Accessibility & interaction

Preserve semantic structure and communicate meaning with text rather than color alone.

Visible focus, reduced motion, and both color themes are shared across staqui. Choose labels and document structure that make sense in your application; automated checks do not replace assistive-technology testing.

Variants & implementation notes

Native img supports srcSet, sizes, loading and error handlers. Applications own image assets and fallback policy.

Use the typed API above for the supported variants. The example demonstrates the primary composition; shared controls inherit hover, focus, active and disabled treatment where applicable.
