# Coolify UI design system
|
||
|
||
This document defines Coolify's UI design system for its Livewire + Blade +
|
||
Alpine + Tailwind v4 frontend. The visual system covers the global shell,
|
||
project and environment pages, application navigation, settings surfaces,
|
||
tables, modals, toasts, terminals, and metrics.
|
||
|
||
Use this file as the source of truth for frontend design work. Update it in the
|
||
same change whenever a new shared visual pattern or component is introduced.
|
||
|
||
Onboarding validation and live server validation checkpoints share
|
||
`<x-checkpoint-item>` (idle / pending / running / success / error) inside a
|
||
compact divided list, not legacy green check SVGs or fixed-width status rows.
|
||
|
||
> **Maintainer rules**
|
||
>
|
||
> - Keep the work frontend-focused unless existing data must be exposed to the
|
||
> view.
|
||
> - Preserve routes, Livewire bindings, permissions, confirmations, and working
|
||
> interactions while changing layout and presentation.
|
||
> - Add or update tests when a UI change affects behavior. Follow the testing
|
||
> requirements in `AGENTS.md`.
|
||
> - Validate Blade with `docker exec coolify php artisan view:cache`, then clear
|
||
> it with `docker exec coolify php artisan view:clear`.
|
||
> - Build frontend assets in the Vite container with
|
||
> `docker exec coolify-vite npm run build`.
|
||
> - Use existing components before adding another styling abstraction.
|

||
|
||
## 1. Visual direction
|
||
|
||
The interface is compact and product-focused:
|
||
|
||
- near-neutral layered surfaces instead of large bordered boxes;
|
||
- 13–14px UI typography and 32px controls;
|
||
- hairline rings instead of heavy borders;
|
||
- full-width data tables for dense collections;
|
||
- outline Reicon glyphs through `<x-reicon>`;
|
||
- the Coolify purple brand accent in light mode;
|
||
- the readable Coolify yellow accent in dark mode;
|
||
- solid active-item fills (neutral black/white opacity), not accent gradients;
|
||
active state is the left accent rail plus a flat selected surface;
|
||
- sentence-case labels and headings;
|
||
- never use the em dash (`—`) in UI copy. Prefer a period, colon, comma, or
|
||
ASCII hyphen (`-`) for empty cells and separators.
|
||
|
||
Avoid oversized titles, generic dashboard cards, strong shadows, thick
|
||
dividers, native browser selects, and isolated colored buttons that do not
|
||
match the current action styles.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 2. Development and cascade notes
|
||
|
||
PHP runs in the `coolify` container. The development app is normally available
|
||
at `http://localhost:8000`, with Vite on port `5173`.
|
||
|
||
`resources/css/app.css` still contains unlayered global element rules for
|
||
headings, labels, and tables. Tailwind utilities are layered, so the
|
||
unlayered rules can win unexpectedly.
|
||
|
||
The settings and dense-surface CSS therefore lives as plain unlayered CSS near
|
||
the end of `resources/css/app.css`, beginning at:
|
||
|
||
```css
|
||
/* Coollabs layer-card settings surfaces */
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Important consequences:
|
||
|
||
- scope settings forms with `.application-settings-form` or
|
||
`.application-settings-workspace`;
|
||
- add shared surface overrides to the unlayered block instead of stacking
|
||
`!important` utilities;
|
||
- listbox panels require ancestors with `overflow: visible`;
|
||
- anchored cards use `scroll-margin-top: 7rem` to clear both fixed navigation
|
||
layers;
|
||
- modal shells reuse the layer-card classes but keep content-width sizing on
|
||
desktop;
|
||
- Alpine code inside quoted Blade attributes must not introduce conflicting
|
||
quote characters.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 3. Tokens and color behavior
|
||
|
||
The surface ladder is defined in `resources/css/app.css`.
|
||
|
||
| Token | Light | Dark | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `--coollabs-canvas` | near white | 10% neutral | page canvas |
|
||
| `--coollabs-elevated` | 98% neutral | 15% neutral | shells and card headers |
|
||
| `--coollabs-base` | white | 17% neutral | nested card bodies |
|
||
| `--coollabs-recessed` | 96% neutral | 20% neutral | inputs and listboxes |
|
||
| `--coollabs-fill` | 92.2% neutral | 26.9% neutral | dividers and passive fills |
|
||
| `--coollabs-line` | translucent dark | 32% neutral | control borders |
|
||
| `--coollabs-hairline` | 93.5% neutral | 26.9% neutral | shell rings |
|
||
| `--coollabs-subtle` | 55.6% neutral | 70.8% neutral | labels and muted titles |
|
||
|
||
Accent behavior is intentionally theme-aware:
|
||
|
||
- **Light mode:** Coolify purple (`coollabs`) for active controls, focus,
|
||
primary actions, and navigation accents.
|
||
- **Dark mode:** Coolify yellow (`warning`) for the same states because the
|
||
original purple did not provide sufficient text and ring contrast.
|
||
|
||
Do not hard-code blue focus rings or leave yellow accent utilities active in
|
||
light mode. Primary action patterns should normally follow:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
bg-coollabs/10 text-coollabs ring-coollabs/25
|
||
dark:bg-warning/15 dark:text-warning dark:ring-warning/25
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The filled top-level action/tab treatment uses the same palette at a restrained
|
||
opacity rather than a fully saturated fill.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 4. Page shells and navigation
|
||
|
||
### Global shell
|
||
|
||
- Main sidebar groups are compact, use outline Reicons, and keep a 32px row
|
||
height.
|
||
- Active sidebar rows are rounded pills (`rounded-md`) with an accent rail on
|
||
the left plus a solid neutral selected fill (`bg-black/5` light,
|
||
`bg-white/6` dark). Hover rows use the same radius. Do not use accent-tinted
|
||
gradients on nav rows; yellow washes look muddy on dark UI.
|
||
- Nested items use a thin guide line with a visible active segment, not a thick
|
||
box border.
|
||
- The update badge sits on the version row and uses a tiny fully rounded
|
||
primary-action pill.
|
||
|
||
### Layer-2 navigation
|
||
|
||
Application and server pages use the same fixed second navigation layer
|
||
directly below the global topbar. Do not keep a large in-flow resource heading
|
||
or legacy `.navbar-main` tabs on one resource type while using the compact
|
||
layer-2 bar on another. Active tabs are a light brand fill:
|
||
|
||
- purple tint in light mode;
|
||
- yellow tint in dark mode;
|
||
- no fully saturated tab background.
|
||
|
||
Keep route-derived active state in Blade/Livewire. Do not rely only on Alpine
|
||
state because it can disappear after polling or a Livewire morph.
|
||
|
||
The global topbar owns the current resource identity and its compact status
|
||
badges. Layer 2 owns route tabs, resource links, and contextual action buttons
|
||
only. If a resource is missing from `x-top-breadcrumb`, extend the global
|
||
topbar instead of repeating its name or status summary in layer 2. Mobile
|
||
resource navigation may repeat this context because the desktop global topbar
|
||
is hidden there.
|
||
|
||
Desktop resource lifecycle actions dock in `#resource-action-hud-slot` and
|
||
use `<x-resource-heading-overflow>`. Show primary actions (Deploy, Redeploy,
|
||
Restart, Stop) as sibling header buttons. Collapse that group into an Actions
|
||
dropdown only when the remaining top-bar width cannot fit them (breadcrumb
|
||
keeps a 200px floor). Infrequent operations live in a separate Advanced
|
||
dropdown with the grid icon: force restart / force deploy / force cleanup
|
||
on services, and Traefik dashboard / refresh proxy status on servers. Place
|
||
Advanced immediately after Links, or first in the action cluster when there
|
||
is no Links control. Application Deploy is a dropdown with Deploy and
|
||
Deploy (without cache). A running service Restart control is a dropdown with
|
||
Restart current version and Pull latest and restart. Mobile
|
||
headings keep a full-width Actions dropdown because the desktop HUD is hidden
|
||
below `xl`. Do not hide primary actions behind a menu on a wide desktop. Links
|
||
stay a separate dropdown because the URL list is unbounded.
|
||
|
||
Only add layer-2 tabs when they represent real sibling routes inside one
|
||
context. Never repeat main-sidebar destinations such as Dashboard, Projects,
|
||
Terminal, Servers, Sources, Destinations, or Storage as a second tab row. A
|
||
single collection page does not need a tab just to fill the bar; keep its
|
||
primary action in the page header instead. When tabs are useful, their left edge
|
||
uses the same compact `pl-2` alignment as application navigation rather than
|
||
the content container's wide horizontal padding.
|
||
|
||
A layer-2 tab must be active on the page that renders it. A bar whose only tab
|
||
points at a different route reads as broken navigation, so project and
|
||
environment pages (`project.show`, `project.edit`, `project.environment.edit`,
|
||
`project.clone-me`) carry a plain page header with a 24px title and a 13px
|
||
muted summary instead of a bar. The environment identity and the way back to
|
||
its resources already live in `x-top-breadcrumb`; do not restate them in a
|
||
sub-header.
|
||
|
||
The dashboard is a compact overview, not a metrics wall. Use two full-width
|
||
sections that follow the projects-page grid pattern: projects first, then
|
||
servers. Keep one `New` action in the page header and let its modal choose the
|
||
resource type. Place active deployments above the resource grids as a compact,
|
||
live-updating table rather than a metric card. Communicate server health with
|
||
the shared status badge.
|
||
|
||
### Top-level dashboard destinations
|
||
|
||
Every page opened directly from the main sidebar uses the same compact content
|
||
shell:
|
||
|
||
- 24px page title and a 13px muted summary;
|
||
- the primary action at the top right using the restrained brand fill;
|
||
- no legacy `coolbox`, `.navbar-main`, or oversized subtitle block;
|
||
- four-column compact cards for small browsable collections;
|
||
- a dense table instead of cards when the collection is expected to grow;
|
||
- `x-empty` anatomy for empty states;
|
||
- `x-status-badge` for state and `x-reicon` for all interface icons.
|
||
|
||
Collection cards are `min-h-28` or `min-h-32`, use a 32px icon tile, and keep
|
||
secondary metadata at 11px. They must not grow into dashboard-sized summary
|
||
cards. Sources, destinations, S3 storage, private keys, and shared-variable
|
||
scopes use this pattern.
|
||
|
||
Top-level settings families such as Team, Notifications, Keys & Tokens, and
|
||
instance Settings use a compact header followed by a small route-derived tab
|
||
strip. The active tab uses the same purple-light/yellow-dark tint as resource
|
||
tabs. Do not nest `<button>` elements inside tab links.
|
||
|
||
### Route-family consistency
|
||
|
||
Treat every route family as one cohesive experience rather than styling only
|
||
its index or most visible route:
|
||
|
||
- index, create, detail, settings, logs, metrics, backup, execution, and danger
|
||
routes must share the same navigation hierarchy and surface language;
|
||
- main-sidebar collection routes use the global shell without duplicating those
|
||
destinations in a layer-2 tab row;
|
||
- resource detail families use resource identity and status in the global
|
||
topbar, route tabs and actions in layer 2, and the grouped settings sidebar
|
||
only for the third level;
|
||
- create and edit routes stay inside the same layer-2 family instead of
|
||
falling back to an isolated legacy page;
|
||
- reusable partials, empty states, confirmation flows, and row editors must be
|
||
updated with the page that exposes them;
|
||
- audit the whole family for native selects, legacy heading blocks, old Save
|
||
buttons, old status chips, and `coolbox`/`navbar-main`/`sub-menu-wrapper`
|
||
to keep the family consistent.
|
||
|
||
Do not leave a sibling route using old tabs, a large in-flow title, a browser
|
||
select, or a different modal anatomy.
|
||
|
||
The New Resource page keeps its filter controls in the top layer card, then
|
||
renders Applications, Databases, and Services as separate layer-card sections.
|
||
Do not leave category headings and resource grids floating as uncontained
|
||
content below the filter card.
|
||
|
||
### Settings workspace
|
||
|
||
Application and server configuration pages use the same 210px grouped,
|
||
icon-led sidebar and a full-width content column. The workspace is capped at
|
||
1180px, the sidebar becomes sticky at `xl`, and the sidebar label and first
|
||
content card start on the same visual line. Do not use the legacy
|
||
`sub-menu-wrapper`, native mobile page selects, or an in-flow row of top-level
|
||
tabs. Only show nested section anchors when a page has at least four useful
|
||
sections.
|
||
|
||
The shared workspace grid is:
|
||
|
||
```blade
|
||
<div
|
||
class="application-settings-workspace mt-8 grid min-w-0 gap-8
|
||
xl:mt-0 xl:grid-cols-[210px_minmax(0,1fr)] xl:gap-10">
|
||
<aside class="application-settings-navigation min-w-0 xl:sticky xl:top-26 xl:self-start">
|
||
...
|
||
</aside>
|
||
<div class="min-w-0 xl:mt-3">
|
||
...
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Instance Settings constrains both `x-settings.navbar` and the workspace to the
|
||
same `max-w-[1180px]` shell.
|
||
|
||
**Page titles (global):** family H1s (`x-dashboard.navbar` with
|
||
`titleOnDesktop="false"`, the default) hide at **lg+**, the same breakpoint as
|
||
the desktop shell (main sidebar + fixed layer-2 tabs). Below `lg` the mobile
|
||
topbar is used and the page title stays visible. Collection indexes (Servers,
|
||
Projects, …) always keep their H1; stack title above actions on narrow widths
|
||
so they never overlap. Resource in-flow names only render below `md` (when the
|
||
fixed resource tab bar is hidden). Fixed layer-2 spacers must be `lg:h-12` to
|
||
match the bar height. Do not put the H1 beside the settings sidebar.
|
||
|
||
Standard content stack:
|
||
|
||
```blade
|
||
<div class="application-settings-workspace flex flex-col gap-6">
|
||
<x-application.settings-section ... />
|
||
<x-application.settings-section ... />
|
||
</div>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The current cross-page section gap is `gap-6`. Do not introduce extra top
|
||
padding on an individual page unless its toolbar is intentionally separated
|
||
from the first card.
|
||
|
||
Use a flex or grid stack with `gap-6`; do not use `space-y-*` between layer
|
||
cards. The layer-card root intentionally resets its own margin, so margin-based
|
||
spacing utilities can silently collapse.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 5. Layer cards
|
||
|
||
Use `resources/views/components/application/settings-section.blade.php`.
|
||
Older manual shells may use `.application-settings-section-header` and
|
||
`.application-settings-section-body`; both must retain the same padded,
|
||
action-aligned anatomy as the component. Use the component for new work and
|
||
replace a manual shell when modifying it instead of creating another variant.
|
||
|
||
```blade
|
||
<x-application.settings-section
|
||
id="public-access-section"
|
||
title="Public access"
|
||
helper="How this section affects the resource.">
|
||
<x-slot:actions>
|
||
<x-forms.button>Action</x-forms.button>
|
||
</x-slot:actions>
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
</x-application.settings-section>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Anatomy:
|
||
|
||
- 8px shell radius;
|
||
- elevated header strip;
|
||
- no divider below the header;
|
||
- nested base-color body with its own fill ring;
|
||
- 16px body padding;
|
||
- optional `flush` mode for full-bleed tables;
|
||
- card-level actions belong in the header slot.
|
||
|
||
Header actions use an 8px top/right inset while the title keeps its 16px left
|
||
inset. Do not leave a larger empty strip between the final action and the
|
||
card's top-right corner.
|
||
|
||
Do not split one collection into a summary card followed by a table or log
|
||
card. Keep its status/action in the header, its view switcher or toolbar at the
|
||
top of a flush body, and its data in that same layer card. Repeated file
|
||
editors are the opposite case: each file gets its own titled layer card so its
|
||
content and actions remain clearly associated.
|
||
|
||
### Nested radii
|
||
|
||
Concentric boxes must follow:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
outer radius = inner radius + visible inset
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
|
||
- a 6px tab or listbox option inside 4px padding uses a 10px outer well;
|
||
- an 8px button inside the unsaved pill's 8px padding uses a 16px outer pill.
|
||
|
||
Do not give visibly inset parent and child boxes the same radius. Flush or
|
||
edge-to-edge children are exempt because there is no visible inset to add.
|
||
|
||
Use an empty state when the section has no usable controls:
|
||
|
||
```blade
|
||
<x-empty size="sm" title="Nothing here" description="Explain what enables it.">
|
||
<x-slot:icon>
|
||
<x-reicon name="layers" class="size-8" />
|
||
</x-slot:icon>
|
||
</x-empty>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Controls
|
||
|
||
All normal controls are 32px high with an 8px radius.
|
||
|
||
### Field grids
|
||
|
||
The grid must match the controls visible in the current state:
|
||
|
||
- two visible peer controls use two columns, not a three-column grid with an
|
||
empty track;
|
||
- three visible peer controls may use three columns when their content stays
|
||
readable;
|
||
- conditional fields remain in the same grid when they are part of that field
|
||
group, so a URL or text input does not become wider than its peer column;
|
||
- collapse to one column at smaller breakpoints.
|
||
|
||
Do not pick a column count from the maximum possible state if the normal state
|
||
shows fewer controls.
|
||
|
||
### Inputs
|
||
|
||
Use `x-forms.input` and `x-forms.textarea`. Fields need visible vertical spacing
|
||
between the label and control. Password visibility uses the outline Reicon
|
||
`eye`/`eye-off` treatment from the shared input component.
|
||
|
||
### Dropdowns
|
||
|
||
Do not use native `<select>` on application routes, including mobile fallbacks.
|
||
Use:
|
||
|
||
```blade
|
||
<x-forms.listbox id="property" label="Setting" :options="[
|
||
['value' => true, 'label' => 'Enabled'],
|
||
['value' => false, 'label' => 'Disabled'],
|
||
]" onChange="instantSave" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Boolean checkboxes should normally become descriptive two-option listboxes.
|
||
Use `.live` behavior only when the selection needs an immediate server
|
||
rerender.
|
||
|
||
Keep checkboxes for compact permission matrices and multi-select lists. Those
|
||
controls must use the shared `x-forms.checkbox` anatomy: an 18px rounded custom
|
||
box, purple checked fill in light mode, yellow checked fill in dark mode, and a
|
||
high-contrast check mark. Never expose the browser or Tailwind Forms default
|
||
checkbox on application pages.
|
||
|
||
The popup panel uses a 10px radius around 6px options with a 4px inset. Keep
|
||
the option content left-aligned and size the panel to its content or trigger;
|
||
do not create an unnecessarily wide menu.
|
||
|
||
Toolbar filter and sort buttons keep static labels (`Filter`, `Sort`). The
|
||
selected option is indicated inside the menu, not repeated on the trigger.
|
||
|
||
#### Livewire dropdown state synchronization
|
||
|
||
Instant-save listboxes must not flash back to an older value while Livewire is
|
||
saving or morphing the DOM. Treat the Alpine selection as the current visual
|
||
state until its request finishes:
|
||
|
||
- await the Livewire change handler and prevent overlapping selections while
|
||
it is running;
|
||
- when a client-managed listbox can be rerendered by an unrelated or stale
|
||
Livewire response, use the listbox's `preserveValue` option so the morph does
|
||
not replace its newer Alpine value;
|
||
- scope `preserveValue` to controls whose value is owned by that interaction;
|
||
do not use it when external server events must replace the displayed value;
|
||
- after saving through a related model, refresh the parent component's loaded
|
||
relationship before rendering the response. A database write alone does not
|
||
update an already-loaded Eloquent collection;
|
||
- use stable `wire:key` values for rows containing listboxes. Do not include the
|
||
selected value in the key, because recreating the Alpine component causes a
|
||
visible reset;
|
||
- remember that a portalled options panel is teleported outside its visual
|
||
wrapper. Guard selection in the Alpine handler itself rather than relying
|
||
only on `pointer-events` or a disabled wrapper.
|
||
|
||
The failure mode to avoid is: selection B is shown optimistically, selection A
|
||
is chosen next, the response for B morphs the listbox back to B, then the later
|
||
response finally shows A. The control should remain on the newest accepted
|
||
selection throughout the save sequence.
|
||
|
||
#### Multi-select filter dropdowns
|
||
|
||
Toolbar filters that can combine criteria use one multi-select listbox rather
|
||
than separate dropdowns or a single selected value. Follow the deployment
|
||
history filter in
|
||
`resources/views/livewire/project/application/deployment/index.blade.php`:
|
||
|
||
- set `aria-multiselectable="true"` on the listbox;
|
||
- group related options under compact uppercase labels;
|
||
- keep the dropdown open while options are toggled;
|
||
- use the shared 16px custom checkbox treatment: purple checked fill in light
|
||
mode, yellow checked fill in dark mode, and a high-contrast check mark;
|
||
- show the number of active selections in a small count pill on the static
|
||
`Filter` trigger;
|
||
- combine selections within one group with OR logic and combine different
|
||
groups with AND logic;
|
||
- constrain only the options area with `max-h-80 overflow-y-auto`;
|
||
- place a persistent `Reset filters` action in a separate footer below the
|
||
scrollable options, divided by a top border;
|
||
- disable the reset action when no filter is active, and close the dropdown
|
||
after resetting.
|
||
|
||
Do not represent the empty state as a selectable `All` option. The footer reset
|
||
action is the single way to return the multi-select to its unfiltered state.
|
||
|
||
### Standard table controls
|
||
|
||
Dense tables use the shared `x-table.*` components so search, filters, sorting,
|
||
and backend loading states remain visually and behaviorally consistent:
|
||
|
||
- `<x-table.toolbar>` owns the responsive search-left/actions-right layout;
|
||
- `<x-table.search>` owns the search icon, optional loading indicator, clear
|
||
action, sizing, and input anatomy;
|
||
- `<x-table.filter>` owns the static Filter trigger, active-count pill,
|
||
multi-select panel, scrollable options area, and Reset filters footer;
|
||
- `<x-table.sort>` owns the static Sort trigger and single-select panel;
|
||
- `<x-table.loading>` overlays only the changing table data for backend search,
|
||
filter, sort, and pagination requests.
|
||
|
||
Tables continue to own their filter options, sort choices, headers, rows,
|
||
queries, permissions, and empty states. Backend-filtered or paginated tables
|
||
must use `x-table.loading`; frontend-only Alpine tables reuse the same toolbar
|
||
and control anatomy but do not show an artificial loading state.
|
||
|
||
### Buttons
|
||
|
||
- neutral actions use the shared `.button`;
|
||
- primary actions use the theme-aware purple/yellow tint;
|
||
- destructive actions use the existing error treatment;
|
||
- use outline Reicons where a matching glyph exists;
|
||
- avoid raw browser-default buttons and old dark-mode purple fills.
|
||
|
||
### Unsaved changes
|
||
|
||
`resources/views/components/unsaved-bar.blade.php` is a compact floating
|
||
bottom-center pill. It contains:
|
||
|
||
- “You have changes that haven't been saved yet.”
|
||
- a subtle Reset action;
|
||
- a theme-aware Save changes button matching the tab accent.
|
||
|
||
On small viewports the pill is inset (`inset-x-3`) and stacks: full label on
|
||
the first line, Reset / Save on the second (right-aligned). From `sm` up it
|
||
returns to the centered single-row nowrap pill.
|
||
|
||
Do not restore the old full-width footer.
|
||
|
||
Deferred fields in one Livewire component use one floating unsaved bar and one
|
||
submit action. Do not add a separate “Save configuration” button to every
|
||
card. Selectors that are safe to persist independently should use the existing
|
||
instant-save pattern.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 7. Dense tables
|
||
|
||
Collections with many rows should use the Cloudflare-inspired table pattern:
|
||
|
||
- toolbar above the table;
|
||
- search on the left;
|
||
- filters, sort, view toggles, and Add on the right;
|
||
- 40px header row and roughly 48px data rows;
|
||
- subtle row hover;
|
||
- plain text or the shared status badge rather than large colored chips;
|
||
- compact action at the far right;
|
||
- no separate layer card for each item.
|
||
|
||
Do not add a summary card above a table when it only repeats the row count,
|
||
current page, or refresh interval. Keep counts and pagination in the footer.
|
||
Background polling stays silent unless its state is actionable; do not add a
|
||
“Live updates” badge just to explain that a table refreshes. Filters only
|
||
render meaningful values; use the shared listbox instead of a number input or
|
||
browser-native control.
|
||
|
||
The footer is always inside the table shell:
|
||
|
||
- `Showing X–Y of Z` on the left;
|
||
- first, previous, current page, next, and last controls on the right.
|
||
|
||
Hide the entire pagination footer when there is only one page (`totalPages > 1`).
|
||
A lone “1–2 of 2” bar with disabled controls adds noise and is unnecessary.
|
||
|
||
Use `x-status-badge` for resource and execution state. It is a small neutral
|
||
pill with a semantic dot, not a full colored rectangle.
|
||
|
||
Relevant classes:
|
||
|
||
- `.data-table`
|
||
- `.data-table-header`
|
||
- `.data-table-row`
|
||
- `.table-badge`
|
||
|
||
Create a page-specific grid class when columns differ. Add responsive rules
|
||
that hide secondary columns before allowing horizontal overflow.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 8. Modals, confirmations, and toasts
|
||
|
||
### Modals
|
||
|
||
`x-modal-input` and confirmation dialogs reuse the layer-card shell:
|
||
|
||
- compact elevated header;
|
||
- nested base-color body;
|
||
- content-width desktop sizing;
|
||
- shared 32px controls;
|
||
- no redundant description below a self-explanatory title;
|
||
- custom listboxes instead of native browser selects;
|
||
- listbox and dropdown panels must render above the modal body and escape its
|
||
scroll container. Never clip a panel at the modal boundary or make users
|
||
scroll the modal to see its options;
|
||
- when there is not enough viewport space below the trigger, open the panel
|
||
above it while keeping the panel visually on top of the modal;
|
||
- right-aligned footer actions below a divider;
|
||
- compact action buttons, never a submit button stretched by a column layout.
|
||
|
||
Edit modals should use the same field layout and option set as their matching
|
||
create modal.
|
||
|
||
### Command palette
|
||
|
||
The global search command palette (`livewire:global-search`) is a compact
|
||
top-anchored overlay:
|
||
|
||
- elevated shell with hairline ring and modal shadow (not a heavy floating card);
|
||
- recessed-neutral header strip with outline search glyph and 14px input;
|
||
- compact OS-aware mod+K (`⌘K` on macOS, `Ctrl+K` on Windows/Linux) / `/` / `ESC` kbd chips matching the sidebar search trigger;
|
||
- nested base-color results body with group labels in sentence case;
|
||
- dense result rows as inset 6px-radius pills (listbox anatomy), not full-bleed
|
||
bars with global focus rings;
|
||
- hover uses neutral fill; keyboard focus uses a soft accent wash plus a 2px
|
||
left rail — never the global `ring-2` / ring-offset treatment;
|
||
- create rows use a neutral plus tile that only picks up the accent when the
|
||
row is focused;
|
||
- type pills and quickcommand chips stay recessed; they tint with the accent
|
||
only on the focused row;
|
||
- neutral thin scrollbar inside the results body (not brand-colored);
|
||
- create-resource modals opened from the palette reuse the standard
|
||
`application-settings-section` layer-card shell.
|
||
|
||
Preserve keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Enter via focused links, Escape to
|
||
clear then close), `/` and mod+K (⌘K / Ctrl+K by OS) open shortcuts, and the multi-step
|
||
server → destination → project → environment create flow.
|
||
|
||
### Toasts
|
||
|
||
`resources/views/components/toast.blade.php` provides the global
|
||
`window.toast(message, options)` API and Livewire event handling.
|
||
|
||
Current toast behavior:
|
||
|
||
- compact layered card, maximum width 26rem;
|
||
- Reicon status tile for success, info, warning, danger, or default;
|
||
- title plus optional description;
|
||
- dismiss and copy-details actions;
|
||
- up to four stacked notifications;
|
||
- four-second dismissal, paused while hovered;
|
||
- support for all six screen positions and sanitized custom HTML.
|
||
|
||
Do not bring back the old oversized dark rectangle.

## 9. Terminals, logs, and metrics
|
||
|
||
### Terminals
|
||
|
||
Application and server browser terminals use the same browser-oriented console
|
||
shell, theme picker, compact header controls, and outline `browser-terminal`
|
||
Reicon. Hide a container switcher when only one container exists.
|
||
|
||
The themed console shell belongs to an open session. Before a target is
|
||
selected, the global Terminal page stays a normal top-level destination: a
|
||
full-width layer card titled `Start a terminal session`, its filter input in
|
||
the card header actions, and grouped `Servers` / `Containers` rows reusing the
|
||
command-palette row classes. Do not render an empty full-height console canvas
|
||
just to host the target picker, and do not offer the console theme selector
|
||
before a session owns that canvas. Rows show the target name, a muted server
|
||
column that only appears when the team has more than one server, and the shared
|
||
chevron. Group headers stick to the top of the scrolling list and carry a count.
|
||
|
||
### Logs
|
||
|
||
Runtime and deployment logs should feel like a clean terminal surface:
|
||
|
||
- keep a single log stream inside one layer card instead of adding an
|
||
introductory card above it;
|
||
- one compact toolbar;
|
||
- a recessed monospace log viewport;
|
||
- search and line-count controls aligned with icon actions;
|
||
- clear live/follow state;
|
||
- fullscreen support without changing the control language;
|
||
- custom listbox-style menus instead of browser dropdowns.
|
||
|
||
### Metrics
|
||
|
||
Metrics pages use separate layer cards for range selection, CPU, and memory.
|
||
Charts follow the application metrics implementation:
|
||
|
||
- 240px area chart;
|
||
- smooth 2px stroke and restrained gradient fill;
|
||
- dashed neutral grid;
|
||
- no ApexCharts toolbar;
|
||
- tooltip positioned at the hovered point;
|
||
- UTC on both axes and tooltip;
|
||
- 20% headroom above observed values;
|
||
- downsample long time ranges before rendering.
|
||
|
||
Only add a metric if Sentinel exposes historical data for it. Current Sentinel
|
||
history endpoints store CPU and memory. Root filesystem usage is included in
|
||
the periodic push payload for threshold notifications, but it is not stored as
|
||
a historical Sentinel metric and has no history endpoint, so it cannot power a
|
||
disk-usage graph yet.

## 10. Current reference surfaces
|
||
|
||
Use these as implementation references:
|
||
|
||
| Surface | Reference |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Dashboard overview | `resources/views/livewire/dashboard.blade.php` |
|
||
| Top-level collection cards | `resources/views/livewire/project/index.blade.php`, `resources/views/source/all.blade.php` |
|
||
| Top-level family tabs | `resources/views/components/team/navbar.blade.php`, `resources/views/components/notification/navbar.blade.php` |
|
||
| General settings and form anatomy | `resources/views/livewire/project/application/general.blade.php` |
|
||
| Advanced settings | `resources/views/livewire/project/application/advanced.blade.php` |
|
||
| Fixed layer-2 resource navigation | `resources/views/livewire/project/application/heading.blade.php`, `resources/views/livewire/server/navbar.blade.php` |
|
||
| Grouped settings sidebar | `resources/views/livewire/project/application/configuration.blade.php`, `resources/views/components/server/sidebar.blade.php` |
|
||
| Dense environment table and footer | `resources/views/livewire/project/shared/environment-variable/all.blade.php` |
|
||
| Standard table toolbar controls | `resources/views/components/table/*` |
|
||
| Application metrics charts | `resources/views/livewire/project/shared/metrics.blade.php` |
|
||
| Browser terminal workspace | `resources/views/livewire/terminal/index.blade.php` |
|
||
| Layer card | `resources/views/components/application/settings-section.blade.php` |
|
||
| Custom dropdown | `resources/views/components/forms/listbox.blade.php` |
|
||
| Empty state | `resources/views/components/empty.blade.php` |
|
||
| Status pill | `resources/views/components/status-badge.blade.php` |
|
||
| Floating save pill | `resources/views/components/unsaved-bar.blade.php` |
|
||
| Global toast | `resources/views/components/toast.blade.php` |
|
||
| Command palette / global search | `resources/views/livewire/global-search.blade.php` |
|
||
| Outline icons | `resources/views/components/reicon.blade.php` |
|
||
| Shared styling | `resources/css/app.css`, `resources/css/utilities.css` |
|
||
| HTTP error pages | `resources/views/components/error-page.blade.php`, `resources/views/errors/*` |
|
||
|
||
HTTP error pages (400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 419, 429, 500, 503) use the shared
|
||
`<x-error-page>` component on the public auth-style canvas: theme-aware status
|
||
code, compact title and muted description, neutral `.button` actions, and an
|
||
`auth-text-link`-style Contact support link. Keep copy sentence-case and avoid
|
||
oversized 200px status numbers.

||
## 11. UI implementation checklist
|
||
|
||
1. Inventory every route and reusable partial in the family before editing.
|
||
2. Read the current Blade and Livewire class before changing presentation.
|
||
3. Preserve every existing action, authorization check, loading state, and
|
||
confirmation.
|
||
4. Add the correct dual navigation and scoped workspace/form class.
|
||
5. Convert meaningful groups to layer cards and use `gap-6`.
|
||
6. Make the responsive column count match the controls visible in every state.
|
||
7. Replace native selects and checkbox-style configuration with listboxes.
|
||
8. Use one save model per component: instant-save or one floating dirty bar.
|
||
9. Check nested radii using `outer = inner + inset`.
|
||
10. Keep modal descriptions purposeful and footer actions compact/right-aligned.
|
||
11. Use tables for dense collections and cards for forms or summaries.
|
||
12. Use `x-status-badge`, `x-empty`, and `x-reicon`.
|
||
13. Confirm light and dark accent behavior.
|
||
14. Check fixed-nav anchor offsets and responsive stacking.
|
||
15. Sweep every sibling route for legacy controls and shells.
|
||
16. Run `git diff --check`.
|
||
17. Compile Blade views in the `coolify` container.
|
||
18. Build assets in `coolify-vite`.
|
||
19. Hard-refresh and inspect the family routes in both themes.
