Description
ColorCycler is designed to introduce change without movement.
Instead of animating elements or patterns, it cycles through a defined palette of colours, creating a background that evolves gradually over time. The transitions are smooth and controlled, allowing the effect to remain subtle and consistent across different layouts.
This makes it particularly useful in situations where motion might be distracting, but a static background feels too rigid.
By adjusting timing and palette, the effect can be tuned to feel calm and minimal, or more noticeable depending on the design.
Use Cases
- Hero sections
- Landing pages
- Brand-focused layouts
- Backgrounds requiring minimal distraction
Control & Customisation
All aspects of the effect can be adjusted visually through the Customizer.
- Colour palette (up to ten colours)
- Blend speed and transition timing
- Pause duration between shifts
- Random start positioning
- Static mode when needed
- Preset system (included and custom)
Effects can also be applied to specific containers for more targeted use.
Performance
Designed to run smoothly with minimal overhead, using simple colour transitions rather than animated elements.
