Chromepop Modals
================

15 Y2K modal dialogs and system notices for dark interfaces — pure black with
hot pink accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Chromepop Modals is a set of 15 modal dialogs and system notices drawn in the
Y2K style, where everything is flat and printed — thick straight outlines,
solid blocks, no glow anywhere. It contains three modal dialogs at rising
severity, three system plates and three system banners, a three-button footer
row, a close button, a layered backdrop scrim and a plain, a focused and an
error input field.

A modal is not a panel: it stops the game, waits for an answer, and sometimes
the answer cannot be undone. The usual way to say that is a red border, which
collides with the health colour already on screen and disappears the moment a
developer retints the kit to their own palette.

No gradient and no halo: the whole set is flat colour with a heavy straight
outline, which is what separates the Y2K poster look from the neon one. The
silhouettes are composed corner by corner rather than scaled from one
rectangle, so a badge and a banner in the same set do not share an outline.

Inside that style this is the Chromepop reading of it: a dark interface on a
pure black palette with hot pink accents, built around a single bordered
frame, chamfered buttons at 160x44, hollow-cored bars divided into 12
segments, and two-tone 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.

Severity is carried by the thickness of the strip along the top edge rather
than by its hue, three pixels for a notice, six for a warning and ten for
something destructive, so it survives any tint and any greyscale screenshot.
The button positions are fixed and deliberate: cancel sits left and raised,
the committing action sits right and recessed. That ordering becomes muscle
memory across a game, and a kit that varies it is how a player deletes a save
by reflex. The scrim is four stacked steps rather than one even wash, because
a single black sheet over the whole screen kills the art it is dimming.

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 Chromepop family,
which means this kit and the Chromepop panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for retro-futuristic menus and poster-styled interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Keep cancel on the left and the committing action on the right in every
    dialog, including the ones you build yourself from the footer row.
  - Pick the modal by the weight of its top strip rather than retinting one
    sprite. The thickness is the signal.
  - Lay the scrim behind the modal at the size of your screen and tile it: it
    is drawn as discrete steps so it scales without a blur artefact.
  - Use the error input field rather than a red border. It doubles the
    underline, which reads in greyscale and next to a health bar.
