Liquid Melt

7 lava-lamp blobs drift and merge with cycling pink-to-cyan hues on a dark canvas; "MELT" lettering warps per-glyph with skew and scale transforms above.

When to use it

Dark-themed hero sections, psychedelic or creative portfolio backgrounds, ambient screensaver-style displays.

When not to

Light backgrounds (canvas bg hardcoded dark), content layouts requiring legible text overlays, low-end mobile (pixel loop per frame).

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the word from 'MELT' to 'FLUX', shift hue range to 60+90 (yellow-to-green band) by editing the `hue = 260 + 90*Math.sin(hp)` line, and increase blob count NB from 7 to 10. 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

  • display word (WORD variable)
  • blob count (NB=7)
  • hue range (260 + 90*Math.sin)
  • blob speed (vx/vy *= 0.00026)
  • letter warp intensity (0.16 scale, 10px translateY, 5deg skewX)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • low-res 88x88 canvas upscaled via CSS (perf critical)
  • IIFE wrapper
  • reduced-motion static-frame guard
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Pixel loop runs every frame — CPU-bound on low-end devices
  • Background color hardcoded to #0a0612 in CSS
  • No touch/pointer interactivity — purely passive
