Tour panel iterations — prompt (2026-10-29)

Mark, on the v1 panel (screengrab: Split · Dim, Source health · Watch), verbatim:

I feel like we have the bones of something good here. I'd like to create another set of iterations to dial it in. work on new pages to now lose the history / evolution recors. First, this is incredibly confusing, and I don't know that the dark background is going to work across darkmode/lightmode changes. Let's try a few variations:

  • Let's try a version that keeps the light background, but sets all text in cyan (a bit darker for legibility) to highlight as clearly meta text
  • We'll probably need a manual design iteration, but this is information overload. Let's try cutting down to a title (what we're looking at here / why) and a description. We may be coliding with all the UI controls (panel, split, watch, tune, etc). Let's pull those out of here and into the meta nav on the top of the page. Default to the setting in the screengrab

*to not lose..

Then, mid-build:

I also favor a combination of the ring and dim highlighting

  • we probably also need a slow scroll to the highlighted section

don't worry about existing tokens during this design phase

Same session, just before: the sticky band now sits in front of the tour's marks (marks at z 15–18, under the band's 20–40).
