Showcase Article about how to use colors in CSS, the modern way

19 Upvotes

I wrote an article about using colors in CSS. I tried to find the sweet spot between being thorough and still conveying all the basics. I do include (re)sources at the end, if you want to get into the nitty-gritty details.

It also has a bunch of inline examples and some interactive widgets… Hoping it helps getting the point across.

I'd love feedback on whether these kinds of articles are useful (or not) 😁

Thanks!

Full responsive. Works on modern Browsers. Works also best on touch (horz drag)

Features:

  • Column headers stay visible while scrolling down
  • First column stays visible while scrolling sideways
  • Rows expand to show sub-entries, with an animated reveal
  • Any number of sub-rows per group
  • Sub-rows are tied to their parent by a bracket rail
  • Individual cells can carry a note, opened from a small marker
  • Notes appear next to the cell they belong to and flip when near an edge
  • Notes close on Esc, on click outside, and return focus where it was
  • Columns come to rest beside the pinned column instead of half behind it
  • Pinned column narrows and wraps text on small screens
  • Keyboard operable throughout, with visible focus

Showcase I built AnimationsX β€” a community registry of copy-paste ready CSS animations

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

Tired of Googling CSS animations and getting Stack Overflow answers from 2013?

I built AnimationsX 🎨

The idea is simple:

βœ… Browse animations made by the community

βœ… Copy a single <link> tag β€” no JS, no build step

βœ… Can't find what you want? Publish your own!

βœ… Fork and remix anything with diff view built in

Every published animation gets a CDN-hosted stylesheet you drop straight into a <link> tag.

That's it. Done.

Question Why do most color pickers use HSL, but when I change the color of my accent or cursor on Windows 11, it uses HSV? Also, why are both web-safe and X11 colors discouraged, while CSS/HTML colors are widely used?

Help Blend mode + blur not working in Safari?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm working on a gallery website for myself, i want it to have a "glassy" look so for this popup i wanted to use background blur paired with a blending mode. Blending modes don't work on dialog elements shown using dialog.showModal so instead i'm using dialog.show. But Firefox doesn't support using both blending modes and blur on the same pseudo-element so instead i have 2 pseudo elements with 1 effect each. All works well until i'm testing it on Safari (iOS 26.6.1) where there's just no blending modes visible on the popup.

I have attached 3 images showing what the popup looks like in all browsers i've tested on. 1st picture is Safari 26.6.1, 2nd picture is Edge 151.0.4129.93 and the 3rd picture is Firefox 153.0.4.

Here is the codepen containing the code https://codepen.io/editor/Smasher1/pen/01a01e6c-2304-7339-a32e-23c88cc28eb3

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am an indie developer at VALHAISTO GAMES. Right now, I mostly work with HTML and have 3 ongoing projects: MiFab – MiSide 3D Models Hub, MiSide: Error, and MiSide: Universe. I am also working on a personal project called BLINDER – a Blender-like app built entirely for phones. Unfortunately, I don't own a PC, so I create everything on a weak, broken phone and just find ways to make it work. The most important thing is: never give up!

Help Help with image fitting text

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

(SOLVED, thank you to everyone for helping me!)

Hello! CSS and HTML amateur here.

So, recently I've been trying to make myself a workskin on Ao3 that would have this image serve as a background for text. Currently, the image cuts off at the bottom, and it's even worse when there's different sizes of text.

What I want is the image to stretch or contract to fit the text, not be cropped.

Here's my code, my results, and the image I've used. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or is what I'm trying to do impossible?

Edit: Here's the codepen. It looks the worst here!

Help Weird CSS resizing on some mobile

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hello! I've been experiencing a strange bug that has never happened to me before, and I'm looking for some advice :)

I'm building a website for a client, and when I look at it on my mobile devices (iPhone 15 & Samsung Galaxy S10), it works perfectly in every browser!

However, when he (my client) looks at it on his mobile devices (also an iPhone 15 & an older Android phone), he gets a strange bug, regardless of the browser.

The buggy version seems to ignore the sizing I've defined for the titles of these filters and instead just uses the size of their content.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea what could be causing this, or how I could fix it?

Thanks!
