Foundations

Elevation

Soft, quiet shadows after Spectrum 2's layered structure: a light ambient layer and a faint key line, so surfaces lift without looking heavy. A little stronger in dark.

Shadows

Glass

Glass the way Apple uses it: only for the navigation layer that floats above content (the side navigation, the floating toolbar, the phone tab bar, the drawer, menus). Content stays on solid surfaces. A translucent fill that blurs and saturates what scrolls beneath, a bright inner rim, a specular line along the top, a dark hairline outside and a soft deep shadow. Solid with prefers-reduced-transparency. Not a gradient.
