Abstract Background

Abstract background engine in action

The abstract background engine warps images into animated patterns. There are two styles currently available: wave1 and wave2.

If you don’t include a src property, a random background will be chosen from the built-in presets each time the content is loaded.

  type: wave1
abstract-background:
  src: /content/backgrounds/my-preset.json
  type: wave2
