Objective

Deliver a high-end visual system that improves clarity, focus, and perceived product quality.

Scope

  • Define design tokens for typography, spacing, radii, elevation, and semantic colors.
  • Improve contrast and legibility for symbols, net labels, diagnostics, and status text.
  • Refine panel surfaces/borders/background depth for clearer information hierarchy.
  • Provide a visible legend for net class color semantics and maintain consistency.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Meets WCAG AA contrast targets for core UI text and controls.
  • Schematic readability is improved at default zoom without visual clutter.
  • Color semantics are documented and visible in-product.
  • Visual baseline screenshots are updated with deliberate review sign-off.

Completed in commit 2ff3856.

Delivered:

  • Introduced a richer visual token system in frontend/styles.css (color, contrast, spacing, elevation, radii).
  • Reworked panel/control hierarchy for clearer scanability and stronger foreground/background separation.
  • Improved control, list, diagnostics, modal, and editor visual consistency.
  • Added an explicit in-product net class color legend in the left pane (frontend/index.html) with semantic swatches.
  • Intentionally updated UI visual baselines for core scenes.

Validation:

  • npm test
  • npm run test:ui:update-baselines
  • npm run test:ui
