Slate Leaderboard

Slate Leaderboard is a set of 12 leaderboard and achievement widgets drawn in the realistic style, where a five-stop specular gradient runs down a brushed metal face with rivets at the corners. 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 brush texture is a 3px line pattern rather than real noise: noise triples the PNG weight for a texture nobody can see at 1x. The shadow is layered rather than blurred so it holds up at 4x.

Inside that style this is the Slate reading of it: a dark interface on a neutral slate palette with warm gold accents, built around a single bordered frame, square-cornered buttons at 128x40, banded 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 Slate family, which means this kit and the Slate panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for realistic and simulation interfaces.
