Examples
Centered rectangle theme toggle
The registry example with the rectangle transition variant.
centered-rectangle-theme-toggle.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function AnimatedThemeTogglerRectangleDemo() { return ( <div className="flex justify-center p-6"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="rectangle" /> </div> )}Theme toggle in a navigation bar
Places the same rectangle animation in a header layout.
theme-toggle-in-a-navigation-bar.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function SiteHeader() { return ( <header className="flex items-center justify-between border-b px-6 py-4"> <span className="font-semibold">Acme</span> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="rectangle" /> </header> )}Theme toggle in a settings panel
Uses the rectangle variant alongside a theme preference label.
theme-toggle-in-a-settings-panel.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function ThemeSetting() { return ( <div className="flex items-center justify-between rounded-lg border p-4"> <div> <p className="font-medium">Appearance</p> <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">Switch between light and dark mode</p> </div> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="rectangle" /> </div> )}Accessibility
- The example adds no custom text or accessible label; the underlying AnimatedThemeToggler must provide the button’s accessible name and theme-switching semantics.
- Keep the toggler keyboard accessible and operable with Enter and Space when integrating it into surrounding layouts.
- The rectangle animation is decorative; theme switching should remain understandable and usable when motion is reduced or unavailable.
- Maintain sufficient contrast for the toggler in both light and dark themes.
