Aqua Shop UI

Aqua Shop UI is a set of 12 shop and economy widgets drawn in the cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single sparkle. It contains four purchase row states, an active and an idle category tab, a wallet strip, a quantity stepper, a purchase confirm strip and three countable stock indicators.

A shop screen has one job an inventory screen never has: it must tell the player what they cannot afford before they press the button. Most free sets solve that by turning the price red, which fails for the players who cannot read that red and fails again on a greyscale screenshot. It also collides with the health colour every other part of the interface already uses.

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.

The four row states are told apart by structure rather than by colour. An affordable row carries a solid strip down its left edge, an unaffordable one carries a dashed strip and a bar struck across its price field, and an owned one caps the price field shut and marks its top-right corner. That means the state survives a tint, a colourblind filter and a screenshot with the saturation pulled out. The stock indicator is countable for the same reason: five dots, one dot and none read as full, low and sold out without a single word or hue.

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.
