For hover effects on the inventory slots and buttons in your dark-themed UI, consider the following suggestions to create an engaging user experience:

Inventory Slot Hover Effect:

• Effect: Increase the brightness of the slot color and add a slight shadow for depth.
• Color Change: On hover, change the slot color from Charcoal Gray ( #1E1E1E ) to a lighter shade, such as Dark Slate Gray ( #2C2C2C ).
• Shadow: Add a subtle shadow effect (e.g., 0px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6)) to give the slot a lifted appearance.

Button Hover Effect:

• Effect: Change the background color and add a glow effect around the button.
• Color Change: On hover, change the button color from Deep Blue ( #1A237E ) to a lighter blue like Sky Blue ( #42A5F5 ).
• Glow: Add a soft outer glow effect around the button (e.g., 0px 0px 10px rgba(0, 188, 212, 0.5)) to create a modern feel.

Example CSS:

css
.slot {
    background-color: 
                            
                            #1E1E1E
                        ;
    transition: background-color 0.3s, box-shadow 0.3s;
}

.slot:hover {
    background-color: 
                            
                            #2C2C2C
                        ;
    box-shadow: 0px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
}

.button {
    background-color: 
                            
                            #1A237E
                        ;
    transition: background-color 0.3s, box-shadow 0.3s;
}

.button:hover {
    background-color: 
                            
                            #42A5F5
                        ;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 188, 212, 0.5);
}

These hover effects will enhance the interactivity of your inventory UI while remaining consistent with the “Dark Elegance” theme. Would you like additional recommendations for icons or typography that could complement this design?
