Aqua Leaderboard

Aqua Leaderboard is a set of 12 leaderboard and achievement widgets drawn in the cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single sparkle. It contains three place rows and a plain row, a highlighted row for the player, a three-place podium, a locked and an unlocked achievement plate, an achievement progress bar, two rarity strips and an achievement showcase shelf.

Gold, silver and bronze are the obvious way to draw the top three and they are also the one palette a game cannot control: the moment your interface accent is warm, the gold row stops reading as first place and starts reading as selected. And the row a player actually looks for is their own, which is never in the top three.

The gloss is a hard-edged split at 44% of the height, not a smooth gradient: a soft fade reads as glass, a hard split reads as drawn. The offset drop shadow is solid rather than blurred for the same reason.

Inside that style this is the Aqua reading of it: a dark interface on a deep teal palette with ice blue accents, built around a single bordered frame, square-cornered buttons at 128x40, glossy bars divided into 10 segments, and outlined icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

Place is carried by the width of the rank block on the left, stepping down from first to third, so the podium order is legible before any number is read and stays legible in whatever colour the family uses. The player row is different again: it is the only row drawn with a full outline, which is what lets it be found by scrolling rather than by reading. Achievement plates lock and unlock by structure, since the locked plate keeps its frame and empties its field, so a shelf of achievements has a shape before any of them are earned.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Aqua family, which means this kit and the Aqua panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for anime and cartoon games.
