How this works

A layered banner combines two radial-gradients over a base and animates its background-position so light slowly drifts across the top. The avatar overlaps the banner using a negative top margin and a thick border matched to the card body, the standard Discord-style cut-out.

Role chips derive their fill, text and border from a single per-chip --c variable via color-mix(), so one hue drives three tints. The presence dot pulses with a low-cost opacity keyframe, and every surface uses elevated greys rather than pure black for an OLED-friendly dark-first look.

Make it yours

  • Recolour any role by editing its inline --c value — fill, text and border all follow.
  • Change the banner mood via the two radial-gradient colours and the pc-09-drift speed.
  • Resize the avatar cut-out by matching its negative margin-top to its border width.
  • Swap the presence state by editing the .pc-09__presence colour (e.g. amber for idle).

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The avatar border must match the card body colour exactly or the cut-out looks misaligned.
  • color-mix() for the chips needs Chrome 111+/Safari 16.2+; older engines fall back to the raw --c with no tint.
  • Animating background-position is cheap, but avoid animating the gradient's colour stops, which forces repaints.

color-mix() gates the role-chip tints; banner and layout work everywhere modern.
