To maintain visual cohesion across the entire Hoox ecosystem (web landing pages, Astro documentation sites, Zustand Next.js dashboards, and terminal UIs), the platform implements a standardized, high-integrity design system. This document catalogs our color tokens, spacing densities, border-radius behaviors, and provides the complete SVG Icon Mapping Catalog used inside the documentation navigation chrome.

🎨 1. OKLCH Color Palette

Hoox utilizes OKLCH color values to ensure perceptually uniform brightness and high contrast across all edge screens and operating systems:

Dark Mode (Primary Visual Standard)

  • Background (--background): oklch(0.08 0 0) — Deep charcoal/black.
  • Foreground (--foreground): oklch(0.95 0 0) — Bright neutral Zinc/white.
  • Card (--card): oklch(0.12 0 0) — Slightly elevated dark panel grey.
  • Accent (--accent): oklch(0.70 0.20 45) — High-contrast bright orange (used for focal actions and headers).
  • Muted Foreground (--muted-foreground): oklch(0.68 0 0) — Secondary readability text.
  • Borders (--border): oklch(0.30 0 0) — Low-contrast dark grey dividers.

📐 2. Layout, Borders & Density

  • Border Radius (--radius): Restored globally to 0.5rem (8px) to soften panel boundaries without losing the clean command-center aesthetic.
  • Shadows: Cards and active modal prompts bind a highly contrasting deep shadow: shadow-2xl -> box-shadow: 0 25px 50px -12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
  • Spacing Density: Standardize grid gutters using Tailwind flex/grid spaces:
    • Cards Grid: gap-6 (24px) for dashboard cards.
    • Sidebar Items: gap-0.5 (2px) vertical padding between nav links.

🔤 3. Typography & Runtimes


📦 4. SVG Icon Mapping Catalog

To ensure visual consistency and completely eliminate platform-inconsistent emojis, the navigation chrome (Sidebar.astro and MobileNav.astro) maps dynamic section keys to clean, flat, inline SVGs:

A. Rocket Icon (getting-started)

Used to represent system setup and installation paths.

B. Book Icon (guides)

Used to represent operational manuals and setup instructions.

C. Lightbulb Icon (concepts)

Used to represent structural theories and edge architectures.

D. Book-Open Icon (reference)

Used to represent dictionary definitions, configuration matrices, and API details.

E. Target Icon (tutorials)

Used to represent step-by-step walkthroughs and integration guides.

F. Gear Icon (devops & workers)

Used to represent background cron engines, system setups, and deployment configs.

G. Home House Icon (home)

Used to return to the parent portal.
