How do I install Navbar Dark Shadow?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/navbar-dark-shadow in your terminal. Before installing, add the Aceternity Pro registry to your components.json and set your API token as the ACETERNITY_PRO_TOKEN environment variable. The CLI automatically installs all required dependencies including Tailwind CSS plugins and Framer Motion.

Is Navbar Dark Shadow responsive and accessible?

Yes. The component is fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. It uses semantic HTML elements, proper heading hierarchy, and accessible color contrast ratios. Touch targets are appropriately sized for mobile interactions, and all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable.

Can I customize the colors, fonts, and layout?

Everything is built with Tailwind CSS utility classes and Framer Motion animations. You can change colors, spacing, typography, border radius, shadows, and animation timing directly in the JSX — no separate CSS files to manage. The component uses your project's Tailwind theme, so it automatically adapts to your design system.

What frameworks does this work with?

Navbar Dark Shadow is built for React and Next.js (App Router and Pages Router). It requires Tailwind CSS v4 and Framer Motion. It works with any React-based framework including Remix, Gatsby, and Vite — just ensure Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion are configured in your project.

Navbar Dark Shadow

A dark navbar with deep ridge and groove shadows, dropdown mega menu with a 3-column grid layout including a blog panel, and full light/dark mode support.

Reverb

Dark navbar with a tactile ridge-and-groove shadow system. The header uses layered inset and outer shadows to create a recessed channel effect, while the CTA button stacks multiple shadow layers for an embossed look.

Dropdown panels slide smoothly between Products and Resources using a shared layout animation. The Products dropdown opens a 3-column grid with categorized links and a featured blog post with image. The Resources dropdown collapses to a 2-column layout.

The mobile version uses accordion sections with animated expand/collapse. Works well for SaaS products, developer tools, or any site that needs a polished dark navigation with depth.
