About NeoActive
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building on the work from the RetroActive theme, NeoActive applies a subtle grayscale gradient toward the white end of the spectrum. It is meant to blend the strengths of the Monochrome and RetroActive themes.

Guidelines
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Palette
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Icons use grayscale gradient set from 20% gray to white. Gradients are angled at alternating 135 and -45 degree angles to simulate shadows. To add maximum contrast, white highlights and 40% gray shadows are applied to optimize recognition.
|
||
|
|
* Unlike RetroActive icons, NeoActive icons do not have a border.
|
||
|
|
* Translucency is discouraged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Layout
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The design should be easily recognizable.
|
||
|
|
* The icons should be set to a 256x256 canvas and should be centered on a 64x64 grid. Snap design elements to the grid wherever possible to provide maximum clarity and scalability.
|
||
|
|
* The maximum icon size is 232x232 centered on the canvas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Style
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The level of detail is expanded beyond the scope of the monochrome theme, but favors gradients instead of a flat design.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Export
|
||
|
|
* The original source files were created with Adobe Illustrator and saved as PDF files. The SVG and PNG files can be created using the ImageMagick Mogrify command.
