SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dithered helps teams create high-contrast, retro dot-pattern visuals that simulate shades using a limited palette without sacrificing clarity or accessibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dot-pattern shading direction: guides how to use dot density/placement to suggest different tones while staying visually minimal and modern.
  • Tokenized visual foundations: defines typography, spacing, and a constrained color palette (primary/secondary/success/warning/danger/surface/text/neutral) for consistent implementation.
  • Accessibility and UI quality gates: enforces WCAG 2.2 AA principles, visible focus, keyboard-first behavior, and testable acceptance criteria to prevent low-contrast or interaction regressions.

Quick Start

Use the dithered skill to design an accessible, minimal UI theme that renders surfaces with a dot-pattern shading approach, using the provided palette and typography tokens.

Frequently Asked Questions about dithered

FAQPage Schema
How do I create retro dot-pattern shading for UI components without losing accessibility?▼

Retro dot-pattern shading simulates tones using limited color palettes and dot density. This approach enforces WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, keyboard-first interactions, and explicit state handling (hover, focus-visible, active) to maintain high-contrast accessibility.

What are design tokens and how do they apply to dithering visuals?▼

Design tokens define typography, spacing, and a constrained color palette (primary, secondary, success, warning, danger, surface, text, neutral) for dithering visuals. Token-first guidance ensures consistent implementation across surfaces while maintaining retro aesthetics.

Does dot-pattern rendering work with standard UI component states like loading and error?▼

Dot-pattern rendering applies to default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, and error states. Explicit state handling ensures visual clarity and accessibility across responsive layouts and component variations.

Can I use a limited color palette for high-contrast interfaces while meeting WCAG 2.2 AA?▼

Limited color palettes can meet WCAG 2.2 AA by enforcing visible focus, keyboard-first behavior, and testable acceptance criteria. Constrained palettes (primary/secondary/success/warning/danger/surface/text/neutral) prevent low-contrast regressions in retro interfaces.

When should I not use dot-pattern shading for UI theming?▼

Dot-pattern shading may not suit interfaces requiring photographic detail or smooth gradients. When dot density cannot achieve sufficient contrast ratios for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance or clarity in empty/loading/error states, consider alternative rendering approaches.
