prepare a thorough theme system for the project based on following design guidelines

<design_principles>

## Starting from Scratch
* Start with a feature, not a layout.
* Detail comes later; don't get hung up on low-level decisions initially. Design in grayscale first to focus on spacing, contrast, and size.
* Don’t design too much upfront; work in short cycles, building a simple version first. Be a pessimist and don't imply functionality you aren't ready to build.
* Choose a personality for your design through font choice (serif for elegant/classic, rounded sans serif for playful, neutral sans serif for plain), color (blue for safe, gold for expensive/sophisticated, pink for fun), border radius (small for neutral, large for playful, none for serious/formal), and language (formal vs. casual tone). Stay consistent with border radius.
* Limit your choices by defining systems in advance for values instead of picking arbitrarily. This applies to almost any minor design decision. Designing with a constrained set makes decision-making easier.

## Hierarchy is Everything
* Not all elements are equal; visual hierarchy (how important elements appear relative to one another) is key to making something feel "designed."
* Size isn’t everything; use font weight (normal 400/500, heavier 600/700) or color (dark for primary, grey for secondary, lighter grey for tertiary) to communicate importance without making text too large or too small. Avoid font weights under 400 for UI work.
* Don’t use grey text on colored backgrounds; reduced contrast is the goal. Use a hand-picked color based on the background with adjusted saturation and lightness, not reduced opacity white, which looks dull.
* Emphasize by de-emphasizing competing elements.
* Labels are a last resort when presenting data. Often the format or context is enough (e.g., email format, job title below a name). When needed, combine labels and values (e.g., "12 left in stock" instead of "In stock: 12") or treat labels as supporting content with less emphasis (smaller, lower contrast, lighter font weight). Emphasize the label if the user is scanning for it (e.g., technical specifications), but don't de-emphasize the data too much.
* Separate visual hierarchy from document hierarchy; don't let semantic HTML tags like h1 dictate styling. Section titles often function as labels and should be smaller.
* Balance weight and contrast, especially with icons (lower contrast for heavier icons) and borders (increase weight to emphasize low-contrast borders).
* Semantics are secondary when designing actions; prioritize hierarchy (primary: obvious, high contrast; secondary: clear but not prominent; tertiary: discoverable but unobtrusive, styled like links). Destructive actions don't need to be big and red unless they are the primary action in a confirmation step.

## Layout and Spacing
* Start with too much white space and remove it until happy. Dense UIs have their place but should be a deliberate decision.
* Establish a spacing and sizing system using a constrained set of values defined in advance. A linear scale won't work because the relative difference between pixel values changes at different scales. A practical approach is to start with a base value like 16px and build a scale using factors and multiples, with smaller jumps at the low end and larger jumps at the high end. This speeds up workflow and creates consistency.
* You don’t have to fill the whole screen; use only the space needed for content. This applies to individual sections too. Shrink the canvas to design smaller interfaces. Consider designing mobile first. Think in columns to make better use of wide screens for narrower content.
* Grids are overrated if treated like a religion. Not all elements should be fluid; fixed widths are often better for things like sidebars. Don't shrink elements until necessary; use `max-width`.
* Relative sizing doesn’t scale consistently. Relationships between element sizes can change at different screen sizes. Elements that are large on large screens need to shrink faster. This also applies to properties within a single component like button padding.
* Avoid ambiguous spacing. When using spacing to group elements, ensure there is more space around the group than within it.

## Designing Text
* Establish a type scale with a constrained set of font sizes (avoid using every pixel value). Modular scales (using ratios) can work but often result in fractional values and too few sizes for UI design. A hand-crafted scale with values like 12px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 36px, 48px, 60px, 72px works well for most projects and aligns with spacing/sizing. Avoid em units for defining type scale sizes because computed sizes of nested elements might not be in the scale. Stick to px or rem units.
* Use good fonts. For UI, a neutral sans-serif is safest (system font stack is a good option). Typefaces with 5+ weights tend to be crafted with more care. Optimize for legibility; avoid condensed typefaces with short x-heights for main UI text. Popular fonts are usually good. Learn by inspecting fonts on your favorite sites.
* Keep your line length in check (45-75 characters per line) for readability. Use em units for width (20-35em is a good range). Limit paragraph width even in wider content areas.
* Align mixed font sizes by their baseline for a cleaner look, rather than centering.
* Line-height is proportional to line length (taller for longer lines) and inversely proportional to font size (taller for small text, shorter for large text, can be 1 for large headlines).
* Not every link needs a color. In interfaces with many links, use subtle emphasis like heavier font weight or darker color. For ancillary links, add underline/color only on hover.
* Align with readability in mind. Left-align most text (for LTR languages). Center short blocks/headlines but not long text. Right-align numbers in tables. Hyphenate justified text to avoid awkward gaps.
* Use letter-spacing effectively. Generally, leave it alone. Consider tightening headlines that use fonts with wide default spacing. Increase letter-spacing for all-caps text to improve legibility.

## Working with Color
* Ditch hex for HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) for more intuitive color manipulation. Hue is position on the color wheel (0=red, 120=green, 240=blue). Saturation is vividness (0%=grey, 100%=intense). Lightness is proximity to black (0%) or white (100%), with 50% being pure color. Don't confuse HSL lightness with HSB brightness. Browsers understand HSL.
* You need more colors than you think. A good palette has greys (8-10 shades, starting with a dark grey near black, incrementing to white), primary color(s) (5-10 shades, including ultra-light for backgrounds and darker for text), and accent colors (multiple shades for highlighting features, communicating semantic states like success/warning/danger, or categorizing elements).
* Define your shades up front instead of generating them on the fly to avoid inconsistency. Choose a base color (e.g., good button background), darkest shade (for text), and lightest shade (for tinted backgrounds), then fill in the gaps (aim for 9 shades, e.g., 100-900 scale). Use a similar process for greys, starting with darkest text and lightest off-white background. Trust your eyes over math; tweak shades as needed when using them.
* Don’t let lightness kill your saturation. As lightness approaches 0% or 100%, saturation's impact weakens. Increase saturation as lightness moves away from 50% to prevent lighter/darker shades from looking washed out.
* Use perceived brightness to your advantage. Different hues have inherent perceived brightness (yellow is brighter than blue at the same HSL lightness). Calculate perceived brightness from RGB. Rotate hue towards brighter hues (60°, 180°, 300°) to make a color lighter without losing intensity, or towards darker hues (0°, 120°, 240°) to make it darker. This is useful for creating palettes for light colors like yellow. Combine with lightness adjustments. Don't rotate hue more than 20-30°.
* Greys don’t have to be grey (0% saturation). Saturate greys with blue for a cool feel or yellow/orange for a warm feel. Increase saturation for lighter/darker shades to maintain consistent temperature.
* Accessible doesn’t have to mean ugly. Meet WCAG contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Flip the contrast (dark text on light background) instead of using light text on dark colored backgrounds that grab too much attention. For colored text on colored backgrounds, rotate the hue towards a brighter color (cyan, magenta, yellow) to increase contrast without getting too close to white.
* Don’t rely on color alone; support information with other cues like icons or contrast variations for colorblind users.

## Creating Depth
* Emulate a light source (from above) by making top edges lighter and bottom edges darker for raised elements, and the opposite for inset elements. Use top borders or inset box shadows for raised elements, and bottom borders or inset shadows for inset elements. Add small dark box shadows below raised elements to simulate blocked light.
* Use shadows to convey elevation. Small shadows with tight blur for slightly raised elements, larger shadows with more blur for elements further off the page. Establish an elevation system with a fixed set of shadows (around five). Combine shadows with interaction (e.g., larger shadow on hover/drag, smaller on click) to provide visual cues.
* Shadows can have two parts: a larger, softer shadow for the direct light source and a tighter, darker shadow for ambient occlusion. The ambient occlusion shadow should be more subtle at higher elevations.
* Even flat designs can have depth using color (lighter elements feel closer) and solid, vertically offset shadows.
* Overlap elements to create layers. Offset cards across background transitions or make elements taller than their parents. Overlap smaller components. Use an "invisible border" matching the background color for overlapping images to prevent clashing.

## Working with Images
* Use good photos (hire a professional or use high-quality stock). Don't rely on using smartphone photos later.
* Text needs consistent contrast against background images. Add a semi-transparent overlay (black for light text, white for dark text), lower the image contrast (adjust brightness to compensate), colorize the image (lower contrast, desaturate, add multiply blend color fill), or add a subtle text shadow (large blur, no offset).
* Everything has an intended size. Don't scale up icons drawn for small sizes; they look chunky. Enclose small icons in a shape with a background if needed for larger spaces. Don't scale down screenshots significantly; they lose detail. Take screenshots at smaller sizes or use partial screenshots. Consider simplified drawings for whole-app screenshots in tight spaces. Don't scale down icons intended for larger sizes; they look choppy. Redraw simplified versions for small sizes like favicons.
* Beware user-uploaded content. Control shape and size by centering images in fixed containers and using `background-size: cover`. Prevent background bleed with a subtle inner box shadow or semi-transparent inner border instead of a standard border.

## Finishing Touches
* Supercharge the defaults by replacing standard elements (bullets with icons, quotes with visual elements, default links, checkboxes/radio buttons) with custom styling.
* Add color with accent borders on cards, navigation items, alerts, headlines, or the entire layout.
* Decorate your backgrounds with different colors (solid or slight gradients), repeating patterns (with low contrast), or simple shapes/illustrations. Keep contrast low so it doesn't interfere with content.
* Don’t overlook empty states for features dependent on user-generated content. Include images/illustrations and emphasize the call-to-action. Consider hiding supporting UI. Empty states are the first impression.
* Use fewer borders to avoid busy designs. Use box shadows, different background colors, or extra spacing to create separation.
* Think outside the box; challenge preconceived notions about component design (dropdowns, tables, radio buttons) and explore alternative layouts and styling. Add images or color to table content. Use selectable cards instead of standard radio buttons.
