Mint Status Effects
===================

12 flat status effect frames and duration indicators for dark interfaces —
blue-grey with mint green accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Mint Status Effects is a set of 12 status effect frames and duration
indicators drawn in the flat style, where there are no outlines and no shading
at all. It contains buff, debuff and neutral frames, permanent and expiring
frames, five duration ring steps, a duration bar and a stack count badge.

A buff icon sits on screen for three seconds and the player never looks
straight at it — they catch it in the corner of their eye. That rules out the
usual solution: a green border for good and a red one for bad collapses in
colourblind modes, and it collides with whatever colours the game itself is
already using on that HUD.

Depth comes only from a layered soft shadow — three stacked passes rather than
a blur filter, because some SVG rasterisers scale a blur wrongly and the 4x
PNG comes out as a smear. Everything else is one solid colour.

Inside that style this is the Mint reading of it: a dark interface on a
blue-grey palette with mint green accents, built around a header band across
the top of the frame, square-cornered buttons at 120x36, tick-marked bars
divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 16px 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.

Buff and debuff are separated by shape instead. The buff frame pushes its
corners outward and the debuff frame folds them inward: one grows, the other
eats. Both survive a greyscale screenshot. Duration is a ring around the icon
rather than a bar beneath it, because a bar pushes every icon down a few
pixels and breaks the row. The rings ship as five steps rather than one sprite
because most engines cannot clip an SVG at runtime — a filling ring is either
a shader or a step atlas, and the atlas works everywhere. The frames ship
empty: your own effect icon goes in the middle.

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 Mint family, which
means this kit and the Mint panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for minimal and mobile interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Put your effect icon in the recessed centre at about 60% of the frame
    width; the recess is drawn with that margin.
  - Swap the whole frame between buff and debuff rather than tinting one,
    because the difference is in the corners.
  - Play the duration rings as an ordered sequence from full to empty, or use
    the ring at 50 percent as the single frame when the exact remainder does
    not matter.
  - Anchor the stack badge to the top-right corner of the frame and draw the
    count with your own font — no digits are drawn here.
