Borderless Tint

Every style renders this same screen, so the only thing changing between two of them is the style. The component above is the file below, running.

Design this interface in the Borderless Tint style. Nothing is outlined. Grouping happens through a faint tint change between surface and page, which means spacing has to be right or the layout falls apart.

Build every surface the Tinted way: Surfaces are a wash of the accent over the page — no border, no shadow, only a shift in tone saying where one group ends.

Use exactly these values: background #f6f7f9, surfaces #ffffff, text #161a1f, secondary text #575e68, accent #4a5bd4 with #ffffff on it; corner radius 8/12/18px; no borders and no separators at all; no shadows of any kind; system-ui for body at 14px, line height 1.5; 4px spacing grid, regular spacing.

Never: outlines and dividers; shadows; heavy fills; cramped spacing.

Dark mode uses background #0c0d10, surfaces #15171b, text #f0f1f4, accent #96a3ff — the same style, not an inverted one.

The numbers in this prompt are printed from the tokens below, so it cannot drift from what the specimen renders.

Measured contrast — body 16.3:1 light, 17.21:1 dark; secondary text 6.11:1 and 7.46:1. Every pair clears WCAG AA in both themes, checked on each build.

/**
 * Vibary · Borderless Tint
 *
 * No borders anywhere — surfaces separate themselves with a tint instead.
 *
 * One complete product screen, rendered from the token object below —
 * the same screen every other Vibary specimen renders, so the style
 * is the only variable. Self-contained: React only, no CSS file, no
 * assets, no chart library.
 *
 * `theme` defaults to following the system setting; pass "light" or
 * "dark" to pin one.
