/* =========================================================================== BLIGHT LIGHT — motion & effects --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading screen, custom cursor, parallax hero, animated buttons, surface textures and the scroll-reveal system. Two rules this file follows throughout: 1. Content is visible by default. Reveals are an enhancement applied by JS adding .motion to . If JS never runs, or the tab is hidden, or a crawler renders the page, everything is still there. Never gate content on a transition firing. 2. Every animation has a reduced-motion answer at the bottom of the file. =========================================================================== */ /* ------------------------------------------------------------ layer scale */ /* Semantic, so nothing ever needs to guess at 9999. */ :root { --z-base: 0; --z-texture: 1; --z-raised: 10; --z-sticky: 20; --z-nav: 30; --z-backdrop: 40; --z-modal: 50; --z-cursor: 60; --z-loader: 70; --ease-out-quart: cubic-bezier(.25, 1, .5, 1); --ease-out-expo: cubic-bezier(.16, 1, .3, 1); --dur-fast: .18s; --dur-mid: .34s; --dur-slow: .62s; } /* =========================================================== loading screen */ .loader { position: fixed; inset: 0; z-index: var(--z-loader); display: grid; place-content: center; gap: 26px; background: var(--bg); transition: opacity .5s var(--ease-out-quart), visibility .5s; } .loader[hidden] { display: none; } .loader.done { opacity: 0; visibility: hidden; pointer-events: none; } .loader-mark { width: 74px; height: 74px; margin: 0 auto; animation: loader-spin 2.6s linear infinite; } .loader-mark circle { fill: var(--acid); transform-origin: center; } .loader-mark circle:nth-child(1) { animation: loader-pulse 1.5s var(--ease-out-quart) infinite; } .loader-mark circle:nth-child(2) { animation: loader-pulse 1.5s var(--ease-out-quart) .18s infinite; } .loader-mark circle:nth-child(3) { animation: loader-pulse 1.5s var(--ease-out-quart) .36s infinite; } .loader-mark circle:nth-child(4) { animation: loader-pulse 1.5s var(--ease-out-quart) .54s infinite; } @keyframes loader-spin { to { transform: rotate(360deg); } } @keyframes loader-pulse { 0%, 100% { opacity: .28; transform: scale(.82); } 40% { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1.06); } } .loader-bar { width: 190px; height: 2px; background: var(--line); overflow: hidden; border-radius: 2px; } .loader-bar i { display: block; height: 100%; width: 0; background: var(--acid); box-shadow: 0 0 12px var(--acid); transition: width .3s var(--ease-out-quart); } .loader-text { font-family: 'Chakra Petch', system-ui, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: .22em; text-transform: uppercase; color: var(--muted); text-align: center; } /* ============================================================ custom cursor */ /* Applied only when JS confirms a fine pointer, so touch and keyboard users keep the native cursor.
