import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export default function AnimatedThemeTogglerStarDemo() { return ( <div className="flex justify-center p-6"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="star" /> </div> )}- Use when a theme switcher should feel expressive rather than instantaneous.
- Use for landing pages, portfolios, and polished marketing interfaces with a playful visual style.
- Use when the star-shaped reveal reinforces a brand or decorative visual language.
- Use as a minimal integration example for the AnimatedThemeToggler component.
Examples
Header theme control
Place the star transition control alongside navigation actions.
header-theme-control.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function HeaderThemeControl() { return ( <header className="flex items-center justify-end border-b px-6 py-4"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="star" /> </header> )}Settings panel
Use the toggler as a compact theme preference control.
settings-panel.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function ThemeSettings() { return ( <section className="flex items-center justify-between rounded-lg border p-4"> <span>Theme</span> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="star" /> </section> )}Centered hero action
Feature the animated theme control in a centered hero or demo section.
centered-hero-action.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function HeroThemeAction() { return ( <div className="flex min-h-48 items-center justify-center"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="star" /> </div> )}Accessibility
- This example adds no text label, aria attributes, or other accessibility behavior of its own; accessibility is provided by the AnimatedThemeToggler dependency.
- Keep the control keyboard reachable and verify that its accessible name communicates the current theme action.
- Test the animated transition with reduced-motion preferences and confirm the theme can still be changed without relying on the animation.
