Lily Pond

Stylised lilies with radial petals and kidney pads drift over expanding gold ripple rings on a deep green pond, framed by whiplash vine corners.

When to use it

Ambient hero backgrounds for botanical, wellness, or art nouveau-themed UIs. Looping screensavers or decorative section dividers.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlays — dark pond background limits contrast. Low-end devices running continuous rAF loops.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change lily petal color from rose to lavender by setting ROSE to '#b08fbf' and ROSE2 to '#d4bbe0', and add a fifth lily at {x:0.80, y:0.70, s:0.65, h:0, ph:5.2} to the lilies array. 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

  • palette constants (GOLD, ROSE, GREEN, LEAF, PETAL)
  • lily positions and scales (lilies array)
  • ripple origin points (ripO array)
  • drift speed multiplier (time*0.5)
  • vine corner margin (S*0.06)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (reduce variable)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing with setTransform
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in BG constant and radial gradient stops — edit both to change pond color
  • Ripple origins are fixed, not cursor-driven
  • Vine corners scale only with S (min dimension), not aspect ratio
