Buttons & Toggles

Clay Press Toggle

Three settings rows on a pressed-fibre card, each a real checkbox behind an unfired clay tile: raised fibre when off, pressed pigment with paper tooth and a drawn press mark when on, answering in 90 ms with no spring. A footer counts what is on; the idle demo presses one tile at a time.

When to use it

Settings panels, preference lists and consent rows in material or field-science products — anywhere a toggle should feel pressed rather than slid.

When not to

Dense tables of switches, or a single inline on/off in a toolbar.

Working with an AI agent

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

Edit the opts array (label, description, tone: clay / moss / water, initial state) and the demo cadence EVERY=2200; recolour via the pigment tokens and keep --cp16-on for the mark on a pigment fill. 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

  • opts array (label, description, tone, checked)
  • demo cadence (EVERY) and tap duration (90ms)
  • card shape (28px 14px 28px 14px leaf radius) and tile radius (14px)
  • pigments (--cp16-clay, --cp16-moss, --cp16-water) and the fibre / tooth textures
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • real <input type=checkbox> inside each label (keyboard and screen readers get the native control)
  • every restrictive toggle carries a description; state is never colour alone
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (instant state changes, no demo)
  • visibilitychange pause
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Bricolage Grotesque and Noto Sans render only if installed — system sans fallback
  • The demo toggles settings by itself for the wall; remove the clock in a product

  • Neon Glow PulseAmber pill button on near-black that breathes a bright neon bloom via opacity pulse on a pseudo-element; hover shifts background and text color.
  • Jelly PressAurora-gradient button squashes and stretches with a spring keyframe animation on click; auto-cycles idle squish every 2.1s to stay alive at rest.
