Launches, search & content, referrals, promotions- Limelight v2.6 is built for iPhone Duo. It took a lot of work to get the outer display, the inner display, and every fold position right, and I’m proud of how it turned out. I also couldn't help myself and added in a few more features.

- The iPhone Duo is such a delight to use. My muscle memory is still fighting me a bit, but I'm starting to remember where not to place my fingers when unfolding the Duo and to keep my thumb ready for Touch ID.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome
Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #000000;
--surface: #191919;
--foreground: #eeeeee;
--muted-foreground: #969696;
--accent: #94d900;
--radius: 8px;
--font-heading: "SF Pro Display", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "SF Pro Display", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #000000 (~79%) · Surface #191919 (~12%) · Text #EEEEEE (~5%) · Muted Text #969696 (~3%) · Accent #94D900 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.
## Avoid
- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color
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.
