Your brand is more than a logo. It's a feeling. The PageTheme system in slnk.me gives you granular control over that feeling.

Background Architecture

We've introduced BackgroundConfig to give you studio-level control:

  • Mesh Gradients: Don't just pick two colors. Pick up to 6 colors and control the intensity of the blend. This creates organic, flowing backdrops that look high-end.
  • Noise & Grain: Add a pattern overlay with noise to give your flat colors texture and depth. This reduces "banding" on screens and adds a tactile, editorial feel.
  • Animated Flows: Enable animated: { type: "aurora" } to have colors slowly shift and drift behind your content.

Glassmorphism 2.0

Glassmorphism is here to stay, but it needs to be done right.

  • Blur Control: Adjust the backdrop blur to ensure text remains readable.
  • Border Subtlety: A 1px semi-transparent white border adds definition to your glass cards without feeling heavy.
  • Shadows: Soft, colored shadows (using your accentColor) can make glass cards feel like they are floating in 3D space.

Typography Matters

Fonts allow you to whisper or shout.

  • Headings: Choose a display font (like "Inter Tight" or "Clash Display") for your HeadingComponent.
  • Body: Keep your TextComponent legible with a clean sans-serif.
  • Hierarchy: Use weight (bold, medium, light) to guide the eye. Your name should be Bold; your bio should be Regular.

Don't just build a page. Build a vibe.
