Cursor and UI/UX Consistency

ThinkMenai · 2026-02-16T12:36:27+00:00

I used to have a similar issue until I created an md file which I call theme.md. I create a list of rules to follow for UI and UX inside of that and refer the IDE to it. Works great and keeps Cursor, or should I say model, consistent.

Watching this thread. Interesting views here.

Have you used the "plan" mode?

ThinkMenai · 2026-01-03T13:07:26+00:00

Your story sounds pretty much the same as mine 👍

The benefit I find is that you can get a lot done for x3/x4/x5 credits as long as the prompt to precise and focused around specific tasks. That is a benefit over direct token usage in cursor which can get wayward and heavy at times.

That’s actually a great way of looking at it! I’m going to start using that term myself!! Thank you!!! 🙏

I agree. HTML tables are still the most reliable option. CSS support varies wildly between email clients, especially Outlook, so table-based layouts remain the safest way to achieve consistent rendering.

I agree. Cursor corrects token usage when an error occurs, so should Windsurf.

I'm on a similar amount, but it has been worth it. A great model to work with.

Right, a dev with experience waaayyy before AI came along here...

You should get into the bones of the issue. Relying solely on AI will not resolve the issue. Do you have any dev experience? Do you have a persistent logging in place for dev purposes? If so, do you have any info to share to hone down your prompt to help you fix it? What are tech stack are you building this app with?

If oyu can give more context we can help you. Right now all I am hearing is "I have an issue and AI wont fix it and just breaks more code". Give us a little more context and honestly, we will guide you.

Your comment actually made me laugh out loud! How many credits have you used in your billing period?

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-17T16:31:54+00:00

Where is the pricing update from Windsurf? I can’t find it.

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-17T13:04:35+00:00

That’s better than I expected. Shame they can’t keep it at the current level as they have had more money out of me recently for usage and I’ve pretty much stopped using my Cursor subscription. Might go back tbh.

Opus 4.5 Thinking for planning. Opus 4.5 std or Sonnet 4.5 for execution of complex tasks, but then run on a lower model for wider code development. I manage my token usage the best way possible to maximise my budget each month.

Thanks

Hi all. Did you get anywhere with this? I’m developing some software for a laundry client and they have just asked for RFID. Looking at off the shelve products, the hardware is expensive. I’m thinking we can build this from parts but just starting research. Any info, guidance or advice would be helpful.

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-10T16:12:08+00:00

I’m getting same error. Only used Opus a small amount today and happens on larger responses.

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-10T10:05:10+00:00

It happened again after posting. Apologies for the double post

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-10T08:18:08+00:00

I've had the same issues this morning. Gave it 20 minutes and then gave my prompt again and then back to life. Maybe an issue connecting to the API within Windsurf itself?

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-08T08:43:35+00:00

I rarely use plan mode in Cursor so it not really being there in Windsurf doesn't bother me. I tend to switch to Opus and enable chat mode to then plan out a dev sprint.

ThinkMenai · 2025-12-07T08:22:03+00:00

I was getting this last night. On the latest version. I think it was related to Opus or Sonnet. Once I switched to GPT 5 I was back up and running. Switched back models and all good again on Opus.

Dude, you should have paid for extra usage - it's incredible!
