<DitherEffect effect="retro-grid" />The synthwave floor: a perspective grid under a sunset with scanline stripes. It takes no params; palette and cell size do the styling.
The props group like this:
No params. Style it with palette, cell and matrix.
Examples
Neon
A cold palette turns the sunset into a neon signboard.
<DitherEffect effect="retro-grid" params={{}} palette={["#02060d","#0b3d80","#00b2ff","#d6efff"]} cell={2} matrix={8} speed={1} />Coarse print
Bigger cells give the grid a chunkier, poster-like grain.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
palette | string[] | the effect's | 2 to 8 colours, paper first, brightest last. transparent works. |
cell | number | 2 | Size of one dither cell in CSS pixels. Rounded to whole device pixels so cells stay even. |
matrix | 2 | 4 | 8 | "noise" | 8 | The Bayer threshold size, or noise for a random look. |
speed | number | 1 | Playback speed. 0 draws one still frame. |
stillTime | number | the effect's | The moment drawn when motion is off or reduced, in seconds. |
levels | number | 0 (all) | Tones the field snaps to before dithering. Low values give hard, posterised steps. |
bloom | number | 0 | Bloom around lit cells, 0 to 1. Set a positive prop to create the overlay before overriding it with CSS --dither-bloom. |
bloomRadius | number | 10 | Bloom blur in CSS pixels. CSS --dither-bloom-radius overrides it. |
class | string | undefined | Classes on the surface element, for size and position. |
Notes
- Decorative and
aria-hidden. Put real text on top of it, not inside it. - With reduced motion it draws one still frame at 6s and stops.
- It pauses when scrolled out of view or when the tab is hidden.
- It shares one WebGL context with every other ordered effect on the page.
