What problem does it solve?

Provide a consistent set of modern CSS patterns and guidance to add depth, polish, and readable contrast to user interfaces—especially for dark themes and physical-display contexts—while avoiding common performance pitfalls.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Gradient systems for hero, accent, text, border and mesh backgrounds to create rich color layers.
• Glassmorphism primitives (cards, buttons, frosted surfaces) with backdrop blur and accessible contrast guidance.
• Glow and neon treatments including ambient, button, pulsing and neon text/box glows for emphasis.
• Shadow patterns (elevated, layered, colored, inset) and overlay utilities (gradient overlay, noise texture, vignette).
• Camera/video UI elements like viewfinder corners, face-detection highlights, and animated scan lines for totem or kiosk interfaces.
• Performance notes and anti-patterns focused on minimizing expensive backdrop-filter and box-shadow animations for real hardware.

Quick Start

Apply a hero gradient background, a frosted-glass card with backdrop blur, and a subtle ambient glow to the primary landing section to add depth while keeping text legible.
