When to use it

Luxury brand hero sections, art deco themed UIs, ambient decorative backgrounds needing restrained high-craft motion.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlays at center; the pulsing core and overlapping blades compete with foreground content.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change blade count to 12 by setting N=12, slow the rotation to 14s, and swap --ad09-emerald to #1a0a2e for a deep purple background. 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=8)
  • rotation duration (9s)
  • --ad09-gold / --ad09-gold-lt colors
  • --ad09-emerald background accent
  • outer/inner star radius (rOut=22, rIn=8.6)
  • easing curve (cubic-bezier(.62,0,.38,1))
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion CSS guard + JS matchMedia check
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • transform-box:fill-box on animated groups
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • star2 uses transform-origin attribute which is SVG 2.0 — may not apply correctly in older WebKit
  • Blade path is hand-crafted for 8-fold symmetry; changing N without redrawing the blade shape will produce gaps or overlaps
