Progress indicator + steps + validation + navigation + save states +- **Media Player**: Controls + playlist + visualizer + sharing + quality selector +- **Dashboard Widget**: Chart + filter + export + refresh + settings + alerts + +#### **Integration Principles** +- **Seamless Flow**: Combined functions feel naturally connected, not forced together +- **Contextual Revelation**: Advanced features appear when needed, hide when not +- **Shared State**: All component functions work with the same data intelligently +- **Progressive Disclosure**: Complexity reveals gradually based on user engagement +- **Unified Interaction**: Single interaction model across all combined functions + +## Enhancement Principles + +### **Thematic Consistency** +- **Visual Cohesion**: All elements follow the same design language strictly +- **Behavioral Harmony**: Animations and interactions reinforce the theme consistently +- **Emotional Resonance**: Theme creates appropriate mood and user connection +- **Memorable Identity**: Component has distinctive personality users remember +- **Authentic Expression**: Theme feels genuine, not superficial decoration + +### **Functional Integration** +- **Two Birds, One Stone**: Genuinely solves multiple UI problems in single component +- **Natural Combination**: Combined functions complement each other logically +- **Efficiency Gain**: Users accomplish more with fewer interface elements +- **Reduced Cognitive Load**: Integration simplifies rather than complicates usage +- **Smart Coordination**: Functions work together intelligently, sharing context + +### **Practical Excellence** +- **Enhanced Usability**: Hybrid approach makes tasks easier, not harder +- **Performance Optimized**: Multiple functions don't compromise speed or smoothness +- **Accessibility Maintained**: All functions fully accessible via keyboard and screen reader +- **Responsive Design**: Works beautifully across all device sizes and orientations +- **Self-Evident Value**: Users immediately understand and appreciate the combination + +## Theme Development Guide + +### **Visual Identity** +- **Color Psychology**: Choose palettes that reinforce theme emotional goals +- **Typography Character**: Select fonts that embody the theme personality +- **Spatial Rhythm**: Use spacing and proportions that feel thematically appropriate +- **Texture & Depth**: Apply visual treatments that strengthen theme identity +- **Iconography Style**: Create or adapt icons that match thematic language + +### **Motion Language** +- **Easing Personality**: Custom timing functions that feel thematically consistent +- **Animation Metaphors**: Movement patterns inspired by theme concepts +- **Transition Flow**: State changes that reinforce thematic narrative +- **Physics Simulation**: Natural or stylized physics that match theme world +- **Feedback Rhythm**: Response timing that creates appropriate emotional pace + +### **Interaction Behaviors** +- **Input Response**: How component reacts to user actions thematically +- **State Communication**: Visual language for different component states +- **Error Personality**: How problems are communicated within theme voice +- **Success Celebration**: Achievement feedback that matches theme energy +- **Loading Character**: Wait states that maintain theme immersion + +## Combination Strategies + +### **Function Pairing Logic** +- **Workflow Optimization**: Combine steps users typically do in sequence +- **Context Sharing**: Functions that benefit from shared data or state +- **Space Efficiency**: Multiple functions in constrained interface real estate +- **Cognitive Grouping**: Related functions users think of as connected +- **Progressive Enhancement**: Basic function enhanced by additional capabilities + +### **Integration Patterns** +- **Nested Functions**: One component contains others as sub-features +- **Parallel Functions**: Multiple capabilities available simultaneously +- **Sequential Functions**: Workflow that progresses through different modes +- **Contextual Functions**: Features that appear based on current state or data +- **Adaptive Functions**: Component behavior changes based on usage patterns + +### **State Management** +- **Unified Data Model**: Single source of truth for all combined functions +- **Intelligent Defaults**: Smart initial states based on combined function needs +- **Cross-Function Communication**: Changes in one area appropriately affect others +- **Memory & Recovery**: Component remembers user preferences across all functions +- **Conflict Resolution**: Graceful handling when combined functions have competing needs + +## Quality Standards + +### **Thematic Execution** +- **Authentic Voice**: Theme feels genuine and well-researched, not superficial +- **Consistent Application**: Every design decision reinforces the chosen theme +- **Emotional Impact**: Theme creates appropriate user emotional response +- **Cultural Sensitivity**: Themes respect cultural contexts and avoid stereotypes +- **Timeless Quality**: Theme execution feels polished, not trendy or dated + +### **Hybrid Functionality** +-
