8-bit Pixel Art Patterns

Create authentic pixelated borders and shadows using absolute-positioned divs. These patterns are essential for the retro aesthetic of 8-bit components.

Pixelated Border Pattern

Use 9 div elements to create a pixelated border effect:

<div className="relative">
  <ShadcnButton {...props} className="rounded-none" />

  {/* Corner pixels */}
  <div className="absolute top-0 left-0 size-1.5 bg-foreground" />
  <div className="absolute top-0 right-0 size-1.5 bg-foreground" />
  <div className="absolute bottom-0 left-0 size-1.5 bg-foreground" />
  <div className="absolute bottom-0 right-0 size-1.5 bg-foreground" />

  {/* Edge segments */}
