; export async function middleware(req: Request) { const token = req.headers.get("authorization"); if (!token) { return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 }); } const payload = await verify(token.split(" ")[1]); return payload ? next(req) : forbidden();}Inline code
Use focus:ring-offset-slate-900 to ensure the focus ring is visible against dark surfaces. Pair with active:scale-[0.98] for tactile feedback.
Tabs for in-page context switching. Sidebar panels for app-level navigation. Both use blue-500 as the active indicator.

Overview
Monitor your system status, recent deployments, and team activity at a glance.
Semantic color overlays at 10% opacity preserve readability on dark surfaces. Icons anchor the status at a glance.
Information
A new software update is available. Restart to apply changes.
Success
Deployment complete — all 12 services are running normally.
Warning
CPU usage at 87% — consider scaling the compute tier.
Error
Database connection failed. Check credentials and network access.
Progress bars use the semantic color vocabulary. Warning states transition to amber automatically.
