Calm, full-bleed aurora wash of drifting colour fields for hero and section backdrops. Pure CSS, no canvas or JS, fixed low opacity so body text keeps AA contrast on top.
astroA static technical drafting-table grid with fine minor rules, bolder major rules every few cells, and a faint crosshair origin marker — a precise, no-motion backdrop for engineering, CAD and dev-tool pages.
astroSoft, out-of-focus circles in varied sizes and blur drifting gently behind your content, like camera bokeh behind a subject. Warm and photographic rather than geometric — a gentle backdrop for testimonials, pricing, and about pages.
