Mild Foil Animation

Objective

Reduce the intensity of foil effects to make the static appearance identical to non-foil cards (as requested), while keeping the animation "mildly visible" rather than dominating.

Changes

  • Modified FoilOverlay in src/client/src/components/CardPreview.tsx:
    • Removed Static Gloss: Deleted the bg-white/5 mix-blend-screen layer. This ensures the base brightness of foil cards matches the standard "Universal Gloss" shared with non-foils.
    • Softened Circular Glare:
      • Reduced the white intensity in the radial gradient from 0.5 to 0.25.
      • Reduced the layer opacity from 80 to 25.
      • This makes the rotating white sheen subtle and ghostly rather than a bright spotlight.
    • Retained: The low-opacity rolling rainbow layer (opacity-30) to provide the necessary color play.

Result

Foil cards now look cleaner and less washed out, matching the visual weight of normal cards, but possess a delicate, rotating shimmer that catches the eye without distracting from the art.
