Pull request overview
This PR updates the site’s global visual system in assets/css/styles.css, shifting core color tokens and several top-level component surfaces toward a darker, more “heritage + restrained-futuristic” aesthetic with grid/texture overlays, reduced radius, and softer shadows.
Changes:
- Updated
:rootdesign tokens (new ink/metal/glass accents, deeper base colors, reduced--radius, softened--shadow). - Reworked
bodybackground layering to add subtle grid overlays plus revised gradient palette. - Refined key surfaces/components (
.topbar,.btn.secondary,.card,.item,.hero,.art-card,.metric,.section-heading) with new glass/metal treatments and micro-accent details.
