## Description

ThreeFS Fluid Hero enhances the WordPress Cover block: choose one background image,
add one H1 and select the “ThreeFS Fluid” style. The Cover block keeps control of
height and responsive layout. There is no trial period or time-based limitation.

WebGL is progressively enhanced on fine-pointer devices. Touch devices, reduced-
motion users, unsupported browsers and failed image loads keep the static Hero design.

Existing blocks and classic-theme Hero elements can opt in by adding the `threefs-
fluid-target` CSS class.

Classic themes can use the shortcode below or the `threefs_fluid_hero()` PHP template
function.

    ```
    [threefs_fluid_hero image_id="123" heading="A fluid first impression" id="top"]
    ```

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   ThreeFS Fluid Hero 背景画像とH1に、ポインターへ反応する流体表現を追加します。

## Installation

 1. Upload the `threefs-fluid-hero` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate ThreeFS Fluid Hero.
 3. In the block inserter, search for “ThreeFS Fluid Hero” and add it to the top of
    the page.
 4. Choose a background image, enter the H1, then adjust strength and accent color 
    in the sidebar.

## FAQ

### Do I need any coding knowledge to use this?

No. Add the block, choose an image, type your heading, and adjust the strength/color
sliders in the block settings sidebar. No shortcodes or code editing are required
for the block editor workflow.

### Which block does this extend?

The core WordPress Cover block. You are not learning a new block — you are choosing
an extra style (“ThreeFS Fluid”) on the block you already know, so height, alignment
and responsive behavior still follow the Cover block’s own settings.

### Does it still work if a visitor’s browser doesn’t support WebGL?

Yes. When WebGL, a fine (mouse-like) pointer, or the visitor’s system doesn’t support
it, they simply see the static Hero — background image, overlay and heading — with
no animation. Nothing breaks, and no separate fallback image is required beyond 
the one you already chose.

### Will this slow down my site?

The fluid effect only loads on devices with a fine pointer that support WebGL, and
only on pages where the block is actually present. Touch devices and visitors with“
reduce motion” enabled never load the effect scripts at all.

### Does it respect accessibility settings?

Yes. Visitors with “reduce motion” enabled in their operating system automatically
get the static version. The heading stays as real, readable HTML — not an image 
or canvas text — so it works normally with screen readers and search engines.

### Can I use it outside the block editor (classic theme, page builder, etc.)?

Yes. Use the `[threefs_fluid_hero]` shortcode, or call the `threefs_fluid_hero()`
PHP function from a classic theme template. Both accept the same options (image,
heading, color, strength, direction) as the block.

    ```
    [threefs_fluid_hero image_id="123" heading="A fluid first impression" id="top"]
    ```

### Can I apply the effect to a Hero I already built?

Yes. Add the `threefs-fluid-target` CSS class to an existing Cover block (or a compatible
element) via the block’s Advanced panel, and it will pick up the same fluid effect
without rebuilding the block.

### Is there a trial period or a feature locked behind a paid upgrade?

No. Every option described above is included, with no time limit and no watermark.

## Changelog

#### 0.7.0

 * Fix the WebGL title texture ignoring the H1’s own text alignment (it always drew
   from the left edge) and letter-spacing.
 * Add a curated, no-webfont-to-load font picker for the “ThreeFS Fluid” Cover heading,
   with a live preview both in the sidebar and on the canvas.
 * Keep the heading inside a “ThreeFS Fluid” Cover locked to Heading level 1, since
   the WebGL effect requires a real H1.

#### 0.6.1

 * Fix the WebGL title texture ignoring the H1 text color set in the block editor
   and always rendering it white.

#### 0.6.0

 * Add button presets for left-to-right, right-to-left and pointer-only motion.
 * Save the selected motion on Cover blocks and legacy integrations.

#### 0.5.0

 * Add the optional “ThreeFS Hero Page” template for a full-width Hero without a
   duplicated theme page title.
 * Keep the layout opt-in so existing pages and theme templates are never changed
   automatically.

#### 0.4.0

 * Add a direct “ThreeFS Fluid Hero” entry to the block inserter.
 * Remove the pattern-first workflow so users can edit a normal Cover block immediately.
 * Keep existing inserted patterns and legacy blocks compatible.

#### 0.3.0

 * Add a ready-to-edit ThreeFS Fluid Hero block pattern.
 * Warn in the editor when a styled Cover is missing its image or H1.
 * Apply saved strength and accent color on the server-rendered Cover markup.
 * Keep the original Fluid Hero block fully compatible for existing content.

#### 0.2.0

 * Add the ThreeFS Fluid style for Cover blocks.
 * Let Cover blocks and themes control responsive Hero height.
 * Keep the original Fluid Hero block only for backwards compatibility.

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial Gutenberg block release.
