Dopamine Glow

Every style renders this same screen, so the only thing changing between two of them is the style. The component above is the file below, running.

Design this interface in the Dopamine Glow style. Color as a mood lift: one hot candy accent that halos — the shadow is a colored glow, never grey — on chunky pill shapes with heavy friendly type. The palette says serotonin; the geometry says toy.

Build every surface the Glow way: Elements emit rather than reflect: a colored bloom instead of a shadow, and a lit hairline instead of a border.

Use exactly these values: background #fffdf8, surfaces #ffffff, text #262033, secondary text #655a75, accent #d61f7f with #ffffff on it; corner radius 16/22/32px; no borders and no separators at all; a colored glow instead of a shadow; Trebuchet MS for body at 15px, line height 1.45; 4px spacing grid, regular spacing; labels in uppercase with wide letter spacing.

Never: grey or black shadows; muted desaturated tints; thin light typefaces; sharp corners; beige.

Dark mode uses background #1a1424, surfaces #241b31, text #f6effc, accent #ff5aa8 — the same style, not an inverted one.

The numbers in this prompt are printed from the tokens below, so it cannot drift from what the specimen renders.

Measured contrast — body 15.45:1 light, 15.97:1 dark; secondary text 6.31:1 and 7.7:1. Every pair clears WCAG AA in both themes, checked on each build.

 * Vibary · Dopamine Glow
 *
 * One hot candy accent that halos — the shadow is a colored glow, never grey — on chunky pill shapes.
 *
 * One complete product screen, rendered from the token object below —
 * the same screen every other Vibary specimen renders, so the style
 * is the only variable. Self-contained: React only, no CSS file, no
 * assets, no chart library.
 *
 * `theme` defaults to following the system setting; pass "light" or
