Midnight Editorial(午夜金辉)
A single-aesthetic deck plugin: the midnight-editorial preset from the
upstream MIT-licensed
nicobailon/visual-explainer
skill (templates/slide-deck.html), pinned and shipped as one self-contained
seed — example.html. The upstream mermaid diagram slide has been replaced by
a pure CSS/SVG pipeline page; the deck has zero external JS dependencies
(Google Fonts @import is the only external reference).
Signature combination (what makes this skin this skin):
- Deep navy + warm gold —
#0f1729page,#d4a73aaccent, parchment text#e8e4d8. Cinematic, magazine-grade, dramatic. - Serif display → mono label drop — Instrument Serif at up to 120px
(
clamp(48px,10vw,120px), weight 400, -2px tracking, 0.95 line-height) falling directly to 13–14px uppercase JetBrains Mono labels with 1.5px letter-spacing. No intermediate sans anywhere. - Gold radial accent glow — every content slide carries one
radial-gradient(ellipse at X% Y%, var(--accent-dim) 0%, transparent ~40%)inline background, with the ellipse anchor moving per slide. - Gold SVG corner marks + ghost numerals — 2px gold corner line marks at
opacity 0.15 on the title slide; dividers carry a ghost
clamp(100px,22vw,260px)gold numeral at opacity 0.06. - Cinematic staggered transitions — slides enter with
fade + translateY(40px) + scale(0.98)oncubic-bezier(0.16,1,0.3,1);.revealchildren stagger at 0.1s increments (max 6). - SlideEngine dual theme — explicit dark/light toggle (T key + ◐ chrome
button,
html[data-theme]), defaulting to the OS preference. The light mode is a locked cream/gold skin, not an afterthought.
Start from example.html. Replace content only — never rewrite the design
system or the runtime script, and never introduce colors or fonts outside the
token sheets below.

}
The same light block is mirrored under
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) { html:not([data-theme]) { … } } as a
no-JS fallback. Both themes are part of the contract — every slide you
author must read correctly in both. Semantic colors (--green/--red/--blue)
are for status only (trends, before/after labels, diagram node families) —
never decorative.
Fonts (locked — Google Fonts @import only)
| Slot | Font | Usage |
|---|---|---|
--font-body |
Instrument Serif (400 + italic), Georgia fallback | display, headings, body, KPI values, quotes |
--font-mono |
JetBrains Mono 400/500/600/700 | labels, subtitles, counters, axis/edge labels, code |
No third font. No bold serif — drama comes from size, not weight.

FAQ
Can I change the colors?
The main colors are fixed to maintain the 'midnight-editorial' style. You can use semantic colors (green, red, blue) to indicate status, but not for general decoration.
Do I need programming to use it?
No, the goal is for you to replace the existing content in the example file. The design and animations are already set up.
Can I use any font type?
No, the plugin uses only two specific fonts: 'Instrument Serif' for titles and body text, and 'JetBrains Mono' for labels and captions. This ensures visual consistency.
