I recently designed a quick Dribbble shot showcasing how the older operating system used to have so much more character and depth.</p> -<p><img src="/public/images/aqua-ui-css-buttons.webp" alt="Old macOS Buttons" /></p> -<p><em>My initial Dribbble shot, which can be found <a href="https://dribbble.com/shots/4561658-Aqua-Buttons-UI">here</a></em></p> -<p>Since I’ve been wanting to dip my toes into more tutorial-based articles (maybe I’ll even do some screencasts in the future), I decided to start out simple. Let’s walk through how to implement these ‘aqua’ UI buttons with pure CSS.</p> -<h3 id="starting-with-a-basic-foundation">Starting with a basic foundation</h3> -<p>Since this project consists of only two buttons elements, the HTML or skeleton of this project is very straightforward:</p> -<pre><code><button class="cancel">Cancel</button> -<button class="confirm">Confirm</button> -</code></pre> -<h3 id="styling-the-buttons">Styling the buttons</h3> -<p>The first step is to remove the browser’s default button styling by using the <code>appearance</code> property. This will help avoid having to fight against the browser and minimize our CSS code.</p> -<pre><code>button { - -webkit-appearance: none; - -moz-appearance: none; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Next, we apply a fairly simple set of CSS that will be shared across both the confirm and cancel buttons:</p> -<p>(Pay attention to the <code>transition</code> property as we will be returning to that shortly)</p> -<pre><code>button { - -webkit-appearance: none; - -moz-appearance: none; - border: 1px solid #ccc; - border-radius: 125px; - box-shadow: inset 0 13px 25px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), 0 3px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 10px 13px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); - cursor: pointer; - font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; - font-size: 2rem; - margin: 5rem 1rem; - padding: 1.2rem 4rem; - position: relative; - transition: all ease .3s; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Then we separate the specific confirm and cancel button styles into their own class selectors:</p> -<pre><code>button.confirm { - background: #4A90E2; - border-color: #3672B6; - color: #fff; -} - -button.cancel { - background: #D0D0D0; - border-color: #B8B8B8; - color: #6F6F6F; -} -</code></pre> -<h3 id="playing-with-pseudo-elements">Playing with pseudo elements</h3> -<p>Now that the button is styled and structured with basic formatting, it’s time to add that classic ‘shine’ seen in the original Dribbble shot.</p> -<p>The cleanest way to do this is by using the <code>:before</code> pseudo element paired with a linear-gradient background.</p> -<pre><code>button:before { - background: linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,1) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%); - border-radius: 125px; - content:''; - height: 50px; - left: 4%; - position: absolute; - top: 1px; - transition: all ease .3s; - width: 92%; -} -</code></pre> -<h3 id="adding-interaction">Adding interaction</h3> -<p>The final step is adding the user hover interaction: (Remember that <code>transition</code> property?)</p> -<pre><code>button:hover { - box-shadow: inset 0 13px 25px rgba(255,255,255,0.8), 0 3px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 10px 13px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); - transform: scale(1.02); -} -</code></pre> -<p>That’s it!</p> -<h3 id="see-it-live-on-codepen">See it live on CodePen</h3> -<p>You can view this project on CodePen here.</p> -<p>Feel free to fork it or implement your own!</p> -<footer role="contentinfo"> - <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> - <ul id="menu"> - <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> - <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> - <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> - <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> - <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> - <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> - <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> - <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> - <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> - <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> - </ul> - <small> - Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> - Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> - Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> - The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. - </small> -</footer>
