To create dynamic animations, CSS keyframe animations can be utilized.
.box {
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
animation: animationFrames 5s infinite;
}
@keyframes animationFrames{
0% {
background-color: blue;
}
15% {
background-color: red;
}
30% {
background-color: orange;
}
45% {
background-color: purple;
}
60% {
background-color: green;
}
75% {
background-color: pink;
}
100% {
background-color: black;
}
}
<div class="box"></div>
The .box
class is defined with the usage of the animation
property, linking it to an animation keyframe called animationFrames
. The duration of the animation and the repetition are specified within this property. Each keyframe within animationFrames
sets different styles at specific percentages of the animation timeline.

In regards to a specific example, the provided code snippet should display an animated chat window (I've added a height property for visualization).
.chat-window {
float: right;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666;
background: white;
padding-left: 10px;
animation: animationFrames 2s infinite;
height: 500px;
}
@keyframes animationFrames{
50% {
background-color: orange;
}
}
<div class="chat-window"></div>
