Uilora Dither
A smooth fluid brightness simulation passed through an 8x8 Bayer matrix for ordered dithering, creating a sharp pixel-art look.
Props
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| color1 | string | #000000 | Background (Dark) |
| color2 | string | #ffffff | Foreground (Dots) |
| speed | number | 1.0 | Flow speed |
| blockSize | number | 2.0 | Pixel size (higher for chunkier) |
| intensity | number | 1.0 | Contrast of the dithering |
When to Use
Excellent for retro-themed sites, lo-fi aesthetic brands, or any project that wants a high-contrast, pixelated texture.
Best Practices
Adjust the `blockSize` to match your site's overall 'resolution'. A block size of 2.0 or 4.0 creates a great 'GameBoy' or 'Macintosh' dither feel.
Why This Component Matters
Dithering is a classic technique for simulating gradients with limited colors. Using a full 8x8 Bayer matrix in a shader allows for real-time high-performance dithering that looks infinitely more 'authentic' than simple CSS patterns.
FAQ
QDoes it look good in color?
Absolutely. Try using deep Blue/Cyan or Green/Black for a 'Cyberpunk Matrix' or 'Terminal' aesthetic.
QHow small can the blocks be?
Set `blockSize` to 1.0 for the finest possible dithering, but usually 2.0+ is better for the dithered 'texture' to be visible.
QIs it interactive?
Yes, the underlying fluid simulation reacts to the mouse, which in turn shifts the dither pattern dynamically.
