💎 Day 8: Pro UI Refinements & SwiftUI Layout Secrets | THATS IT Devlog

Progress continues on Select Your Minerals With Purpose! Today was all about aesthetic polish and solving tricky layout logic in SwiftUI. 🚀

What’s new in today’s update:

✨ Visual Overhaul: Updated the Activity Scene with a custom gradient glow background to create more depth and a premium feel.

🔘 Button Styling: Experimented with Gradient Meshes on activity buttons. This significantly improved visibility and makes the UI "pop" on high-res displays.

🛠️ Layout Breakthrough: Discovered the power of ViewThatFits! I used this to meet a specific client requirement: centering a VStack or VGrid on the screen when there are only a few elements, while allowing it to scroll naturally when the list grows.

Technical Highlights:

SwiftUI: Using ViewThatFits for dynamic centering.

Design: Gradient Mesh implementation for UI components.

UX: Improving accessibility and visibility through color experimentation.
