Iconography

Outlined variable icon font with compact runtime glyphs

Optical outlined glyphs; use 1.5–2px visual weight stroke · 16px / 20px / 24px

Use explicit labels for files, runtime, isolation, resume, and stop; icons supplement the status and never carry status by color alone.

Guidelines

Do

  • Use a near-black console surface and reserve lime for runtime/announcement/active status.
  • Separate code, runtime, and explanatory copy with borders and monospace metadata.
  • Make boot, active, hibernated, and resumed states explicit and announce them to assistive technology.
  • Keep tables and file lists horizontally safe with overflow handling.

Don't

  • ×Do not copy the CodeSandbox or Together AI marks, product screenshots, or customer logos.
  • ×Do not use lime for body text or large decorative fills where contrast suffers.
  • ×Do not invent a full IDE or hide critical runtime actions in a command-only surface.
  • ×Do not ship the protected TWK Everett files; preserve the documented source link and fallback stack.

Imagery

Use original abstract geometry, code-like lines, gradients, and browser/runtime framing only when they clarify the workflow. Never copy reference screenshots, logos, customer imagery, template thumbnails, or proprietary illustrations.

Layout

Use a centered max-width shell, clear section rhythm, one dominant task per specimen, and a single-column fallback at 520–760px. Keep tables and runtime rows scroll-safe.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
