The synthwave floor: a perspective grid under a sunset with scanline stripes. It takes no params; palette and cell size do the styling.

The props group like this:

No params. Style it with palette, cell and matrix.

Examples

Neon

A cold palette turns the sunset into a neon signboard.

Coarse print

Bigger cells give the grid a chunkier, poster-like grain.

Notes

  • Decorative and aria-hidden. Put real text on top of it, not inside it.
  • With reduced motion it draws one still frame at 6s and stops.
  • It pauses when scrolled out of view or when the tab is hidden.
  • It shares one WebGL context with every other ordered effect on the page.
