Blurred light streaks drift sideways across a dark frame behind a centered title.

What it does

Built on Aurora Background by aceternity, Aceternity License (free components). The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Dark base with blue/violet/amber light bands moving slowly; the title sits in the calmest area.

When: Open titles and end cards for AI and dev tools — the Linear-era dark aesthetic.

Watch out: Do not use it on every scene; it is a title device, not a UI background.

Timing: Cycle shortened to 8–12 s so motion reads in a 4–6 s shot.

Also called: aurora background, northern lights, light streaks
