Construction · Frosted
Panels are frosted rather than clear: a soft blur, a milky translucency, and a single pale hairline instead of a lit edge.
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.
Prompt
Design this interface in the Fluent Acrylic style. Panels are acrylic: blurred, slightly translucent, sitting over a tinted background. Corners are a moderate 8px and controls stay small and dense. Build every surface the Frosted way: Panels are frosted rather than clear: a soft blur, a milky translucency, and a single pale hairline instead of a lit edge. Use exactly these values: background #eef1f6, surfaces #f9fafc, text #1b1d21, secondary text #5a606b, accent #0f6cbd with #ffffff on it; corner radius 4/8/12px; 1px solid borders; a single soft ambient shadow; system-ui for body at 14px, line height 1.4; 4px spacing grid, compact rows; 18px backdrop blur on floating surfaces. Never: opaque flat panels; large radii; loud accent colors; roomy spacing. Dark mode uses background #1f1f24, surfaces #2a2a30, text #eef0f4, accent #60a5e8 — 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.
What carries the look
- acrylic translucency
- 18px backdrop blur
- 8px corners
- compact controls
What this style refuses
- opaque flat panels
- large radii
- loud accent colors
- roomy spacing
The refusals are the half that keeps generated interfaces from converging — a prompt that only says what to add gets the default look.
