yukey's (default) aesthetic🔗

Aesthetically, yukey should feel:

• Very cyber
• Very SCADA
• Very functional/brutalist
• ... but it's always ready to explain itself.

And things should have a visual "cadence", and it should be regular.

At a high level, that's the vibe.

Nitty Gritty Details🔗

content of a row has consistent width and fills its container🔗

... and this explicitly includes the focus box.

It is visually distressing for the focus box to be erratically sized from one row to the next.

So:

• The focusable unit in data rows is sized consistently, by the container -- never by struggle-hugging whatever content happens to be inside.
• Rows in one set of components should generally be the same height and the same width. (Mechanically: the focus box being drawn on any two neighbors should mean drawing the same shape at the same size, just in a coordinate offset on a single axis.)
• Tabular data should be tabular: columns align, etc; and like the rules for rows, so too it still applies that the focus box should be regularly and unsurprisingly sized for neighboring elements for tables.
