How do I install Lines Gradient Shader?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/lines-gradient-shader 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 Lines Gradient Shader 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?

Lines Gradient Shader 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.

The shader renders to an HTML canvas using requestAnimationFrame for smooth 60fps animation. Bands flow across the screen with wave-like motion, each colored from a gradient palette that can be customized via props.

Configurable properties include band count, spacing, thickness, wave amplitude, and animation speed. The canvas handles device pixel ratio for crisp rendering on high-DPI displays. A ResizeObserver keeps the canvas sized correctly.

The component pauses animation when the browser tab is hidden (using visibility change event) and resumes when visible. This saves resources when users switch tabs.

Works well as a hero section background, landing page hero, or anywhere you need a dynamic, colorful background that adds visual interest without distracting from content.
