Line with more glow in the middle than start and end - css

I was looking at some 80's retro design, and came across some glowy stuff, including this one:
Can this be achieved with CSS ? I mean, create a line and do some box shadow. But I have to have more glow in the middle, and less in the sides, and I am not sure how this can be accomplished in just CSS ?
Thanks in advance.

Something like this?
:root {
--clr-inner: #fed9ff;
--clr-outer: #c727c9;
}
body {
background-color: black;
text-align: center;
}
.box {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.box .line-outer {
background: var(--clr-outer);
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 25px 10px var(--clr-outer);
filter: blur(1px);
height: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
.box .line-outer .line-inner {
background: var(--clr-inner);
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 25px 15px var(--clr-inner);
filter: blur(1px);
height: 4px;
left: 30%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 40%;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="line-outer">
<div class="line-inner"></div>
</div>
</div>

What about using a radial gradient ?
(you can adjust parameters using : https://html-css-js.com/css/generator/gradient/)
#demo {
background: #FFFFFF;
background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, #FFFFFF 0%, #A42799 64%, #000000 100%);
background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, #FFFFFF 0%, #A42799 64%, #000000 100%);
background: radial-gradient(ellipse at center, #FFFFFF 0%, #A42799 64%, #000000 100%);
height:50px;
width:100%
}
<div id="demo"></div>

How to put gradient opacity in my gradient?

In the mockup I have, the stripes have a gradient opacity effect from transparent to semi-transparent.
Currently, I have this:
How do I make it so that the white stripes have the transparency gradient?
Here is my current code.
body {
background: gray;
}
.bar {
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #FC0252 0%, #01Fdd9 100%);
border-radius: 100rem;
position: relative;
}
/** Stripes. */
.bar::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
border-radius: 100rem;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-size: 90px 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient(
120deg,
transparent,
transparent 40%,
white 40%,
white 60%,
transparent 60%
);
}
<div class="bar"></div>
You can add a mask layer on the pseudo-element:
body {
background: gray;
}
.bar {
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #FC0252 0%, #01Fdd9 100%);
border-radius: 100rem;
position: relative;
}
/** Stripes. */
.bar::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
border-radius: 100rem;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-size: 90px 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient( 120deg, transparent 40%, white 41% 60%, transparent 61%);
-webkit-mask:linear-gradient(white,transparent);
mask:linear-gradient(white,transparent);
}
<div class="bar"></div>
In case you need better browser support than masks provide, I'd do something with an additional container, but overall it's a funny looking progress bar, hope it's for a kids game or something.
body {
background: gray;
padding-top: 5rem;
}
.bar-container {
border-radius: 100rem;
overflow: hidden;
border: darkgray 2px solid;
box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #FC0252 0%, #01Fdd9 100%);
}
.bar {
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
background-size: 90px 100%;
background-image: linear-gradient(
120deg,
transparent,
transparent 40%,
white 40%,
white 60%,
transparent 60%
);
}
.bar::before, .bar::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 50%;
}
.bar::before {
left: 0;
background: linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(252,2,82,1) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 50%);
}
.bar::after {
right: 0;
background: linear-gradient(-45deg, rgba(1,253,217,1) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 50%);
}

Creating a rectangles with corners removed + stroke in CSS [duplicate]

I'm looking to "cut" the top left corner of a div, like if you had folded the corner of a page down.
I'd like to do it in pure CSS, are there any methods?
If the parent element has a solid color background, you can use pseudo-elements to create the effect:
div {
height: 300px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid red;
width: 0;
}
<div></div>
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/
P.S. The upcoming border-corner-shape is exactly what you're looking for. Too bad it might get cut out of the spec, and never make it into any browsers in the wild :(
CSS Clip-Path
Using a clip-path is a new, up and coming alternative. Its starting to get supported more and more and is now becoming well documented. Since it uses SVG to create the shape, it is responsive straight out of the box.
CanIUse
Clip Path Generator
div {
width: 200px;
min-height: 200px;
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 25%, 75% 0);
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 0 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 25%, 75% 0);
background: lightblue;
}
<div>
<p>Some Text</p>
</div>
CSS Transform
I have an alternative to web-tiki's transform answer.
body {
background: lightgreen;
}
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: transparent;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
div.bg {
width: 200%;
height: 200%;
background: lightblue;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: -75%;
transform-origin: 50% 50%;
transform: rotate(45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
<div class="bg"></div>
<p>Some Text</p>
</div>
If you need a transparent cut out edge, you can use a rotated pseudo element as a background for the div and position it to cut out the desired corner:
body {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/k8BtMvj.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
div {
position: relative;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 1100%; height: 1100%;
top: 20px; right: -500%;
background: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
transform-origin: 54% 0;
transform: rotate(45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>
</div>
Note that this solution uses transforms and you need to add the required vendor prefixes. For more info see canIuse.
To cut the bottom right edge, you can change the top, transform and transform-origin properties of the pseudo element to:
body {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/k8BtMvj.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
div {
position: relative;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 1100%; height: 1100%;
bottom: 20px; right: -500%;
background: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
transform-origin: 54% 100%;
transform: rotate(-45deg);
z-index: -1;
}
<div>
... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>... content ...<br/>
</div>
Here is another approach using CSS transform: skew(45deg) to produce the cut corner effect. The shape itself involves three elements (1 real and 2 pseudo-elements) as follows:
The main container div element has overflow: hidden and produces the left border.
The :before pseudo-element which is 20% the height of the parent container and has a skew transform applied to it. This element prodcues the border on the top and cut (slanted) border on the right side.
The :after pseudo-element which is 80% the height of the parent (basically, remaining height) and produces the bottom border, the remaining portion of the right border.
The output produced is responsive, produces a transparent cut at the top and supports transparent backgrounds.
div {
position: relative;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border-left: 2px solid beige;
overflow: hidden;
}
div:after,
div:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
width: calc(100% - 2px);
left: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
div:before {
height: 20%;
top: 0px;
border: 2px solid beige;
border-width: 2px 3px 0px 0px;
transform: skew(45deg);
transform-origin: right bottom;
}
div:after {
height: calc(80% - 4px);
bottom: 0px;
border: 2px solid beige;
border-width: 0px 2px 2px 0px;
}
.filled:before, .filled:after {
background-color: beige;
}
/* Just for demo */
div {
float: left;
color: beige;
padding: 10px;
transition: all 1s;
margin: 10px;
}
div:hover {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
}
div.filled{
color: black;
}
body{
background-image: radial-gradient(circle, #3F9CBA 0%, #153346 100%);
}
<div class="cut-corner">Some content</div>
<div class="cut-corner filled">Some content</div>
The below is another method to produce the cut corner effect by using linear-gradient background images. A combination of 3 gradient images (given below) is used:
One linear gradient (angled towards bottom left) to produce the cut corner effect. This gradient has a fixed 25px x 25px size.
One linear gradient to provide a solid color to the left of the triangle that causes the cut effect. A gradient is used even though it produces a solid color because we can control size, position of background only when images or gradients are used. This gradient is positioned at -25px on X-axis (basically meaning it would end before the place where the cut is present).
Another gradient similar to the above which again produces a solid color but is positioned at 25px down on the Y-axis (again to leave out the cut area).
The output produced is responsive, produces transparent cut and doesn't require any extra elements (real or pseudo). The drawback is that this approach would work only when the background (fill) is a solid color and it is very difficult to produce borders (but still possible as seen in the snippet).
.cut-corner {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent 50%, beige 50%), linear-gradient(beige, beige), linear-gradient(beige, beige);
background-size: 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.filled {
background-image: linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), black calc(50% - 1px), black calc(50% + 1px), beige calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(beige, beige), linear-gradient(beige, beige);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
/* Just for demo */

You could use linear-gradient. Let's say the parent div had a background image, and you needed a div to sit on top of that with a gray background and a dog-eared left corner. You could do something like this:
.parent-div { background: url('/image.jpg'); }
.child-div {
background: #333;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, transparent 30px, #333 0);
}

I have an online generator for some of the below code: https://css-generators.com/custom-corners/
You can use mask and CSS variables to have better control over the whole shape. It's responsive, transparent and allow any kind of background:
.box {
--all:0px;
width:200px;
height:150px;
display:inline-block;
margin:10px;
background:red;
-webkit-mask:

linear-gradient( -45deg, transparent 0 var(--bottom-right,var(--all)),#fff 0) bottom right,
linear-gradient( 135deg, transparent 0 var(--top-left,var(--all)) ,#fff 0) top left,
linear-gradient(-135deg, transparent 0 var(--top-right,var(--all)) ,#fff 0) top right;
-webkit-mask-size:50.5% 50.5%;
-webkit-mask-repeat:no-repeat;
}
body {
background:grey;

You can use clip-path, as Stewartside and Sviatoslav Oleksiv mentioned. To make things easy, I created a sass mixin:
#mixin cut-corners ($left-top, $right-top: 0px, $right-bottom: 0px, $left-bottom: 0px) {
clip-path: polygon($left-top 0%, calc(100% - #{$right-top}) 0%, 100% $right-top, 100% calc(100% - #{$right-bottom}), calc(100% - #{$right-bottom}) 100%, $left-bottom 100%, 0% calc(100% - #{$left-bottom}), 0% $left-top);
}
.cut-corners {
#include cut-corners(10px, 0, 25px, 50px);
}
According to Harry's linear-gradient solution (answered Oct 14 '15 at 9:55), it says that opacity background isn't possible, I tried it and yep, it isn't.
But! I found a workaround. No it's not super optimised, but it worked. So here's my solution. Since Harry doesn't use pseudo element, we can achieve this by creating one.
Set position relative to the container and create a pseudo element with the same linear-gradient properties. In other words, just clone it. Then put a transparent background for the container, and lets say a black background for the clone. Put a position absolute on it, a z-index of -1 and an opacity value (ie. 50%). It will do the job. Again it's a workaround and it's not perfect but it works just fine.
.cut-corner {
position: relative;
color: white;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% + 1px), transparent calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
.cut-corner:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0.5;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(white, white), linear-gradient(to bottom left, transparent calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% - 1px), white calc(50% + 1px), black calc(50% + 1px)), linear-gradient(black, black), linear-gradient(black, black);
background-size: 2px 100%, 2px 100%, 100% 2px, 100% 2px, 25px 25px, 100% 100%, 100% 100%;
background-position: 0% 0%, 100% 25px, -25px 0%, 0px 100%, 100% 0%, -25px 0%, 100% 25px;
}
/* Just for demo */
div {
padding: 10px;
}

With a small edit to Joseph's code, the element does not require a solid background:
div {
height: 300px;
background: url('http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/190037/serene-nature-scenery-blue.jpg');
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid rgba(0,0,0,0);
width: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/1921/
This use of 'rgba(0,0,0,0)' allows the inner 'corner' to be invisible
.
You can also edit the 4th parameter 'a', where 0 < a < 1, to have a shadow for more of a 'folded-corner' effect:
http://jsfiddle.net/2bZAW/1922/ (with shadow)
NOTE: RGBA color values are supported in IE9+, Firefox 3+, Chrome, Safari, and in Opera 10+.
by small modification of Joshep's code...You can use this code which seems like right corner folded down as per your requirement.
div {
height: 300px;
background: red;
position: relative;
}
div:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
border-top: 80px solid white;
border-left: 80px solid blue;
width: 0;
}
Another one solution:
html:
<div class="background">
<div class="container">Hello world!</div>
</div>
css:
.background {
position: relative;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-right: 150px solid lightgreen;
border-bottom: 150px solid lightgreen;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.background::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: 25px solid lightgreen;
border-top-color: transparent;
border-left-color: transparent;
}
.container {
position: absolute;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-top: 25px;
font-size: 38px;
font-weight: bolder;
}

I recently cut off the top right corner and overlaid the tabs like folders. Complete code noob, so ignore the shitty code, but I did this by combining a square, a triangle, and a rectangle... This may or may not be a new approach, but hopefully, someone finds it helpful.

CSS light (fading) effect

I found this picture on the internet and I would love to do this effect on my website.
I am trying to have a darker background, a lamp at the top like on the picture and a picture under it. But I want it to look like the light from the lamp is shining on a picture.
Is this possible to do?
You could use a few pseudo elements to create this effect, including a linear gradient and transforms:
Demo [hover image to see effect]
.light {
position: relative;
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.light img {/*Image inside*/
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.light:before {/*creates the bulb*/
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: 100%;/*places above image*/
left: 50%;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
background: lightgray;
transform: translateX(-50%);/*places in center of image*/
z-index: 10;/*places in front of image*/
border: 2px solid dimgray;/*borders add 3D effect to bulb*/
border-bottom: none;
border-top: 5px solid #222;
}
.light:after {/*creates the beam*/
content: "";
position: absolute;
transition: all 0.4s;
height: 0;
width: 100px;
top: -10px;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%) perspective(400px) rotateX(45deg);/*centers, makes as trapezium*/
transform-origin: top center;
background: linear-gradient(0deg, transparent, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8));/*adds fading light*/
z-index: 5;/*places in front of image, but behind bulb*/
}
.light:hover:after {/*demo only, add this to .light:after in production*/
height: 80%;
}
<div class="light">
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/300/300" />
</div>
Add opacity:0.9; or opacity:0.3; to your darker background image style..
Hope this help's...
You can use a transparent png image like #Eamonn said or use gradient and shadow in CSS like in sample below:
<style type="text/css">
.light {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-top-left-radius: 50%;
border-top-right-radius: 50%;
border-bottom-left-radius: 20%;
border-bottom-right-radius: 20%;
box-shadow: 0 20px 20px 5px #fff;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 1%, rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 66%, rgba(255,255,255,0.79) 76%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 99%); /* FF3.6-15 */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 1%,rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 66%,rgba(255,255,255,0.79) 76%,rgba(255,255,255,1) 99%); /* Chrome10-25,Safari5.1-6 */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255,255,255,0) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 1%,rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 66%,rgba(255,255,255,0.79) 76%,rgba(255,255,255,1) 99%); /* W3C, IE10+, FF16+, Chrome26+, Opera12+, Safari7+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#00ffffff', endColorstr='#ffffff',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
</style>
<div class="light"></div>

How can I apply a gradual blur to a background image (so that a text overlay is easily readable)?

I have a large photo, such as http://www.bestwallpapersfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/1755137.jpg. I want to overlay text near its bottom.
To ensure that the text is readable, I want to use the Floor Blur approach described here: https://medium.com/#erikdkennedy/7-rules-for-creating-gorgeous-ui-part-2-430de537ba96#dc39-765a9789c924
I've learned how to do a simple Floor Fade to Black or a simple blur (both described here: https://css-tricks.com/design-considerations-text-images/).
But how do I combine the effects such that it's a gradual / gradient / progressive blur?
Thanks!
This is pretty close to what I was looking for and now just needs to be cleaned up to fix the funkiness with the h1, etc.

You could use html5 canvas to draw that progressive gradient
White text annotation without a progressive gradient:
Annotation with a progressive gradient:
Example code and a Demo:
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
var cw=canvas.width;
var ch=canvas.height;
var img=new Image();
img.onload=start;
img.src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/139992952/multple/annotateMe.jpg";
function start(){
cw=canvas.width=img.width;
ch=canvas.height=img.height;
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
var g=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,ch-100,0,ch);
g.addColorStop(0.00,'rgba(0,0,0,.1)');
g.addColorStop(1.00,'rgba(0,0,0,.75)');
ctx.fillStyle=g;
ctx.fillRect(0,ch-100,cw,100);
ctx.fillStyle='white';
ctx.font='24px verdana';
ctx.textAlign='center';
ctx.textBaseline='bottom';
ctx.fillText('Natural Beauty',cw/2,ch-5);
}
body{ background-color: ivory; }
#canvas{border:1px solid red;}
<canvas id="canvas" width=300 height=300></canvas>

possible to create 3D lighting effect with CSS?

Here's an image I'd like to recreate with HTML/CSS:
The center gradient is easy enough, as are the two rings (a border around the center, and a div around that div that has its own border). The outside shadow on the left seems simple enough as well.
Here's my best approximation so far (with a matching fiddle):
<div id="youedge">
<div id="youlight" class="round border radialgradientbg">
</div>
</div>
#youedge {
border:30px solid #888;
border-radius:190px;
width:190px;height:190px;margin:50px;
box-shadow:-30px 0 0 #555;
}
#youlight { width:150px; height:150px; background-color:#2b0c0f; }
.round { border-radius:190px; }
.border { border:20px solid #777; }
body { background-color:#999; }
.radialgradientbg {
background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, #4c1113 0%, #16040a 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(radial, center center, 0px, center center, 100%, color-stop(0%,#4c1113), color-stop(100%,#16040a)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, #4c1113 0%,#16040a 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
}
What I can't figure out is the 3D lighting effects on the two gray borders around the center. Is there a way to accomplish this in CSS?
You could do it with a single element and using :before and :after along with linear-gradient and box-shadow..
The idea is to put two circles behind the main element with opposite linear gradient backgrounds..
.circle-3d {
position: relative;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background: black;
border-radius: 50%;
margin:2em;
}
.circle-3d:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
left: -20px;
top: -20px;
bottom: -20px;
right: -20px;
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #666, #ccc);
border-radius: 50%;
z-index: -2;
box-shadow: -20px 0 10px -5px #000;
}
.circle-3d:after {
position: absolute;
left: -10px;
top: -10px;
bottom: -10px;
right: -10px;
background: linear-gradient(270deg, #222, #eee);
content: '';
border-radius: 50%;
z-index: -1;
}
<div class="circle-3d"></div>
