Border Beam
An animated beam of light that traces the border of an element.
Create a Border Beam pattern for an AI-generated interface. It should help with an animated beam of light that traces the border of an element. Use a restrained black, white, and gray visual style, strong hierarchy, and product-grade spacing. The interaction should feel polished, practical, and easy to scan.
Do not make the border beam flashy, noisy, over-animated, or decorative for its own sake. Avoid random glow, heavy gradients, excessive borders, oversized type, unclear hierarchy, and generic SaaS filler.
