Halftone Pulse

A print-press halftone field, dot radii swell as slow waves travel the grid, and the pointer raises its own ripple. Ink-on-paper texture turned kinetic, canvas-drawn.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Halftone Pulse component?

Register the @cleverui registry in your components.json ("@cleverui": "https://cleverops.com.au/r/{name}.json"), then run `npx shadcn@latest add @cleverui/bg-halftone-pulse`. The shadcn CLI copies the source into your project, you own the code from that point. You can also copy the source directly from this page.

What dependencies does Halftone Pulse require?

Halftone Pulse has no npm dependencies beyond React and Tailwind CSS itself, so there is nothing extra to install or keep updated.

Can I theme Halftone Pulse to match my brand?

Yes. The component is styled entirely with Tailwind utilities over standard design tokens (primary, background, muted, border), so it inherits your existing shadcn/ui theme automatically. Change your CSS variables and the component follows, no source edits needed for palette, radius, or fonts.
