Yes, SVG files have come a long way and are quite useful for this type of vector graphics. However there is something so satisfying about knowing that your vector art fits into a single div and comes purely from CSS. Amazing work. These are really visually appealing to me. Soft and welcoming, yet vibrant.
- wingerlang 10y agoI'm on the opposite side. With all the quirks of CSS, all I can think is: "I wonder how it looks in browser X".
- ygra 10y agoMost of these do not much more than layering gradients via multiple background declarations. That gives browser developers very little room to screw up if gradients and multiple backgrounds work correctly. It still remains a hack, of course and I guess there is little use of the technique apart from curiosity and fun.
- myfonj 10y agoIn reality, that layering gradients via multiple backgrounds has still many quirks across current browsers: different pixel rounding errors, different blend modes often produces visually incoherent results - seams, gaps and aliasing [1]. One amusing quip: recently I have been messing with CSS3, tried the most simple use-case for `radial-gradient` I could imagine and immediately ran into Chrome bug [2] not reported at the time. I think it is somewhat illustrative. [1] Look for example at http://codepen.io/myf/pen/Bzmmry http://codepen.io/myf/pen/Bzmmry in Chrome and Firefox.
