Dear stackoverflow Users,
im trying to use a Glyph of a Font on my Website. I want to place "↗ produkte", but the Browser displays The Arrow up as a blue Icon.
What it looks like right now:
Blue Arrow
What i want to Archive, is that the browser displays the arrow of the font kit: Font Arrow
Do you now a Way to archive that? I could place it as a SVG image in the p Tag but is there a Way to Use the Glyph ↗ in the p Tag too?
Thanks!
I want to embed a slideshow that goes from edge to edge of the screen. It would be convenient if I could embed into the header, but it only accepts images, and no embeds or zip files.
It sounds like you want a background image. On the toolbar, select View, then Master. You'll see a 'background' option on the toolbar.
I've been using icon-fonts created at IcoMoon and they are fantastic. For this I import an SVG Illistrator output (or use premade icons) and create font files that are attached using CSS #Font-Face. These are only ever one color.
I've been reading about SVG Sprites like here: http://css-tricks.com/svg-sprites-use-better-icon-fonts/
I've tried uploading illistrator SVG files with different colors into IcoMoon (as explained at the bottom of the link above) and then creating a SVG Sprite but the color never comes through (always just one color).
Am I doing something wrong with IcoMoon? How can I create a color SVG Sprite using a site like IcoMoon that can be used to display icons where required?
thankyou
Note: i need multiple colors in each image. (not just one color styled via CSS).
I am creating a template for my company that will be used down the road on a variety of different clients sites, and they will all range in color. I have created icons for this template that are currently black (or white) and I want to be able to control the color of these icons via css. They are one simple color and in photoshop if you do a blending option of color overlay and choose 1 color, they look great. Is this possible to do in css so when someone is editing this template for future clients that they can control the icon colors in css instead of having to edit every icon in photoshop every time?
It's possible to change the color of a logo in CSS, but not to solve the problem you are talking about. To make a changeable logo you would make a PNG with transparency where the logo is and background color (of the webpage) in the negative space. Then put it over a P or div that has the logo color you want as its background color.
Trouble is, you have just exchanged having a flexible logo color for an inflexible "background" color.
Better to just include both colors of logo, white and black, as part of a "package" that is put up with all websites. Just call the one you want in CSS where you want it.
If your icon is a shape you can make in css, it could work, but I have never heard of anybody doing what you are talking about before.
Its not possible to change the color of icon using css. You can shape it,you can give transparency,opacity etc
Not possible via CSS. You can use some dynamic technologies like Canvas, but it's not good way. I would rather create tool to create icon sets in desired color. You can do it with PHP (phpGD or ImageMagick here is example of similiar problem).
You can do this with images (as long as the background colour is consistent) but it requires thinking outside the box a bit. Open the icon's image file in Photoshop (or similar). Edit it so that the "icon" part (i.e. the bit that is currently black) is transparent, and the background (i.e. the bit that isn't what the icon depicts) is filled white (or whatever the background colour of the site is). Essentially you've "reversed the polarity" of the image. Put the image in the web page, then use CSS to specify it's background-color. Your icon should appear in that colour. Edit: Something like this: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2010/10/31/transparent-css-sprites/
A [potentially] much simpler approach would be to use an icon font like http://pictos.cc/. That's just text really, so you can colour it with CSS as usual.
You can do this with CSS pseudo elements and translucent overlays. You can follow the instructions here: http://www.impressivewebs.com/image-tint-blend-css/
If you have a vector logo, you can do this with SVG logos even easier (by altering your SVG colors).
If you make the icon images into a font, then you have full control over both size and color via CSS. Check out the very popular Font-Awesome font, designed to compliment Twitter Bootstrap.
I'm no font expert, but if this approach sounds like a fit, you'll do something like:
create vector graphics from your icons
load them into a font editor, like FontLab Studio
add the new font to your favorite web application. If you need a guide for this, FontSquirrel.com generates great #font-face markup to include their library of free fonts.
It can be done and works well with Firefox and Chrome as far as I know. Example below.
http://demosthenes.info/blog/532/Convert-Images-To-Black-And-White-With-CSS
img {
filter: grayscale(100%);
-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);
-ms-filter: grayscale(100%);
-o-filter: grayscale(100%);
}
I would say the best/easiest answer is to use SVG. The logo should probably be in a vector format to start with so that it can be scaled without detail loss from business cards to billboards.
SVG 'images' are based on shapes. Give the shape you want to change a name, and then address it in CSS to change it's colour.
This article:

and this example:

Do an excellent job of explaining how to achieve this and also show off other possibilities.
SVG at least the basics are now widely supported, ie8 is the only browser holding it back and even so there are ways around this via rendering SVG as an image on the fly.
I have a weird problem with images in visual web developer,
I cant change my images properties from properties panel (my changes don't take effect) and all images in my website have gotten the same size
when I resize one image (by dragging the border), all images get that new size?
any idea?
Somehow visual web developer read the image class in the CSS file instead of the properties of the control because there is something like this in my CSS file:
img {
width:260px;
}
Yes, basically the width and height properties of the HTML <img /> have been deprecated for some time, you are recommended to use styles instead.
VS then takes this to the extreme, and instead of using inline styles, will create a new style in the default style sheet location for img, as you've discovered.
However, unless you are using the image full size somewhere you are better off resizing the image before you upload it to the server, saving on everyones bandwidth.
Also, IE does pretty poor things with it's default scaling routine, but you can turn on cubic sampling through css.
