How this works

Full synthwave: near-black canvas, animated perspective grid floor drawn via repeating-linear-gradient with a transform:perspective(400px) rotateX(60deg) tilt, and a glowing sun via layered radial-gradient + box-shadow bloom. Orbitron display font (via Google Fonts) provides the retro-computer aesthetic.

Date cells have layered text-shadow for the neon glow — one tight cyan shadow, one wider pink shadow, one very wide amber shadow — creating the classic three-colour synthwave chromatic bloom. Hover intensifies the shadows for interactive feedback.

Make it yours

  • Rebrand neon hues from --neon-a, --neon-b, --neon-c variables.
  • Tune grid floor speed via the @keyframes translateY duration.
  • Adjust bloom intensity via the number of stacked text-shadows (each additional shadow is another glow layer).
  • Change the sun's colour and size via the layered radial-gradient stops.
  • For dark-mode default reversal (light background), invert the palette — the whole aesthetic breaks.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Stacked text-shadows compound cost — cap at 3-4 shadow layers per element for smooth mobile rendering.
  • Grid floor animation can trigger vestibular symptoms — wrap in @media (prefers-reduced-motion:reduce).
  • Orbitron font must self-host or use Google Fonts with proper font-display:swap.
  • The aesthetic is heavily culturally-coded (gaming / cyberpunk / synthwave nostalgia) — use only where it aligns with brand.
  • Ensure text contrast — neon-on-black can drop below 4.5:1 for accent hues like magenta; test with a contrast checker.

Layered text-shadows, gradients, and CSS transforms are universally supported. Web fonts via Google Fonts work in every browser.
