Every Shader Lab page is a single preset of one effect, rendered live by the shared Velocity shader runtime — GLSL fragment shaders for the WebGL set, character rendering for the ASCII set. Compare the presets, pick the one that suits the page, then put it behind real content with the ShaderBackground wrapper, which adds a theme-aware legibility scrim so your copy stays readable over the motion.
