AI Prompt

Create a carbon fiber UI material with dark woven diagonal strands, low specular shine, technical precision, and enough contrast for foreground text.

Tailwind notes

Use crossed repeating-linear-gradients with small scale and low contrast.

Performance notes

Repeating gradients are fine at small areas. Avoid covering the entire page with high-frequency patterns.
