Are the ai2 Blur dialogs free?

Yes. The whole styled layer is free and MIT licensed, like the component core.

Can I change the size?

Yes. Every variation takes a size prop of sm, md, lg or xl, aligned to the base Button height scale.

Blur dialogs

Five modal dialogs that keep an opaque panel and vary only the backdrop: a soft blur, a heavy blur, a dark scrim, a primary tint and a top-to-bottom gradient. Each is self-contained (no radix), sized, token-driven, and closes on backdrop click or Escape.

DialogBlur

Installation

The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.

Run the following command

npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/dialog-blur

Dependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

Install dependencies

npm install motion lucide-react

/* Blur dialog family: 5 decorative modals. The panel always stays CLEAR/opaque

   BACKDROP: each variant carries a different blur/scrim technique (light blur,
   strong blur, dark scrim, primary tint, a top-to-bottom gradient). Each export is a
   complete dialog: internal open/closed state (uncontrolled defaultOpen or
   controlled open/onOpenChange), NO radix or portal - a self-contained fixed
   backdrop + fixed panel. It closes on a backdrop click, Escape or the close button.
   The panel takes focus on open. AnimatePresence handles enter/exit; no transform

Manual installs skip the @ai2/tokens theme, so add the token CSS from the theming guide or the tone colors will be missing.

Variations

5 takes on the same idea. Each is its own export, and every one accepts a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button scale.

Soft

A light backdrop-blur with a low scrim.

Heavy

A strong backdrop-blur that fully diffuses the page.

Dark

A dark scrim with a medium blur.

Tint

A primary-tinted translucent scrim with blur.

Gradient

A top-to-bottom gradient scrim with blur.

ai2 Blur dialogs: 5 styled variations on the token system

The ai2 Blur dialogs are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around modal dialogs with an opaque panel and a blurred backdrop. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.

Motion runs on framer-motion: framer-motion animates the enter and exit; the backdrop fades. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the transforms are skipped and the dialog fades or shows instantly.

What is in the ai2 Blur dialogs?

5 exports in one file: Soft, Heavy, Dark, Tint and Gradient. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.

You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.

Why use it

On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Features

Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
framer-motion: framer-motion animates the enter and exit; the backdrop fades.
Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the transforms are skipped and the dialog fades or shows instantly.
Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.

Production tips

Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.

Works with the rest of ai2

The Blur dialogs sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
