Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @magicui/animated-theme-toggler-hexagon-demo

Usage

usage.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function AnimatedThemeTogglerHexagonDemo() {  return (    <div className="flex justify-center p-6">      <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="hexagon" />    </div>  )}
  • Use to preview the hexagon variant of the animated theme toggler.
  • Use in theme-switching controls where a geometric transition fits the visual language.
  • Use as a minimal centered example when testing the Magic UI theme animation.
  • Use as a starting point before placing the toggler in a header, toolbar, or settings panel.

Examples

Centered hexagon theme toggler

The registry example with the toggler centered in a padded container.

centered-hexagon-theme-toggler.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function ThemeToggleExample() {  return (    <div className="flex justify-center p-6">      <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="hexagon" />    </div>  )}

Header theme control

Place the same variant in a navigation header.

header-theme-control.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function HeaderThemeToggle() {  return (    <header className="flex items-center justify-between border-b px-6 py-4">      <span className="font-semibold">Acme</span>      <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="hexagon" />    </header>  )}

Settings panel theme control

Use the toggler as a compact control in a settings section.

settings-panel-theme-control.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function AppearanceSettings() {  return (    <section className="flex items-center justify-between rounded-lg border p-4">      <div>        <h2 className="font-medium">Appearance</h2>        <p className="text-muted-foreground text-sm">Switch between light and dark mode.</p>      </div>      <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="hexagon" />    </section>  )}

Accessibility

  • The demo wrapper does not add any accessibility attributes or labeling.
  • The underlying AnimatedThemeToggler should expose an accessible button name that communicates its theme-switching action; provide or verify a visible label or accessible name in the dependency implementation.
  • Do not rely on the hexagon animation alone to communicate the state change; the control should remain usable with keyboard focus and non-visual interaction.
  • Respect the application’s reduced-motion preferences if the underlying animated theme toggler supports them.
