🎬 XtremFlow Apple TV Theme - Complete Redesign ✨

What Changed?

1. Color Palette (Apple TV Modern)

Before (Too Vibrant)

Primary:   #00D4FF (100% saturation - electronic)
Secondary: #FF6B6B (soft red - casual)
Tertiary:  #00E5BB (mint - gaming feel)
Glass:     8% opacity (too visible)

After (Sophisticated & Premium)

Primary:   #00A0D2 (80% saturation - refined teal)
Secondary: #FF3B30 (Apple red - official)
Tertiary:  #34C759 (Apple green - certified)
Glass:     6% opacity (premium, subtle refinement)

Impact: Looks like real Apple TV now instead of gaming UI

2. Typography (TV-Optimized for 10ft Viewing)

Display Text (Hero Titles)

Style	Before	After	Change
Display Large	56px	64px	+8px (bigger for TV)
Line Height	1.1	1.2	Better breathing

Body Text (Content Description)

Style	Before	After	Change
Body Large	16px / 1.5 line	16px / 1.6 line	+0.1 line (10% more readable)
Body Medium	14px / 1.5 line	14px / 1.6 line	+0.1 line (easier to read)

Impact: Text is more readable at 10 feet, better breathing room

---

3. Focus States (Remote Control Optimized)

Before

• Scale: 1.04-1.06x (subtle, hard to see)
• No visual glow
• Borderwidth: 1-1.5px

After

• Scale: 1.06x (clear, obvious focus)
• Glow shadow: 20px blur, 4px spread (cinematic)
• Border: 2-2.5px white (high contrast)

Impact: Remote navigation is MUCH clearer from 10 feet away

---

4. Shadow System (Cinematic Depth - NEW!)

5-Level Professional Shadow System:

Level 1 (Xs):   2px blur,  0 2px offset (subtle UI elements)
Level 2 (Sm):   4px blur,  0 2px offset (cards)
Level 3 (Md):   8px blur,  0 4px offset (elevated cards, buttons)
Level 4 (Lg):  16px blur,  0 8px offset (modals, panels)
Level 5 (Xl):  24px blur,  0 12px offset (floating menus, dropdowns)

Impact: Professional depth perception, cinematic feel

---

5. Glass Effects (Premium Refinement)

Before

• 8% white opacity (visible, plastic-like)
• 15% border opacity
• No sophisticated blur effects

After

• 6% white opacity (subtle, premium)
• 12% border opacity (refined)
• Combined with backdrop blur 15px (iOS-style glass)

Impact: Looks expensive and refined, not cheap

---

6. Component Styling

✅ Buttons (56px min height - TV comfortable)

• Primary: Teal (#00A0D2) with black text
• Outlined: White border (2px)
• Text: Secondary action

✅ Cards (Modern rounded corners)
