# Animax Design System Components

Animax Design includes 3 major categories of primary components:

* **Base components** are low-level primitives that can be used to build more complex components. They are minimally styled and maximally customizable but require the most work to use, as they are not ready-to-use.
    * A custom styled component can be formed by combining numerous base components together
* **Element components** are self-contained, ready-to-use UI components that work cohesively together. Due to the nature of their creation they do not require much customization, but still need careful consideration to achieve good results when used.
    * Each element component has between 2 and 6 customizable parameters
* **Compound components** are large UI chunks that can essentially be drag and dropped to create a fully functional UI in seconds. They are, however, not customizable, and UI

Additionally, Animax Design also includes 5 categories of supplemental components:

* **Motion components** are building blocks for creating smooth animations and transitions across all platforms 
* **Themes** are a group of offically-supported themes

Design checklist
- Works properly across:
	- All color themes
	- All platform/screen sizes
- Accessible color
- Accessible contrast
- Clear text content
- Includes clearly-defines guidelines for:
	- Element options (size style, orientation, etc.)
	- Element behaviors
	- Dos and dont's
	- Best practices, common mistakes
	- Internationalization
	- Language/writing standards
Altered color simulation
- Deuteranopia simulation
- Tritanopia simulation
- Monochromacy  simulation
False color tests (for determining how well hierarchy and layout is structured even in the absence of color)
Tab index
Keyboard-accessible usage
Non-visual feedback

## Theming

Light theme
Dark theme
High Contrast theme
Tinted themes
- Purple-tinted theme
- Red-tinted theme
- Blue-tinted theme
