<p>Overall, I&#8217;m fairly impressed with the user interface design of Sony&#8217;s PS4 system OS. It&#8217;s minimal and keeps the content front and center. Even with it&#8217;s sometimes spotty performance hiccups, I&#8217;ve come to enjoy interacting with it.</p>
-
<p>One of the key UI items I&#8217;ve always been a fan of is the download progress view under the <code>Notifications</code> settings. So I figured I&#8217;d try my hand at recreating this with pure CSS. Here is the final result:</p>

<p>Although I&#8217;ve added some of my own improvements (typography spacing, tweaks to the progress bar animation) - the concept it still pretty close to the original.</p>

<p>But enough chit-chat, let&#8217;s walkthrough how to make it!</p>
-
<h2 id="the-html">The HTML</h2>
-
<p>As with most of my demos, the HTML is very minimal and straightforward. The PS4 system OS download view needs to show the following:</p>
-
<ol>
<li>The game&#8217;s title</li>
<li>Full game size, amount downloaded and time remaining</li>
<li>Visual progress bar</li>
</ol>
-
<p>So we will place the game&#8217;s title inside our <code>h2</code> with a class of <code>title</code> (shocking, I know). The details about game size, downloaded amount and time remaining gets placed under a parent <code>div</code> with an accompanying <code>details</code> class. Finally, we create our progress bar by including a parent <code>div</code> with a class of <code>progress</code> that contains a child <code>div</code> with a class of <code>inner-progress</code>.</p>

<p>Pretty clean and easy to understand.</p>

<p>Now it&#8217;s time to utilize all those classes in the HTML above to craft our PS4 UI recreation. I&#8217;ll break this section down into digestible chunks to avoid overwhelming you by vomiting out a bunch of CSS spaghetti.</p>

<p>Not a whole lot of code to get things looking proper, eh? Next we move on to the progress bar. This is <em>slightly</em> more interesting since we are going to utilize the <code>before</code> pseudo element - which sounds more complex than it actually is. Pay close attention to the pseudo element and how it calls the <code>progress-bar-shine</code> animation - more on that later.</p>

<p>Although far from perfect, this experiment still explores what can be created (or in this case, <em>re</em>created) in the browser using just pure CSS. Remember, you don&#8217;t have to reach for JavaScript just because you can!</p>
