Introducing Fezluxe: A Study in Refined Architectural Elegance

For a long time, Fezcodex has been defined by its raw, uncompromising Brutalist roots. It was a choice born from a desire for honesty in code—unhidden boundaries, high contrast, and a deliberate lack of "polish" in favor of structural clarity. But as the archive grew, so did the need for a counterpart.

Enter Fezluxe.

"Luxe" isn't just about pretty colors or smooth gradients. In the context of Fezcodex, it represents a shift toward Digital Sanctuary. If Brutalism is a concrete skyscraper under construction, Luxe is the finished gallery inside—it's about the space between the content, the rhythm of the scroll, and the weight of the typography.

We moved away from the chaotic high-frequency density of the Brutalist theme and embraced Architectural Calm.

The most significant change in this redesign is the Sliding Window Stack for projects. Instead of a standard vertical list, we implemented a rolling pile of cards.

• Each card has its own "solo time" on the stage.
• As you scroll, new projects slide up and elegantly cover the previous ones.
• It’s designed to respect the viewer’s focus: one project at a time, but with the context of the whole collection visible on the side.

We introduced Playfair Display (italicized) for headings and Outfit for utility. The combination of a high-contrast Serif with a clean Geometric Sans-Serif creates a hierarchy that feels both historical and futuristic.

The background isn't white; it's #F5F5F0. It’s a soft, eggshell/parchment tone that reduces eye strain and provides a warm canvas for the Burnished Amber (#8D4004) accents.

The redesign touched every corner of the codebase:

• Theme-Aware Components: From the CommandPalette to CustomSlider, every UI element now detects fezcodexTheme and shifts its visual DNA.
• Framer Motion Integration: The LuxeProjectsPage utilizes advanced scroll-driven transforms (useScroll, useTransform) to handle the cinematic stacking without sacrificing performance.
• Dynamic Renderers: To keep the DOM light, we only calculate and render the cards that are actually in or near the viewport (Previous, Current, Next).

Fezluxe isn't replacing the original Brutalist theme. It’s an expansion of the multiverse. You can still switch back to the raw power of Brutalism via the Command Palette or Settings.

This redesign marks a new chapter for Fezcodex—one where the structure is as beautiful as the content it holds.

Welcome to the new era. Welcome to Fezluxe.
