Art Nouveau Ornamental Panels

Stained Ribbon

Three layered ribbons in teal, sage, and peach undulate across a dark ground in a stacked sine-wave motion, edged in gold with glinting enamel bead accents.

When to use it

Art Nouveau hero sections, decorative banners, ambient background overlays in dark-theme UIs.

When not to

Light backgrounds (dark ground is hardcoded). Contexts needing text legibility across the ribbon band.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change ribbon colors to dusty rose, lavender, and ochre by updating PAL.tealDeep, PAL.sage, and PAL.peach, then slow the wave by reducing t*1.2 to t*0.7. 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

  • ribbon colors (PAL object)
  • wave speed multiplier (t*1.2)
  • amplitude (amp=H*0.18)
  • band thickness (band=H*0.16)
  • bead spacing (x+=64)
  • layer opacity values (L.a)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing in fitCanvas()
  • visibilitychange stop/start guard
  • prefers-reduced-motion static draw fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • No pointer interactivity — purely passive
  • Step size of 6px in path loop may show slight faceting at very large viewport widths

  • The HaloThree nested SVG rings of gilded beads and teardrops rotate on slow opposing axes around a breathing gold rosette, evoking Art Nouveau's decorative halos.
  • Whiplash VinesSinuous sage and teal tendrils grow and curl on parchment; each vine ends in a rose or gold bezier-petal bloom, fades, and the cycle restarts.
  • Border WeaverMirrored Art Nouveau bands draw themselves stroke by stroke — gold sine scrolls, sage waves, rose petals, and teal beads trace across parchment then reset.
  • Floral Mandala12 mirrored sectors of sage stems, leaves, and gold-cored petaled flowers breathe and slowly rotate around a central rosette on a dark warm ground.
  • The Four Seasons ArcRotating floral halo cross-fades through four seasonal colourways — spring sage, summer rose, autumn gold, winter teal — each with distinct petal count.
  • Mosaic TendrilsColored beads bloom and connect with gradient lines, branching into tendrils that slowly replace oldest nodes. Art Nouveau palette: gold, sage, rose,…
