Art Nouveau

Peacock Curl

Five peacock-feather plumes unfurl from a central fan, swaying gently in gold and green whiplash lines with jewel-toned iridescent eyes at each tip.

When to use it

Decorative hero backgrounds, luxury brand tiles, or art-nouveau-themed ambient displays needing organic, slow-motion elegance.

When not to

Light-background layouts (background is hardcoded dark #0e1310). Contexts where constant looping scale animation would distract from foreground content.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the plume spine color by editing the an05-vine gradient stops from #d8b860/#6f8a4e to #e07aff/#4a3f8a for a purple Art Nouveau palette. 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

  • vine gradient colors (an05-vine stop-color values)
  • eye gradient colors (an05-eye stop-color values)
  • plume fan spread (rotate values on each g, currently -44/-22/0/22/44)
  • unfurl duration (dur='7.5s' on animateTransform scale)
  • sway amplitude (rotate values offsets, currently ±4–7 degrees)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (setCurrentTime + pauseAnimations)
  • visibilitychange pause/unpause handler
  • IIFE wrapper
  • SVG defs reuse pattern (#an05-plume via use href)
  • 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
  • SVG animate/animateTransform display:none reduced-motion trick may not settle perfectly in all browsers; JS fallback handles it
  • No touch or pointer interactivity — purely decorative
