	Success Panel Displays a positive outcome using a green background and a check icon. Used to confirm actions such as form submissions or successful operations.
	Error Panel Indicates failure with a red background and alert icon. Helps users identify and resolve problems quickly.

Properties

Animation The panel’s success or failure animation plays smoothly.
Description Each panel contains a clear description with optional supporting information (e.g., reference ID or code).

Property Configuration Table

Each design component offers a range of configurable options. These options are intentionally platform-agnostic, allowing implementations to adapt and tailor them to align with the specific requirements of the chosen framework.

Interaction State

---

Mousedown State When a user presses down on the input field to begin entering text, the field responds by slightly darkening its background colour. This immediate visual feedback reinforces the interactivity of the component, signalling to the user that the input field is active and ready to receive input.

Behaviours

	Dynamic Positioning The Panel can adapt its position dynamically based on the device or screen size, ensuring visibility without obstructing critical UI elements.

---

Usage Guide

---

	Use clear text and an icon to show the state Use clear, concise text with relevant icons to indicate success or error states, ensuring users quickly understand the message. Avoid using excessive or unnecessary information that clutters the panel, making it harder to read at a glance.
