When to use it

Memphis or 80s-retro themed hero sections, loading screens, or decorative backgrounds needing bold color-blocked motion.

When not to

Contexts requiring calm or neutral aesthetics; low-end devices where multiple simultaneous CSS animations may stutter.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change bar count to 5 by setting N=5, trim chevHeights and phases arrays to match, and swap --mp03-teal to #C09C59 for a gold accent. 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

  • bar count (N=7)
  • palette CSS variables (--mp03-teal, --mp03-pink, etc.)
  • animation timing (1100ms cubic-bezier)
  • phase offsets array (phases[])
  • chevron height array (chevHeights[])
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • visibilitychange pause/resume handler
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color is hardcoded in CSS variable --mp03-bg; must edit both :root and body background to change it
  • Chevron silhouette is a fixed clip-path polygon — altering zigzag sharpness requires changing polygon points manually
