The header and composer were full-bleed bands (flush to the top/right/bottom
viewport edges, composer corners off-screen) next to a rail that floats with a
12px margin. The new --layout-gutter (12px) spaces the rail, header, empty-state
card and composer identically on every side; --radius-panel/-control/-chip
(-pill) replace the ad-hoc radii across the shared classes, so every panel is
rounded on all four corners and shared controls match in every theme. The
desktop-only ::after hairlines and the left-corner-only radius are gone.
Aero: the rail and the chat chrome (answers included) share one even recipe -
the wallpaper extra-blurred into a hue-free wash (background-glass.webp) under a
uniform ~50% white veil and a whisper of gloss. Measured within ~10 RGB units
across the rail top->bottom and the card/composer left->right; the blue->green
smear and the teal composer are gone. The composer's field is a clean even tile
with no wallpaper gradient inside it.
Chat fixes: send is a filled primary tile shaped exactly like attach (dimmed
while the input is empty), suggestion/context chips use the shared .chip token
(40/44px target, visible rim, full-contrast text, raw model id in the tooltip),
the AI note reads at 12px --text-muted (.ai-disclaimer), the selected sidebar
row carries the accent border + accent icon, the theme toggle is back in Aero
(the moon flips to Dark; Settings brings Aero back), and the empty state is
centered exactly between header and composer.
Outside CSS: the wallpaper's top-left HUD-circle decoration (it peeked through
the 12px gutters on wide windows) was healed out of background.webp and
background-blur.webp; the orbs/bubbles ride one masked .ice-floats layer that
fades them under the chrome bands and the rail strip, so none is sliced by a
panel edge (still parked under reduced motion).
Version 0.6.0, SW -> freezmo-v82. Tests: chat suite pins the new geometry (12px
gutter, 24px corners, even wash on all four panels, send-vs-attach shape,
chips/input radii); mobile pins the phone chrome and the Aero toggle; bubbles
pins the floats layer + its reduced-motion opt-out.
The white surfaces were reading as a milky white panel (a card top was
~71% white). The frosted recipes now use a 14% base veil plus the gloss
over the pre-blurred wallpaper, small chrome (rows, chips, segments,
buttons) keeps a touch more veil, and nothing nested inside a sheet or
dialog uses the viewport-aligned layer (it showed the raw dark water
under the settings theme labels at 1.5:1 — nested chrome falls back to
the flat fills over the genuinely blurred sheet).
The first-load text bug was the boot script: its dark test was
`s && !a ? s === 'dark' : matchMedia(...)`, which for a stored aero fell
through to the OS preference, so a dark-preferring machine loaded with
both `dark` and `aero` classes and every `.dark` rule painted over the
wallpaper until a theme toggle re-applied the classes. The stored value
now decides alone; a dark-colorScheme check pins it in the mobile suite
(123 checks).
Background: the user's latest Gemini scene (1280x714) re-encoded to
public/aero/background.webp (206 kB) with a fresh pre-blurred sibling.
Contrast: 0 below-minimum findings, 0 axe violations, all three themes.
Version 0.3.1, SW -> freezmo-v62.
The same Gemini scene at 1280x714 (was 1024x572): public/aero/
background.webp is 213 kB, and the pre-blurred glass layer is regenerated
with a proper cover-fit so it still lines up with the sharp wallpaper.
Contrast: 0 below-minimum findings, 0 axe violations. Version 0.2.9,
SW -> freezmo-v61.
The scene is the user's own Frutiger Aero image now: green hills, a river,
an eco-city, bubbles and daisies. Re-encoded to public/aero/background.webp
(152 kB) with a fresh 3 kB pre-blurred variant for the glass, and the
WallpaperSafari credit line, its i18n keys and the README credit are gone
(the image is made by the user with Gemini).
Contrast: 0 below-minimum findings and 0 axe violations, all three themes.
Version 0.2.8, SW -> freezmo-v60.
The wallpaper is the one from the mockup: "The S Aesthetic That You
Definitely Recognize Frutiger Aero" via WallpaperSafari
(https://wallpapersafari.com/w/IlWuz7) — the URL in the request pointed at a
different (teal abstract) wallpaper, this is the grass/sky/water one that
matches the screenshot. Re-encoded to a 237 kB WebP in public/aero/, used as
the scene in aero only (light/dark never download it), and credited in
Settings next to the theme picker.
The drawn CSS scene (rays, reeds, skyline, caustics) is off over the photo;
the ten rising bubbles stay, and the orbs became extra bubbles. Buttons and
segments are liquid glass now — translucent, glossed top half, bright rim,
backdrop blur — instead of the solid aqua fill. Helper lines that sit
straight on the wallpaper (the keyboard tip, the AI note) get a small glass
chip: dark text on grass measured 2.5:1.
Also carries: the underwater scene + bubbles work, the floating cookie
notice, the Czech title (Tvůj mrazák) and the review-suite fix that made the
last deploy fail its gate.
Contrast: 0 below-minimum findings, 0 axe violations across all three
themes. Version 0.2.2, SW -> freezmo-v56.
