Aqua Quest Log
==============

13 cartoon quest log and objective widgets for dark interfaces — deep teal
with ice blue accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Aqua Quest Log is a set of 13 quest log and objective widgets drawn in the
cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single
sparkle. It contains four journal entry states, three objective row states, a
reward preview strip, an active and an idle journal tab and three countable
difficulty marks.

A quest log is a list where every row means something different from its
neighbour, and the difference is almost always drawn as a colour: green for
done, grey for failed, gold for tracked. Three greys and a gold later the log
reads as a gradient rather than as a list, and a player scanning it for the
one quest they are actually on has to read every line.

The gloss is a hard-edged split at 44% of the height, not a smooth gradient: a
soft fade reads as glass, a hard split reads as drawn. The offset drop shadow
is solid rather than blurred for the same reason.

Inside that style this is the Aqua reading of it: a dark interface on a deep
teal palette with ice blue accents, built around a single bordered frame,
square-cornered buttons at 128x40, glossy bars divided into 10 segments, and
outlined icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can
share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an
edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

All four states carry their mark in the same left-hand column, which is what
lets a long log be scanned down one line rather than read: active takes a bar
down the whole edge, tracked a wedge, done a tick and failed a cross. Done and
failed therefore differ from each other by mark rather than by hue, and the
column stays legible at any row height. The objective rows are a size down
from the entries and share their left margin, which is what makes a nested
objective read as belonging to the quest above it rather than as another
quest.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Aqua family, which
means this kit and the Aqua panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for anime and cartoon games.

HOW TO USE

  - Nine-slice the entries horizontally only; the left edge carries the
    tracked marker and stretching across it would stretch the marker with it.
  - Indent objective rows to the entry margin they are drawn for rather than
    adding your own indent, and the nesting lines up.
  - Use the difficulty marks by count. They are drawn as a countable series so
    a four-pip quest is comparable to a one-pip quest at a glance.
  - Keep the reward strip below the objectives rather than in the entry
    header: it is drawn at full entry width and expects to be the last row of
    an expanded quest.
