Week 8
Goal
Align quiz UI colors with design system using CSS accent variables.
Actual Scope (expanded)
Instead of just magenta, implemented full color scheme alignment:
1. Button primary variant — CSS variables
components/ui/button.tsx
- Changed from hardcoded
bg-blue-600 to bg-[var(--accent-primary)]
- Light: blue (#1e5eff), Dark: magenta (#ff2d55)
- Hover uses
--accent-hover
2. CountdownTimer — traffic light colors
components/quiz/CountdownTimer.tsx
- Changed default color from blue to green
- Traffic light system: green (>30%) → yellow (10-30%) → red (≤10%)
3. QuizQuestion — border-only feedback
components/quiz/QuizQuestion.tsx
- Removed background fills from correct/incorrect answers
- Border-only:
border-1 border-green-500 / border-1 border-red-500
- Explanation blocks: border-only (blue for correct, orange for incorrect)
4. QuizProgress — semi-transparent pagination
components/quiz/QuizProgress.tsx
- Changed from solid to semi-transparent backgrounds:
bg-blue-500/20
- Thinner border:
border-2 → border
- Matches Q&A pagination style
5. Quizzes page — padding alignment
app/[locale]/quizzes/page.tsx
- Added
px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8 to match header padding
- Container no longer wider than header
6. Quizzes page — dynamic grid background
app/[locale]/quizzes/page.tsx
- Added
DynamicGridBackground wrapper (same as Q&A page)
- Quilted grid effect follows mouse cursor on hover
- Blue grid in light mode, pink/magenta in dark mode
- Added
min-h-screen for full viewport coverage
- Visual consistency with Q&A browsing experience

Architectural Decisions
- CSS variables: Buttons adapt to theme automatically
- Traffic light UX: Intuitive time remaining indication
- Consistent styling: Quiz pagination matches Q&A pagination
- Border-only feedback: Cleaner, less visually overwhelming
- Browsing vs focus states: DynamicGridBackground on list pages (Q&A, Quizzes), clean UI on quiz flow pages (rules, active quiz) — visual transition signals "focus mode"
