Description
ColorShifter is designed to introduce motion through layered gradients.
Instead of a single moving surface, it uses multiple gradient layers that slide across each other, creating depth and variation. Direction, speed, and easing can all be adjusted, allowing the effect to feel smooth and controlled or more dynamic depending on the configuration.
Because the movement is directional, it adds structure to the background while still remaining flexible.
This makes it suitable for layouts that benefit from motion, but still require a sense of order and consistency.
Use Cases
- Hero sections
- Landing pages
- Section backgrounds
- Brand-focused layouts
Control & Customisation
All aspects of the effect can be adjusted visually through the Customizer.
- Colour palette (up to six colours)

- Primary and secondary movement directions

- Layer opacity control
- Preset system (included and custom)
Effects can also be applied at a page or container level when needed.
Performance
Designed to run smoothly using layered gradients rather than complex animated elements.
