desktop-app-showcase

name	desktop-app-showcase
description	Create desktop application showcase graphics in SVG featuring macOS-style window chrome, sidebars, multi-panel layouts, chat interfaces, and code diffs. Use for developer tools, AI assistants, IDE plugins, productivity apps, and desktop software marketing. Output polished app mockups with gradient backgrounds.

Desktop App Showcase Graphics

Create SVG graphics that showcase desktop applications with macOS-style window frames, multi-panel layouts, and professional gradient backgrounds. Think Linear, Raycast, Warp, Cursor, or Claude desktop app marketing.

Key principle: Show the app in action with realistic content, not empty states.

When to Use

• Developer tool landing pages
• AI assistant/copilot marketing
• IDE and code editor showcases
• Desktop app Product Hunt launches
• macOS/Windows app marketing
• CLI tool with GUI wrapper showcases
• Changelog and feature announcements
• Documentation hero images
• App store screenshots

Best for showing desktop software with multiple panels, sidebars, and real content.

Quick Reference

Pattern	Use Case	Key Elements
Three-Column	IDE/dev tools	Sidebar + main + detail panel
Two-Column	Chat apps, settings	Sidebar + main content
Single Panel	Focused app view	Full window with content
Split View	Before/after, diff	Two equal panels side by side
Floating Windows	Multi-window apps	Overlapping app windows

Quality Checklist

Before finalizing:

• Window has proper macOS chrome (traffic lights, title bar)
• Shadow is soft and appropriately sized
• Background gradient is smooth and appealing
• Typography is consistent (system-ui for UI, monospace for code)
• Panels have clear visual hierarchy
• Borders and dividers are subtle (#e5e7eb)
• Code syntax highlighting is readable
• Diff colors are standard (green for add, red for remove)
• Content looks realistic (not placeholder text)
• Overall composition is balanced

Automatic rejection if:

• No window shadow (looks flat/pasted on)
• Wrong traffic light colors or sizing
• Inconsistent typography mixing
• Harsh background colors
• Code is unreadable or poorly formatted
• Diff highlighting colors are non-standard

Mobile-Friendly SVG Rules

All SVGs must render well on mobile (375px width and up):

1. Always use viewBox — never fixed width/height. Let SVGs scale responsively.
2. Minimum text size: 12px equivalent at viewBox scale. Code text can go to 11px minimum.
3. Test at 375px wide: Verify window chrome, sidebar labels, and code text remain legible.
4. Responsive embed: Use width="100%" height="auto" or CSS max-width: 100% in HTML.
5. Simplify panels at small sizes: Consider reducing to 2-column or single-panel layouts if the full 3-column gets unreadable at mobile widths.

Execution Steps

1. Define the app type - What kind of desktop app? (IDE, chat, settings, etc.)
2. Choose layout - Three-column, two-column, split view?
3. Set canvas and background - Size, gradient colors
4. Create window frame - macOS chrome, shadow
5. Build sidebar - Navigation items, sections
6. Create main content - Chat messages, file browser, etc.
7. Add detail panel - Code diff, preview, settings
8. Apply typography - System fonts, proper sizing
9. Add status elements - Badges, checkmarks, timestamps
10. Polish - Shadows, borders, spacing
11. Review - Does it look like a real app?
