Examples
Header theme control
Place the triangle toggler at the end of a site header.
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 p-4"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="triangle" /> </header> )}Settings panel
Use the toggler alongside other appearance settings.
settings-panel.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export 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 themes.</p> </div> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="triangle" /> </section> )}Centered showcase
Show the component in a centered card or component preview.
centered-showcase.tsx
import { AnimatedThemeToggler } from "@/registry/magicui/animated-theme-toggler"export function ThemeTogglerShowcase() { return ( <div className="flex min-h-40 items-center justify-center rounded-xl border bg-background p-8"> <AnimatedThemeToggler variant="triangle" /> </div> )}Accessibility
- The theme toggler is an interactive control and should remain keyboard reachable with a visible focus indicator.
- Ensure the rendered control has an accessible name that communicates its theme-switching action; the dependency component supplies the control implementation.
- The triangle animation is decorative motion and should not be the only indication of the theme change.
- Respect the application’s reduced-motion preferences when configuring or extending the transition.
