Updated: Liquid Chrome

By Steven Van ·

The React Bits background gets cursor-following reflections, click ripples, presets, a light mode and a faster renderer.

Liquid Chrome, the animated background in React Bits, has been rebuilt as soft, glossy liquid chrome. Its reflections follow the cursor.

What changed

  • The background now shows soft ribbons of liquid chrome that swirl through a dark pool and catch the light as it moves.
  • The cursor leaves a liquid wake, and a click produces ripples.
  • New presets, a light mode and a faster renderer are included.

Installing it

The component is available in JavaScript or TypeScript, with plain CSS or Tailwind. The TypeScript and Tailwind version installs with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/LiquidChrome-TS-TW. The page's interactive preview, customization controls and source tabs need JavaScript enabled.
