<p>I have always been a huge fan of <a href="https://dribbble.com/bg-d">Bogdan&#8217;s work on Dribbble</a> and was recently inspired to see if I could replicate one of his awesome icon designs with only HTML &#38; CSS. What was the outcome? I think it&#8217;s a half-way decent copy - of course the original will always look significantly better.</p>

<p>So far so good. The next part <em>looks</em> like a lot, but I assure you it&#8217;s fairly straightforward. We need to include each row inside the Blue Square like in the original Dribbble shot (7 total). First we start with the parent <code>row</code> styling:</p>

<p>Take a few moments to read everything over - it will help you better understand what&#8217;s going on. Basically, we are adding two inner elements to each row element. We calculate the <code>margin-top</code> distance by using that <code>--row-distance</code> variable I mentioned earlier. The inner elements are then styled based on their placement inside the row (<code>nth-of-type</code>).</p>

<p>Thanks to <a href="https://m.nintendojo.fr/@meduz/106059826445460903">meduz</a> for pointing out the <code>backdrop-filter</code> property. This allows for a frosted glass look on Chromium &#38; Safari (although sadly not on Firefox). The <code>triangle</code> element could also be improved by using an embedded <code>SVG</code> but I was determined to use only CSS for this experiment :P</p>
