About This Background

An adaptive ambient visual experience

How It Works

The background is a multi-layer WebGL rendering system that transforms live treasury data into ambient visuals:

  • Gradient Layer — Smooth color transitions reflecting portfolio sentiment
  • Grid Layer — Flowing perspective grid with parallax and breathing effects
  • Particle Field — WebGL particle system with orbital physics and mouse interaction

Performance Tiers

The system automatically detects your device capabilities and scales accordingly:

TierParticlesTriggered By
High15,0008+ CPU cores, desktop
Medium8,0004+ CPU cores
Low4,000Mobile, small screens, reduced motion

Zen Mode

Hide the dashboard interface and enjoy the background as a pure ambient display:

Shift+Z

Perfect for a second monitor or a relaxing screensaver.

Lab Mode (Max Specs)

For high-performance machines, Lab Mode unlocks the full visual potential:

  • Up to 30,000 particles
  • 3 depth layers with orbital physics
  • Shockwave effects on significant price movements
  • Full mouse interaction with particle attraction
  • Debug overlay with live FPS and intensity info

Toggle Lab Mode with:

Shift+L

Warning: May impact performance on lower-end devices.

Accessibility

The background respects your system's prefers-reduced-motion setting. If you have motion sensitivity enabled, animations will be minimized or disabled automatically.
