Usage and properties

Enable the blinc_layout media feature for audio, video and waveform widgets.

Use the installation guide to create a Blinc application. This widget is available from blinc_layout; the demo uses the same Hybrid theme as the component library. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.

Keyboard and interaction

This preview displays content without a keyboard action.

Customizing it

Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:

  • .blinc-waveform

Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.

Built-in themes

The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.

pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
    match name {
        "restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
        "expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
        _ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
    }
    .with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}

Download the default widget and component stylesheets. Sample assets and licenses are available in the asset guide.

Documentation

From the canonical component guide.

Standalone amplitude visualization:

use blinc::layout::widgets::media::waveform;

waveform(buckets)
    .progress(0.5)
    .played_color(Color::BLUE)
    .unplayed_color(Color::GRAY)
    .w_full().h(60.0)
    .into_div()

Platforms and version

The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.

Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
