Frequently Asked Questions
How is the organic 'gooey' effect achieved in the Cyan Flux Liquid Loader?
The organic motion is created using an SVG filter that applies a high-contrast Color Matrix over a Gaussian Blur, causing overlapping elements to appear as though they are physically merging and separating like real liquid.
Can the gradient colors be modified for different brand identities?
Yes, the cyan-to-blue aesthetic is defined via SVG linear gradients and CSS variables, allowing for easy updates to the primary and secondary colors through the component's styling properties.
What are the performance implications of using SVG filters for this animation?
The component is optimized for modern browsers using hardware acceleration; however, developers should monitor performance on low-end devices since complex SVG filters can be computationally expensive if applied to many elements simultaneously.
Is the loader responsive across different screen sizes?
The Cyan Flux Liquid Loader uses relative SVG viewBox coordinates and CSS flexbox/grid alignment, ensuring it scales proportionally and remains centered within any container or splash screen resolution.
How do I control the frequency of the pulsating central mass?
The pulsation is driven by a CSS keyframe animation targeting the scale property; you can adjust the frequency by modifying the animation-duration value in the provided stylesheet.
