Rise
The next appearance rises into place.
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @uiarc/theme-switch-riseTry the transition
- Product chrome and dashboards where the theme change should be calm.
- Icon-only toggles in a top bar, as the library's own header uses it.
- Use theme-switch-eclipse for a dramatic change on a showcase page.
- Use user-menu when theme belongs with account settings.
Installation
Add Rise with the shadcn CLI, or copy the source by hand.
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @uiarc/theme-switch-riseAdds the component and its local dependencies, and installs motion, lucide-react. First time? Add the @uiarc registry to components.json, or use the full URL:
example.tsx
import { ThemeSwitch } from "@/registry/components/theme-switch/theme-switch"; <ThemeSwitch theme={theme} variant="rise" iconOnly onThemeChange={(next, variant, trigger) => runThemeTransition(next, variant, trigger)}/>Examples
3 more in theme. Each has its own page with install and API details.
ThemeSwitch
A secondary Button that swaps a sun and moon icon and reports the next theme. The page transition itself is yours to run.
PropTypeDefaultDescription
themeRequired"light" | "dark"–The current theme. Drives the icon and aria-pressed.onThemeChangeRequired(next: Theme, variant: ThemeSwitchVariant, trigger: HTMLElement) => void–Called on press with the opposite theme, the variant, and the button, so the page transition can start from it.variant"reveal" | "eclipse" | "split" | "rise""reveal"Names the page transition and sets the small icon nudge that matches it.labelstring–Accessible name. Defaults to "Switch to dark mode" or "Switch to light mode".iconOnlybooleanfalseHides the "Switch theme" text and renders a 38px square button.- EnterorSpace
- Toggles the theme.
- Same button as theme-switch: aria-pressed reflects dark mode and the label names the next theme.
- Keep the rise off for reduced motion and swap the theme directly.
- variant="rise": the next appearance rises into place from the bottom; run it in onThemeChange with a view transition.
- The icon lifts 2px in dark mode.
- Reduced motion removes the nudge and swaps the icon with a fade.
- The labelled button fits a desktop top bar; pass iconOnly for a fixed 38px square on narrow headers and mobile.
- Hover styles apply only on hover-capable fine pointers, so touch taps do not leave a stuck hover state.
- The button itself is tiny: one icon swap on a spring, and the first theme after hydration applies without animating.
- The page transition is yours; a full-page view transition snapshots the whole document, so keep it short and skip it for reduced motion.
Notes for AI
Give your coding assistant the Markdown reference instead of screenshots.
- Select with variant="rise". The prop only styles the icon nudge and is passed back to onThemeChange; the page animation is your code.
- The calmest of the four; the library's own top bar uses it with iconOnly.
