Glaze (by Raycast) is a near-black Mac-app launch page where almost everything is
monochrome and one royal blue does all the talking. The ground is a flat `#121212` with
a barely-lighter `#2c2b2b` tier for the big rounded showcase panels; the hero headline is
Instrument Sans at 48/52.8, weight 500, tracked −1.2px, set centered over an Inter 18px
subline in mid-gray. Chrome is glassy: a floating pill nav with a translucent dark fill
that stays pinned while a colorful app grid slides behind it, and every control — nav
CTA, hero buttons, "Watch Demo" — is a 36px pill, either solid blue or a soft outlined
gray. The product itself carries the color: real macOS windows, a blue blob orb, movie
posters and pastel app icons float on a dark silk backdrop inside a 26px-radius frame,
so the page reads as a quiet dark stage with the apps as the show. Big, deliberate
vertical breathing room between sections and Apple-style card sections ("Describe and
create" + one-line subline + a window mock) give it a calm, premium, first-party feel.

## Steal-worthy details

- Floating pill navigation: a translucent near-black capsule with a hairline divider
  between links and account actions, ending in a solid-blue "Download" pill — it stays
  legible over a colorful scrolling grid because of the blur/tint, not a hard bar. <!-- title: "Floating pill navigation" at: 0.29,0.04 -->
- Two-tone eyebrow "Glaze by Raycast": product name in white, publisher in muted gray,
  same size — a parent-brand credit without a second logo. <!-- title: "Two-tone eyebrow" at: 0.44,0.19 -->
- Paired hero CTAs: solid blue "Download for Mac" with an Apple glyph next to an
  outlined gray "Reinvent your wheel" with a filled play icon — primary and secondary
  share height, radius and weight, only fill differs. <!-- title: "Paired primary and secondary CTAs" at: 0.64,0.46 -->
- Requirement line ("macOS Tahoe and Apple Silicon required") as tiny gray text right
  under the buttons — the honest fine print, placed where you'd look before clicking. <!-- title: "Requirement line under the buttons" at: 0.41,0.51 -->
- Showcase frame with a 26px radius and a dark silk/satin texture behind the app
  windows; the windows overlap at different depths with a play button centered over
  the cluster. <!-- title: "Silk-textured showcase frame" at: 0.17,0.78 -->
- Store strip: rounded-square app icons with gradient art, app name in white, author
  with a tiny avatar in gray beneath, then a single "Explore the Glaze Store →" text link
  instead of a button. <!-- title: "Store strip with author credits" page: 0.22,0.29 -->
- Feature cards that hold a heading + one-sentence subline top-left and a small pill
  action ("Watch Demo") top-right, with the mock filling the rest of the card and
  bleeding off its bottom edge. <!-- title: "Feature card with corner pill action" page: 0.77,0.37 -->
- Agent-progress mock ("Thought for 5s / Project set-up / Planning") as a macOS window
  with traffic lights and a titled pill tab — the product's thinking shown as UI, not as
  a chat bubble. <!-- title: "Agent progress shown as a window" page: 0.31,0.41 -->

## Style recipe

Build a dark, single-accent product page. Page ground `#121212`; raised panels
`#2c2b2b` at ~18–26px radius with no visible border, relying on the tonal step for
edges. Text: white for headings, `#8c8d8d`-ish gray for sublines, `#706f6f` for fine
print. One accent only, royal blue `#245aca` (palette sibling `#265ed1`), used for the
primary CTA fill and nothing decorative; white text on it. Headings in Instrument Sans,
medium (500), tight tracking (−1.2px at 48px, line-height 1.1), centered in the hero and
left-aligned inside cards; body in Inter 18/29 regular, 14px 500 for buttons. Every
interactive control is a 36px pill (`9999px` radius, 16px horizontal padding): primary =
solid blue, secondary = outlined mid-gray with a leading icon. Navigation is a floating
translucent capsule fixed at top with a hairline separator before account actions and
the blue CTA at its end. Let the product supply the color: show real app windows,
icons and imagery inside dark showcase frames — ideally over a subtle dark silk or
gradient texture — and keep the surrounding page monochrome. Section rhythm: short
heading + one-line subline, then a large mock that can bleed off the card's bottom
edge; leave generous (200px+) vertical space between sections. Text links with a
trailing → arrow in gray replace tertiary buttons.
