Angled Shapes and Diagonal Lines
To create this effect, "even" elements were rotated -5 degrees and "odd" elements were rotated 5
degrees, and a negative top margin was added to get the odd elements in the
right position:
.se-slope{ margin: 0 -50px; transform-origin: left center; } .se-slope:nth-child(odd){ background: #000; transform: rotate(5deg); margin-top: -200px; box-shadow: 0px -1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.4); } .se-slope:nth-child(even){ background: #e90089; transform: rotate(-5deg); box-shadow: 0px 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.4) inset; }
Stacked Menu with Size and Background Mouseover Changes
For this Stacked Menu feature, Mary Lou defined the style for the:
- list item
- link element
- single elements
- content elements wrapper
Mary Lou created the linear transition for the content elements and then set the font size and color change for the list elements on hover:
.ca-menu li:hover{ border-color: #fff004; background: #000; } .ca-menu li:hover .ca-icon{ color: #fff004; text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px #fff004; font-size: 50px; } .ca-menu li:hover .ca-main{ color: #fff004; font-size: 14px; } .ca-menu li:hover .ca-sub{ color: #fff; font-size: 30px; }
CSS3 Lightbox
For this CSS3 Lightbox design, Mary Lou used an unordered list with each item containing a thumbnail and an overlay dvision for the larger image. She made the title for each thumbnail invisible and added an opactiy transition on hover, using a radial gradient as the background:
.lb-album li > a span{ position: absolute; width: 150px; height: 150px; top: 10px; left: 10px; text-align: center; line-height: 150px; color: rgba(27,54,81,0.8); text-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6); font-size: 24px; opacity: 0; background: radial-gradient( center, ellipse cover, rgba(255,255,255,0.56) 0%, rgba(241,210,194,1) 100% ); transition: opacity 0.3s linear; } .lb-album li > a:hover span{ opacity: 1; }
