When to use it

Luxury or Art Deco hero backgrounds, dark-mode splash screens, decorative overlays for premium brand contexts.

When not to

Light backgrounds (colors hardcoded dark). Contexts requiring readable text overlay — the shimmer competes with foreground content.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change lattice cell pitch from step=28 to step=20 for a finer grid, and update --ad11-gold to #e8c97a for a warmer gold tone. 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

  • lattice cell pitch (step=28)
  • gold palette (--ad11-gold, --ad11-gold-hi, --ad11-gold-lo)
  • sheen travel duration (5.4s)
  • node glint opacity range (0.28 to 1)
  • max node count (MAXN=110)
  • corner fan radius (r=46)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • mask #ad11-latmask (clips sheen to lattice strokes only)
  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard + visibilitychange pause
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • Node glint timing tied to sheen duration (5.4s) — changing travel speed requires updating both @keyframes and animationDelay calculation
