For example screen off or opening the Recent Apps screen. Nova will automatically prompt you to enable this if it is necessary for your configuration, for many cases it is not! No data is collected from the AccessibilityService, it is merely used to invoke system actions. This app uses the Device Administrator permission for optional screen off/lock functionality. This app uses a Notification Listener for optional badges on icons and media playback controls.

# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop

Full-bleed high-saturation brand backdrops, oversized bold display type, and high-contrast buttons, common across creator tools and consumer apps.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #e5532a;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #f4f4f4;
  --accent: #2e93d8;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Roboto", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Roboto", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #E5532A (~48%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~6%) · Text #FFFFFF (~5%) · Muted Text #F4F4F4 (~3%) · Accent #2E93D8 (~38%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: No Explicit Nav
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Muted corporate gray palettes
- Tiny low-contrast body text
- Overly formal enterprise tables

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
