Dot, sticky
Dot, sticky is a Breadcrumbs block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame.
Best for
Long articles and docs, where the header trail scrolls away
Anatomy
The full trail in the header · a compact pill takes its place at the top while the header is out of view: the first level, the one before the last and the page · hover or focus grows it into the whole trail · the compact trail is inert while hidden, so one landmark is in the tab order at a time
Spacing
Spacing is built from one 4px step. Every gap, inset and margin in the library is a multiple of it, so components line up on the same rhythm wherever they sit.
The scale
Twelve steps cover everything from the 2px gap inside a tag to the 96px section padding on marketing pages. The first six steps do almost all of the work in product UI.
Use the smaller steps inside controls and the larger ones between groups. When two values both look right, pick the smaller one and let whitespace come from the layout.
Density
Compact and comfortable densities move every step down or up one notch, so a table and its toolbar change together and never drift apart.
Density is set once per surface, not per component, which keeps a page from mixing tight rows with loose ones.
Insets
A card’s inset is a multiple of the base step, and anything nested inside it takes the outer radius less that inset, so corners stay concentric.
Hover never changes spacing or adds a shadow; it tints the surface and nothing moves.

When to use it
Where Breadcrumbs earns its place
Reach for Breadcrumbs
- Content sits more than two levels deep and people arrive mid-tree from search
- A file or asset browser where each parent is a real place you can open
- Settings panels nested under sections, where the page heading alone does not say which section owns them
- You need a way back up that costs one line instead of a sidebar
Reach for something else
- A flat site with one level of sections: the trail only repeats the nav, so let the nav's own active state do it
- A linear process like a checkout or an application: a step indicator shows progress and what remains, which ancestry cannot
- The trail would be the only navigation on the page: breadcrumbs supplement a nav rather than replace one

- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Questions about Dot, sticky.
What is the Dot, sticky block?
Dot, sticky is a Breadcrumbs block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame. Best for long articles and docs, where the header trail scrolls away.
What is the Dot, sticky block made of?
4 parts: the full trail in the header; a compact pill takes its place at the top while the header is out of view: the first level, the one before the last and the page; hover or focus grows it into the whole trail; and the compact trail is inert while hidden, so one landmark is in the tab order at a time. Keep them all, or drop the ones your product does not need; the rest of the block holds together without them.
Is the Dot, sticky block responsive?
Yes. It is drawn at 620px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.
Is the Dot, sticky block accessible?
It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.
How do I add the Dot, sticky block to my project?
It is part of every Orvain Library plan: the React and Vue code, its frame in the Orvain Figma file, and the Orvain MCP server. With the MCP connected, an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or v0 can build it from one line: “Add the Orvain Dot, sticky block to this page.”
When should I not use a Breadcrumbs block?
A flat site with one level of sections: the trail only repeats the nav, so let the nav's own active state do it.
