Art Deco

Radial Grille

Concentric gold rings, 16 spokes, and stepped lozenge diamonds counter-rotate in two layers against deep black, evoking a wrought-iron Art Deco elevator grille.

When to use it

Ambient hero backgrounds, luxury brand splash screens, or decorative loaders needing a timeless geometric aesthetic.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlay — the spinning layers compete with content. Avoid on low-end devices if many instances run simultaneously.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the primary spoke count from N=16 to N=24, set --ad07-gold to #c9a84c, and slow the outer rotation from 38s to 60s. 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

  • spoke count (N=16 primary, M=12 counter)
  • rotation speeds (38s clockwise, 26s counter)
  • gold palette (--ad07-gold, --ad07-gold-lt, --ad07-gold-dk)
  • lozenge placement radius (r=33)
  • medallion breathe duration (9s)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (CSS + JS paused state)
  • visibilitychange pause handler
  • CSS var() on stop-color via class selectors (SVG gradient theming pattern)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • All gold/color values must be set via CSS custom properties — SVG presentation attributes do not resolve CSS var(); direct attribute edits will not theme correctly
  • No touch or pointer interaction — purely decorative

  • Ziggurat RiseThree stepped gold ziggurat skyscrapers rise and settle with a damped bob against a radial sunburst on deep black — staggered entrance, then looping.
  • Fountain ArcsSymmetrical golden arcs well up from a central jet with a chevron crown, fanning outward in a breathing 7.2s cycle over a near-black field.
  • Chevron MarchInterlocking gold and ink chevron bands march in alternating directions across a black canvas; a convoy of gold diamonds glides down a central seam.
  • Fan BloomA 16-rib peacock fan blooms open and closed from a sunburst medallion over a gold ziggurat base; each rib has barbs and an emerald eye-spot.
  • Gatsby FrameGold SVG frame self-draws in fourfold symmetry — ziggurat corners, sunburst fans, chevrons, and a fountain medallion bloom then fade and redraw in a 4.2s…
