Candy Backdrops
===============

7 cartoon background and overlay pieces for light interfaces — warm cream with
bubblegum pink accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Candy Backdrops is a set of 7 background and overlay pieces drawn in the
cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single
sparkle. It contains a full-screen menu backdrop, a seamless pattern tile, a
modal dimming overlay, a title banner, a section divider and a loading bar
track and fill.

This is the piece most free UI kits leave out entirely. A kit that gives you
panels and buttons but nothing to put them on stops being useful at the first
screen you build, and the backdrop is the one thing you cannot fake with a
flat colour without the whole menu looking unfinished.

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 Candy reading of it: a light interface on a warm
cream palette with bubblegum pink accents, built around two concentric frames,
fully rounded pill buttons at 168x56, banded bars divided into 6 segments, and
solid icons on a 32px 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.

The backdrop is where an art style has the most room to show itself, so it is
drawn differently in each: dithered bands, a triangulated mosaic, hatched
paper, an isometric grid, a hard-edged horizon. It ships at 640x360 and
exports to 2560x1440 at 4x, which covers 1080p with the aspect held, so it
stretches to any resolution with a single cover fit. The pattern tile closes
every motif inside its own bounds, so tiling shows no seam.

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 Candy family,
which means this kit and the Candy panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for anime and cartoon games.

HOW TO USE

  - Use the backdrop with a cover fit rather than stretch — the 16:9 aspect is
    deliberate and distorting it is visible immediately on a gradient.
  - Tile the pattern behind lists and inventory grids at 1x for a fine texture
    or 2x for a coarse one; it is seamless in both directions.
  - Draw the scrim between the game and a modal at full screen. It is the
    style palette rather than flat black, so it does not grey out a coloured
    game.
