Art Deco

Sunburst Fan

13 tapered gold rays open and close in mirrored symmetry from a glowing core medallion above a ziggurat plinth, breathing with a 7-second CSS cycle.

When to use it

Art deco hero sections, luxury brand intros, ambient looping backgrounds with a vintage geometric aesthetic.

When not to

Light backgrounds (colors hardcoded for dark); layouts needing static or click-driven interactivity.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change blade count to 17 by setting N=17, widen the spread to 110 degrees, and shift the gold hue to rose gold by updating --ad01-gold to #c9956c. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • blade count (N=13)
  • open spread angle (spread=84)
  • animation duration (7s)
  • gold color tokens (--ad01-gold, --ad01-gold-lt, --ad01-gold-dk)
  • emerald background tint (--ad01-emerald)
  • blade path shape (d variable)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard + paused state
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • transform-box:fill-box pivot pattern
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background and palette fully hardcoded — requires CSS variable edits to retheme
  • SVG gradient stop offsets use unitless numbers (0–100) rather than percentages — nonstandard but works in browsers

  • Radial GrilleConcentric gold rings, 16 spokes, and stepped lozenge diamonds counter-rotate in two layers against deep black, evoking a wrought-iron Art Deco elevator…
