Busy

A fine grid turned through forty-five degrees, two accent lights under it.

“Copy the hero” is the styles and the SVG, carrying the colours and speed you set above. “Copy as a section” adds the wrapper a hero actually needs: the SVG absolute behind the copy, inert to the pointer, and a scrim so the heading holds. The Free licence asks for one visible credit per page: Animation by Pulsar, linked to Pulsar. Licence

Tech: CSS, no JavaScript
Longest band: 19 s, mirrored, loops
Canvas: 1600 by 900, crops to fill
Default tone: Light ground: ground #f7f7fb, ink #1d1b3a
Series: lattice
Tags: grid lines diagonal

The four variables

Set any of these on the section, or on any ancestor, and the hero follows. Nothing else in the file needs editing.

--pulsar-hero-bg: the ground, default #f7f7fb
--pulsar-hero-ink: the strokes, default #1d1b3a
--pulsar-accent: the accented strokes
--pulsar-hero-speed: a rate: 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 half speed
