IO Context

Where IO uses this

Card backgrounds and section dividers across IO pages.

Why this component matters

Earn every pixel. A gradient that shifts subtly creates perceived depth and polish without adding visual weight.

Usage guidance

Best used as a card background or contained section. Avoid covering the entire viewport — constrain it to draw the eye to a specific area.

Installation

bash
npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/background-gradient
