Floating Pill Navbar

Navbar63: Floating Pill Navbar

A navbar built as a floating, fully rounded pill "island" resting on a muted band: the wordmark, quiet links, and a pill CTA all live inside the rounded bar rather than a full-width strip. Opening the mobile menu drops a separate rounded card below the pill instead of expanding the bar itself.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/navbar63?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/navbar63?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/navbar63.tsx, the button12 component it uses for its CTA, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports navbar63Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working navbar in one line.

import { Navbar63, navbar63Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar63";

export default function Layout() {
  return <Navbar63 {...navbar63Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Navbar63 } from "@/components/beste/block/navbar63";

export default function Layout() {
  return (
    <Navbar63
      brand="Northwind"
      links={[
        { label: "Work", href: "/work" },
        { label: "Studio", href: "/studio" },
        { label: "Journal", href: "/journal" },
      ]}
      button={{ label: "Get in touch", href: "/contact" }}
    />
  );
}

Props

NavLink: { label, href }.

Behavior notes

• The <nav> itself is the rounded-full pill (rounded-full border bg-background shadow-sm) sitting inside a bg-muted padded band, not a full-width bar.
• The mobile menu is a separate rounded-md border card that appears below the pill (mt-3) rather than a panel attached to or replacing the bar.
• The mobile menu is a plain useState toggle with no outside-click or Escape handling.
• There is no dropdown or mega-menu behavior, links are single-level only.
