# Floating UI > "Defying gravity. Elements that hover effortlessly above the surface." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Detachment**: UI elements (like nav bars, sidebars, or main content cards) do not touch the edges of the screen. They float with margins on all sides. 2. **Soft, Diffuse Shadows**: Large, highly blurred shadows directly beneath elements. 3. **Pill Shapes & Rounds**: Fully rounded corners (pill shapes) enhance the floating, bubble-like aesthetic. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: **Earth-Grounded Elegance** or **Minimalist Slate**. Use a slightly tinted background (off-white or very light gray) so the floating white elements pop. - **Typography**: Clean, airy sans-serifs with generous line height. - **Layout**: The "floating island" pattern for navigation (a pill-shaped nav bar centered at the bottom or top of the screen). ## Web Implementation - Focus on large margins and specific shadow styles. - **CSS Example**: ```css body { background-color: var(--bg-primary); /* e.g., #F4F4F9 */ padding

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill floating-ui --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
