What was the outcome? I think it’s a half-way decent copy - of course the original will always look significantly better.</p> -<p>Don’t care about reading through the tutorial? No problem!

Instead, I’m just going to breakdown each individual section to make things more digestible.</p> -<h3 id="defaults-the-white-square">Defaults & the White Square</h3> -<pre><code>* { - box-sizing: border-box; -} -:root { - --row-distance: 42px; -} - -.white-square { - background: white; - border-radius: 105px; - box-shadow: inset 0 -5px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25), 0 12px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.15), 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); - height: 420px; - left: 165px; - position: absolute; - transform: rotate(-8deg); - top: 95px; - width: 420px; -} -</code></pre> -<p>See that <code>--row-distance</code> variable? That will come into play a bit later. For now, we want to lay the Blue Square on top of this newly creating White Square:</p> -<pre><code>.blue-square { - background: linear-gradient(#04BDFD 0%, #0585E4 100%); - border-radius: 105px; - box-shadow: inset 0 5px 8px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), inset 0 -5px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.32), 0 12px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18), 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.15); - height: 420px; - left: 205px; - padding: 75px 0 0; - position: absolute; - top: 75px; - width: 420px; -} -</code></pre> -<h2 id="targeting-the-inner-rows">Targeting the Inner Rows</h2> -<p>So far so good. The next part <em>looks</em> like a lot, but I assure you it’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> -<pre><code>.blue-square .row { - display: flex; - height: 20px; - justify-content: space-between; - padding: 0 55px; - position: absolute; - width: 100%; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Now we style each individual row item via the <code>nth-of-type</code> attribute:</p> -<pre><code>.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(2) { margin-top: var(--row-distance); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(2) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 85px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(2) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 100px); -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(3) { margin-top: calc(var(--row-distance) * 2); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(3) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 115px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(3) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 130px); -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(4) { margin-top: calc(var(--row-distance) * 3); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(4) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 185px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(4) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 200px); -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(5) { margin-top: calc(var(--row-distance) * 4); width: calc(100% - 115px); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(5) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 105px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(5) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 120px); -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(6) { margin-top: calc(var(--row-distance) * 5); width: calc(100% - 140px); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(6) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 65px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(6) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 80px); -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(7) { margin-top: calc(var(--row-distance) * 6); width: calc(100% - 160px); } -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(7) .item:nth-of-type(odd) { - width: 40px; -} -.blue-square .row:nth-of-type(7) .item:nth-of-type(even) { - width: calc(100% - 55px); -} -.blue-square .row .item { - background: white; - border-radius: 20px; - box-shadow: inset 0 -2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.06), inset 0 2px 4px rgba(255,255,255,0.1), 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.05); - width: 40px; -} -.blue-square .row .item:nth-of-type(even) { - background: #3FC0F5; - width: calc(100% - 55px); -} -</code></pre> -<p>Take a few moments to read everything over - it will help you better understand what’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> -<h3 id="the-play-button">The Play Button</h3> -<p>Now we finish things off with a much simpler element to style:</p> -<pre><code>.play-button { - backdrop-filter: blur(6px); - border-radius: 9999px; - box-shadow: inset 0 4px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.3), inset 0 20px 15px rgba(255,255,255,0.6), 0 8px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.05); - height: 220px; - overflow: hidden; - position: absolute; - right: 140px; - top: 320px; - width: 220px; -} -.play-button::before { - background: rgba(255,255,255,0.9); - border-radius: 9999px; - content:''; - filter: blur(40px); - height: 150%; - left: -25%; - opacity: 0.8; - position: absolute; - top: -25%; - width: 150%; -} - -.triangle { - position: absolute; - left: calc(50% - 2em); - background-color: #315074; - top: calc(50% - 2.1em); - text-align: left; -} -.triangle:before, -.triangle:after { - content: ''; - position: absolute; - background-color: inherit; -} -.triangle, -.triangle:before, -.triangle:after { - width: 3.2em; - height: 3.2em; - border-top-right-radius: 30%; -} - -.triangle { - transform: rotate(-90deg) skewX(-30deg) scale(1,.866); -} -.triangle:before { - transform: rotate(-135deg) skewX(-45deg) scale(1.414,.707) translate(0,-50%); -} -.triangle:after { - transform: rotate(135deg) skewY(-45deg) scale(.707,1.414) translate(50%); -} -</code></pre> -<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 & 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> -<p>That’s really all there is to it!
