# Pixel Trail

> You can customize the individual pixels by passing a pixelClassName prop.  1. The component operates by dividing the container into a grid of pixels and dynamically recoloring them as you move your cursor. Each pixel is represented by a single div element, so perf may be impacted when using a large number of pixels, especially on the first render.  2. Keep the z-index of the effect's container lower than the rest of your content, so the pointer-events will captured by all of your other elements.
