Attributes

Every value below is implemented by the stylesheets this component ships. Boolean attributes are presence-based: author the attribute with no value, or omit it.

Attribute	Values	Default	Description
data-ui-orientation	horizontal · vertical	horizontal	Layout direction of the grouped controls.
data-ui-density	compact · normal · spacious	normal	Gap between grouped controls.
data-ui-wrap	presence	absent	Present to let the group wrap onto multiple lines.
data-ui-attached	presence	absent	Present to collapse the gap and join adjacent controls into one segmented control.

Styling

Root identity: ui-group. Required stylesheets: tokens.css, core/group.css, core/button.css, themes/atmosphere/tokens.css, themes/atmosphere/button.css, themes/atmosphere/group.css.

This component adds no custom properties of its own. Restyle it through the design tokens or your own CSS.

Design tokens this component reads (23)

These are global Atmosphere tokens. Change them once at the theme level rather than per component.

--ui-accent · --ui-bg-accent · --ui-bg-accent-active · --ui-bg-accent-hover · --ui-bg-control · --ui-bg-control-active · --ui-bg-control-hover · --ui-bg-control-muted · --ui-bg-danger · --ui-bg-danger-active · --ui-bg-danger-hover · --ui-duration-fast · --ui-ease-standard · --ui-fg · --ui-focus · --ui-radius-control · --ui-shadow-control-accent · --ui-shadow-control-active · --ui-shadow-control-danger · --ui-shadow-outline-control · --ui-space-1 · --ui-space-2 · --ui-space-4

Accessibility

Keep the native elements, roles, and relationships shown in the example. Timeless adds only the state and keyboard coordination the platform does not already provide, and it never supplies your accessible names — those depend on your content.

This component declares no keyboard contract, because it has none of its own: the markup above is native elements and native ARIA, and everything a keyboard or a screen reader does with it comes from the platform. Nothing here manages focus, and nothing here adds a role you did not author. So the accessibility of this component is the accessibility of the markup — which is why the markup is the part worth copying exactly.

Before JavaScript runs

This primitive is CSS only. There is nothing to register and nothing to wait for.
