Summary

Full redesign of Felt Ledger from the dark theme to a clean light theme, auditing every color token in the codebase (60+ distinct tokens inventoried and remapped). The felt-green accent is retained for buttons, active tabs, and pills — those keep white text.

Color mapping

Layer Dark → Light
App background near-black gradient → slate-100 with white cards
Text white + opacity scale → slate-900/800/700/600/500/400/300
Borders / shadows white-alpha → slate-200/100, soft slate shadows
P&L (green/red/amber) -400-600/-700 for contrast on white
Status panels (Risk of Ruin, toasts, banners) translucent /15–/20 fills → light -50/-100 tints
Charts dark grid/axis + dark tooltip → light grid, white tooltip, deeper line palette
Misc heatmap empty cell, scrollbars, skeleton shimmer, iOS status bar, theme-color, PWA manifest

Notes

  • The 14 white-on-green (bg-felt-500) cases were explicitly protected so button text stays white.
  • A final sweep confirms zero dark-only tokens remain in src, index.html, or index.css.

Verification

  • npm run build
  • npm test ✅ (14 tests)

Open questions for review

  • Some tiny secondary labels use slate-400 (a bit light on white) — easy to bump to slate-500.
  • Tooltips/popovers are now white cards; a dark tooltip is also an option if more contrast is preferred.

Full redesign from dark to a clean light theme, auditing every color token:
- Surfaces: dark ink backgrounds -> white cards on slate-100 app background
- Text: white/opacity scale -> slate scale (900/800/700/600/500/400/300)
- Borders: white-alpha -> slate-200/100; shadows softened to slate
- P&L semantics: emerald/rose/amber shifted to -600/-700 for contrast on light
- Colored panels (RoR, toasts, banners): /15-/20 fills -> -50/-100 light tints
- Charts: light grid/axis, white tooltip, darker line palette for white bg
- Day-of-week heatmap empty cell, scrollbars, skeleton shimmer all lightened
- index.html: light theme-color, default iOS status bar, no dark class
- PWA manifest theme/background -> light
- Green felt-500 accent retained for buttons/active states (white text kept)

- Typography: adopt Inter; tighter tracking, tabular figures for all numbers
- Surfaces: elevated .card system (ring + soft shadow) replacing flat borders
- Iconography: crisp inline SVG icon set (Icon.jsx) replaces emoji in nav,
  header, banners, modals; spade brand mark in a gradient tile
- Navigation: desktop segmented pill (white active chip), mobile bottom bar
  with accent indicator and stroke-weight emphasis
- Dashboard: new gradient bankroll 'hero' card (balance + P&L/30d/ROI deltas
  with trend arrows, buy-ins badge) replacing the flat overview grid
- Refined MetricCard, Risk-of-Ruin tile, header chips, and modals
- Tailwind: felt 50-700 scale, card/hero shadows, Inter sans stack
