- Set Header Overlay Opacity for title readability over bright/busy covers.
- Add Header Blur only if needed to soften cover noise.
- Tune Profile Header Color + Header Title Glow to match your existing accent system.
- Apply Theme Accent Elements and Seasonal Decorations only if they support the current vibe.
- Finish with Compatibility Glow in a restrained accent shade.

Common Fixes
- Header text unreadable: raise overlay before changing colors.
- Header feels muddy: lower blur and reduce overlay slightly.
- Glow looks harsh: switch to Soft or use a less saturated color.
- Theme feels overloaded: use either Theme Accent Elements or Seasonal Decorations, not both at high intensity.
- Section feels inconsistent: align header color/glow with your links/buttons/navigation accent family.
