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 gradient-bars 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

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.
