How does it handle Dark Mode?

It provides two approaches: a CSS media query pattern for system-level preferences and a manual toggle pattern that persists user choice via chrome.storage.sync.

Are the UI patterns responsive?

Yes, the styles utilize flexible layouts and CSS variables to ensure the UI adapts correctly to different user-resized side panels and varying popup content.

What UI components are included in this skill?

The skill includes standardized patterns for Popups (within 800x600px limits), Side Panels, Options/Settings pages, and shared elements like toggles, tabs, and action lists.

Are the layouts compliant with accessibility standards?

Yes, the patterns include specific implementations for ARIA roles, skip links, focus trapping in modals, and keyboard navigation to ensure WCAG compliance.

Can I use these patterns for Manifest V3 extensions?

Absolutely. All UI patterns, including the Side Panel and Options page layouts, are fully compatible with Chrome Extension Manifest V3 requirements.
