Hero Background Effects New
Overview
For most websites, a visually stunning homepage hero section can more easily attract users to stay. However, achieving visual appeal often requires complex technical effort and a touch of creative inspiration.
The theme comes with a series of visually impressive background effects built into the Hero section of the homepage, which can be easily applied to your site through simple configuration:
---
pageLayout: home
home: true
config:
-
type: hero
full: true
effect: tint-plate
effectConfig:
key: value
---Only when type: hero is set will the theme apply the effect specified in effect.
The effect property supports the following values:
The effectConfig should be configured according to the selected effect. In most cases, you don’t need to configure it—the theme will automatically apply preset configurations.
Note
The built-in effects are based on the excellent open-source project vue-bits, whose code has been adapted and integrated into the theme under the MIT license.
Force Dark Mode
Most background effects perform better in dark mode, so it is recommended to enable dark mode for the best experience.
However, for documentation pages, you may prefer light mode. Therefore, the theme provides a forceDark option in the hero section, which forces the homepage into dark mode without affecting the color mode of other pages.

---Dynamic Background Effects
Important
Some effects may depend on three, gsap, or ogl. You need to manually install the corresponding dependencies based on the effect you choose.
The theme loads these effects on-demand, so there is no need to worry about increasing the final bundle size.

config:
-
type: hero
full: true
effect: tint-plate
---Configuration
effectConfig is used to configure RGB values:
- When configured as a single value, it sets the same value for red, green, and blue channels (range: 0–255). Example:
210. - When configured as three values, it sets different values for red, green, and blue channels (range: 0–255). Example:
210,210,210. - When configured as
TintPlate, it allows more flexible control over each color value and its corresponding offset. - It can also be configured as
{ light: TintPlate, dark: TintPlate }to use different color values in light mode and dark mode.
interface TintPlate {
r: { value: number, offset: number } // value is the color value, offset is the offset
g: { value: number, offset: number }
b: { value: number, offset: number }
}Example：

---Info
To help users easily configure visually appealing and personalized backgrounds, the theme also provides a Homepage Hero Tint Plate Configuration Tool. You can use this tool for visual configuration and generate configuration content that can be directly copied into your own project.

---Configuration
Strength multiplier applied to mouse / touch movement when injecting velocity.
Radius (in pixels at base resolution) of the force brush.
Toggle iterative viscosity solve (smoother, thicker motion when enabled).
Viscosity coefficient used when isViscous is true.
Number of Gauss-Seidel iterations for viscosity (higher = smoother, slower).
Number of pressure Poisson iterations to enforce incompressibility.
Fixed simulation timestep used inside the advection / diffusion passes.
Enable BFECC advection (error-compensated) for crisper flow; disable for slight performance gain.
Simulation texture scale relative to canvas size (lower = better performance, more blur).
If true, shows bounce boundaries (velocity clamped at edges).
Array of hex color stops used to build the velocity-to-color palette.
Enable idle auto-driving of the pointer when no user interaction.
Speed (normalized units/sec) for auto pointer motion.
Multiplier applied to velocity delta while in auto mode.
Seconds to interpolate from auto pointer to real cursor when user moves mouse.
Milliseconds of inactivity before auto mode resumes.
Seconds to ramp auto movement speed from 0 to full after activation.
