## Philosophy

* **No delay for visual feedback.** Controls should not fade. That´s unnecessary.
* **Not too glossy, not to flat.** The controls should combine the best of both worlds: Stylish, but simple
* **A few colors, a lot experience.** The whole theme is based on just a few colors, but they are used and reused in a wise manner.
