Scan repo for theme colors
Identify purple/indigo references
□ Update CSS variables to blue/black
□ Replace explicit purple values
□ Add subtle blue glow effects
□ Review for consistency
Next, I’ll update the CSS variables and replace purple-specific styles with blue glow on black across css/styles.css
and css/cards.css.

What I Changed
- Theme Vars: Switched to blue on black in css/styles.css (:root):
- –primary-color: #3b82f6, --primary-hover: #2563eb
- –primary-gradient-start: #3b82f6, --primary-gradient-end: #1d4ed8
- –bg-color: #000000, --card-gradient-start: #0b1220, --card-gradient-end: #000000
- Blue Glow: Added subtle blue glow effects:
- logo h1, .card h2, .card h3 use filter: drop-shadow(…) in css/styles.css
- .btn-primary:hover now emits a blue glow shadow
- Cards/Buttons: Replaced purple gradients/shadows in css/cards.css:
- .card-modern background is deep black gradient
- Active card shadow uses blue glow
- .install-btn gradient is blue (#3b82f6 → #2563eb)
- Swiper Glow: Active slide glow updated to blue in css/styles.css
- Drag-Over Hint: Upload-area drag gradient now blue in css/styles.css
- Cursor Trail: Default fallback color updated to blue in js/ui/cursor-trail.js
Files Touched
- css/styles.css
- css/cards.css
- js/ui/cursor-trail.js
How To Preview
- Run npm install then npm run dev, open the site and confirm the blue glow on black look across headers, buttons, app
cards, and cursor trail.
Tweaks?
- Want a brighter neon glow (e.g., cyan #00d1ff) or a softer near‑black background instead of pure black? I can adjust
the variables quickly.
