Dusk Leaderboard

Dusk Leaderboard is a set of 12 leaderboard and achievement widgets drawn in the pixel art style, where every corner is a staircase of whole pixels and nothing is anti-aliased. 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 outline steps in 4px units and shading is a Bayer dither rather than a gradient, so the set survives being scaled by an integer factor — which is the only way pixel art can be scaled without turning to mush.

Inside that style this is the Dusk reading of it: a dark interface on a night-violet palette with amber accents, built around a header band across the top of the frame, square-cornered buttons at 96x32, tick-marked bars divided into 6 segments, and solid icons on a 16px 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 Dusk family, which means this kit and the Dusk panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for pixel-art games.
