Design principles

  • Content first. Chrome second.
  • Brand accent does the heavy lifting.
  • Generous whitespace, calm hierarchy.
  • Mono for numbers, sans for prose.

Vibe · inspired by Arc Browser

Arc Browser's identity is anchored in user-customized 'spaces' — pick a color, pick a gradient, and your whole browser takes that personality. Heavy rounded radii, soft shadows, lots of glassy/blurred surfaces. Feels like a browser that wants to be your favorite app, not a utility.

Comparable to: Arc Browser, Sigma OS, Microsoft Edge Workspaces (more conservative)

Usage · do & don't

Do
  • Use #FF5733 for one primary action per view.
  • Reserve mono for numbers, code, and identifiers.
  • Keep cards on surface, page on background.
  • Maintain consistent corner radius across components.
Don't
  • Don't stack more than one primary CTA per fold.
  • Don't use the primary color for long-form body text.
  • Don't drop heavy shadows everywhere — let surfaces breathe.
  • Don't mix mono and sans in the same heading.

Best for

  • Consumer browsers, personal-productivity tools
  • Theming-heavy customizable apps
  • Apps where personality is the feature

Avoid for

  • Enterprise dashboards
  • Restrained dev tools
  • Industrial UIs
