Minimal Elegant — Premium New Tab

About

The new tab page you'll never want to change. ✨

Minimal Elegant is a premium, typography-first new tab experience designed with Apple-level attention to detail. Featuring seamless light and dark modes, drifting mesh gradients, and glassmorphism — every pixel is intentional.

✦ WHAT YOU GET

•  Light + Dark Mode — Beautiful pill-shaped toggle with smooth 0.5s transitions across every element. Persists your preference automatically
•  Mesh Gradient Background — 4 large, soft gradient blobs drifting slowly (65-80 second cycles) creating a living, breathing backdrop
•  Glassmorphism Search Bar — Frosted glass effect with backdrop-filter blur, subtle scale-up animation on focus
•  Refined Clock — Ultra-light weight (300), tabular-nums for non-jumping digits, accent-colored AM/PM indicator
•  Grain Texture Overlay — Subtle analog noise at ultra-low opacity for that premium, tactile feel
•  Quick Links — glass cards and hover lift effects
•  Smart Search — Auto-focuses on any printable key press

✦ LIGHT MODE PALETTE
• Warm cream white (#FEFCF6) background
• Muted sage green (#7C9885) accent
