Dither Gradient
An animated dithered gradient background rendered on a 2D canvas with Bayer-matrix ordered dithering; colors derive from semantic tokens by default.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add dither-gradient
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/dither-gradient.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './dither-gradient.js';

Guidance
Expressive and showcase effectSupport brand expression or a showcase moment.
Use when
- Use only when visual expression supports storytelling, brand differentiation, or a clear showcase moment. Do not place heavy effects in task-dense workflows where clarity, speed, and readability matter more.
Avoid when
- Avoid using dither-gradient as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- low
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- high
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Static content-first presentation
Anti-patterns
- Heavy effects in forms or task-dense workflows
- Motion that interferes with reading or focus

Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.
Data slots
dither-gradient
Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized, reducedMotion.
Usage
<div class="relative h-56 w-full max-w-md overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-border text-primary">
<x-ui.dither-gradient />
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
