8.12.2020
As websites are becoming more and more dynamic when it comes to design, there is sometimes a need to incorporate complex, animated elements. There are many ways to do that from CSS transitions to 3D rendering on canvas, and animated SVG. But it is often easier to use a <video> since they...

A Complete Guide to CSS Gradients

17.11.2020
Like how you can use the background-color property in CSS to declare a solid color background, you can use the background-image property not only to declare image files as backgrounds but gradients as well. Using CSS gradients is better for control and performance than using an actual image (of...

CSS Background Patterns

17.11.2020
Nice little tool from Jim Raptis: CSS Background Patterns. A bunch of easy-to-customize and copy-and-paste backgrounds that use hard stop CSS gradients to make classy patterns. Not quite as flexible as SVG backgrounds, but just as lightweight. Like this: CodePen Embed Fallback Speaking of cool...

Netlify Background Functions

10.11.2020
As quickly as I can: AWS Lambda is great: it allows you to run server-side code without really running a server. This is what “serverless” largely means. Netlify Functions run on AWS Lambda and make them way easier to use. For example, you just chuck some scripts into a folder they...

Working with JavaScript Media Queries

7.9.2020
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of media queries? Maybe something in a CSS file that looks like this: body {   background-color: plum; } 
 @media (min-width: 768px) {   body {     background-color: tomato;   } } CSS media queries are a core ingredient in any responsive...

Excluding Emojis From Transparent Text Clipping

2.9.2020
CSS-Tricks has this pretty cool way of styling hovered links. By default, the text is a fairly common blue. But hover of the links, and they’re filled with a linear gradient. 😍 Pretty neat, right? And the trick isn’t all that complicated. On hover… give the link a linear...

zerodivs.com

10.8.2020
Pretty neat little website from Joan Perals, inspired by stuff like Lynn’s A Single Div. With multiple hard-stop background-image gradients, you don’t need extra HTML elements to draw shapes — you can draw as many shapes as you want on a single element. There is even a stacking order...

Nailing the Perfect Contrast Between Light Text and a Background Image

7.8.2020
Have you ever come across a site where light text is sitting on a light background image? If you have, you’ll know how difficult that is to read. A popular way to avoid that is to use a transparent overlay. But this leads to an important question: Just how transparent should that overlay...

More Control Over CSS Borders With background-image

7.8.2020
You can make a typical CSS border dashed or dotted. For example: .box { border: 1px dashed black; border: 3px dotted red; } You don’t have all that much control over how big or long the dashes or gaps are. And you certainly can’t give the dashes slants, fading, or animation!...

Lots of fun with gradients from Bennet Feely: stars, stripes, banners, bursts… I love being able to use nice patterns with either no image requests at all, or very little SVG. And important reminder: Bennet does all sorts of cool stuff. I’ve probably used Clippy about a million times....

Fluid Images in a Variable Proportion Layout

3.7.2020
Creating fluid images when they stand alone in a layout is easy enough nowadays. However, with more sophisticated interfaces we often have to place images inside responsive elements, like this card: For now, let’s say this image is not semantic content, but only decoration. That’s...

How-to guide for creating edge-to-edge color bars that work with a grid

1.7.2020
Hard-stop gradients are one of my favorite CSS tricks. Here, Marcel Moreau combines that idea with CSS grid to solve an issue that’s otherwise a pain in the butt. Say you have like a 300px right sidebar on a desktop layout with a unique background color. Easy enough. But then say you want...

A Complete Guide to Dark Mode on the Web

1.7.2020
“Dark mode” is defined as a color scheme that uses light-colored text and other UI elements on a dark-colored background. Dark mode, dark theme, black mode, night mode… they all refer to and mean the same thing: a mostly-dark interface rather than a mostly-light interface. The post A Complete...

CSS background-repeat: round

23.6.2020
The CSS spec is full of gems that sneak their way past most of us web designers and developers. Stuff like :focus-within, prefers-reduced-motion, and prefers-color-scheme suddenly make their way into CSS without us really finding out for months or years. One such example is background-repeat:...

I remember searching for tutorials for making seamless patterns in Photoshop¹ all the time back in the day. It’s fun to see this little website for building repeating patterns as its one job. It does everything you’d expect: pick a background, drag some decorations onto it and position...

Creative Background Patterns Using Gradients, CSS Shapes, and Even Emojis

10.6.2020
You can create stripes in CSS. That’s all I thought about in terms of CSS background patterns for a long time. There’s nothing wrong with stripes; stripes are cool. They can be customized into wide and narrow bands, criss-crossed into a checked pattern, and played with in other ways using the idea...
