Inblock Smooth Blocks

Descripció

Inblock Smooth Blocks adds subtle and elegant micro-interactions to native Gutenberg blocks.

Unlike block styles, these effects are additive. You can keep existing styles (Fill, Outline, As Link, etc.) and enhance them without replacing anything.

Current features:

Button block:
• Animated icons (Arrow right , Arrow left , Arrow up , Arrow down , Arrow external )
• Hover shadow (Border, Raise)

Navigation block:
• Smooth submenu caret rotation

Group block:
• Underline reveal on links inside the group

All animations respect user accessibility preferences (prefers-reduced-motion).

Lightweight by design. No frontend JavaScript. No external dependencies.

Does this replace existing block styles?

No. All effects are additive and work alongside native styles.

Does it add frontend JavaScript?

No. The plugin uses CSS only on the frontend. Editor enhancements use lightweight WordPress APIs.

Does it respect accessibility settings?

Yes. Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting.

Does it work with custom themes?

Yes. The plugin only adds classes and CSS micro-interactions without modifying theme structure.
