How a thing shows it needs a person¶
A lit card, row or tile keeps a neutral ground and shows a 3px status edge, the mark and the word.
Attention is edge, mark, word (theme-v12)¶
Until theme-v11 a lit card was its status mixed into the surface (6–9% orange in raised, a brown in Night) with a 1px orange ring, and a selected tile added a yellow ring outside that: two warm hues 21° apart on one tile. theme-v12 drops every status wash and outline:
| Thing | Ground | Status | Selected / open |
|---|---|---|---|
Card (af-card--lit, --failed, --denied) |
raised |
3px edge on the leading side, inset from the corners; mark; word | n/a |
Agent row and card (af-agent--lit, --failed, --denied) |
raised; lifted + shadow-2 when open |
the same edge; the mark; the word in the now-line; the rail head | open: lifted, focus ring in fg |
Fleet tile, bay, mini card (af-stand, af-bay, af-mini) |
neutral tone | the same edge; the mark; the current pip | 1px fg ring, 2px off the tile |
Table and list row (is-attention) |
unchanged | 3px edge on the first cell | selected + 2px fg edge (an attention row keeps its orange edge) |
Decision (af-decision) |
lifted, radius-sheet, shadow-2 |
the edge, the mark, the word in its hue | n/a |
brand-wash is deprecated: no Airframe rule uses it. Selection is neutral everywhere, so the yellow never sits around orange.
