CSS create a box-shadow in diagonal - css

sorry for the weird title, I couldn't think of a better way to describe the issue
I've added a before element to my div to cut the side of it and I want to add a shadow over that div, but it looks weird because of the before element:
HTML:
#equipe1 {
background: #262626;
width: 564px;
height: 121px;
left: 0;
top: 57px;
position: absolute;
box-shadow: 0 0 4px 0 #0c0c0c;
}
#equipe1:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
border-top: 130px solid #1a1a1a;
border-left: 130px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
width: 0;
}
<div id="equipe1"></div>
and here's a JSFiddle showing the issue:
http://jsfiddle.net/73t6uak0/
is there any way I could fix this to make the box-shadow go around the div or add an inset shadow to the before element?

You can try perspective transforms to make the trapezium, without the need for pseudo-elements. Adapted from this answer.
body {
background: #1a1a1a;
}
#equipe1 {
background: #333;
width: 564px;
height: 121px;
position: relative;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #AAA;
-webkit-transform: perspective(300px) rotateX(30deg);
-o-transform: perspective(300px) rotateX(30deg);
-moz-transform: perspective(300px) rotateX(30deg);
transform: perspective(300px) rotateX(30deg);
-webkit-transform-origin: 0% 50%;
-moz-transform-origin: 0% 50%;
-o-transform-origin: 0% 50%;
transform-origin: 0% 50%;
margin: 10px 10px;
}
<div id="equipe1"></div>

You could also try using the skewXtransform:
div{
display:inline-block;
height:50px;
width:200px;
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
}
div:before{
content:"";
position:absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%;
top:0;
left:-12%;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
transform:skewX(45deg);
box-shadow:inset 0 0 3px red;
}
<div></div>

Custom CSS lines connecting multiple divs/progress bars

I want to create rounded lines that connect 3 divs together like the image below. I tried using css border radius but not sure how to make them look connected like image below.
<div class="progress bar"> 29</div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="progress bar"> 28</div>
.box{
width:500px; height:100px;
border:solid 5px #000;
border-color:#000 transparent transparent transparent;
border-radius: 50%/100px 100px 0 0;
}
You may try pseudo element like this :
.progress {
position:relative;
margin:50px;
padding:5px;
border:5px solid blue;
width:20px;
border-radius:50%;
text-align:center;
background: #fff;
}
.right:after {
content: " ";
position: absolute;
border-radius: 50%;
top: 15px;
right: -38px;
height: 80px;
width: 80px;
border-right: 5px solid blue;
}
.left:after {
content: " ";
position: absolute;
border-radius: 50%;
top: 15px;
left: -38px;
height: 80px;
width: 80px;
border-left: 5px solid blue;
}
.dotted-left:after {
border-left: 5px dotted blue;
}
.dotted-right:after {
border-right: 5px dotted blue;
}
.dotted-progress {
border-style:dotted;
}
<div class="progress right"> 29</div>
<div class="progress left dotted-left"> 28</div>
<div class="progress dotted-progress"> 28</div>
You can use:
/* Rotate from top left corner (not default) */
-webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
-moz-transform-origin: 0 0;
-ms-transform-origin: 0 0;
-o-transform-origin: 0 0;
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
Here is a working Fiddle:

You can play around with the sample code to achieve the desired result but this will give you a starting point.

Triangle separators between divs with transparent backgrounds

I'd like to add triangle seperators between the sections of a page. Each section has a transparent background color.
There's a parent div that wraps around the sections and has a fixed background image.

Double curved shape

I am currently attempting to generate a 'wavy ghostly bottom' shape. This shape contains two double curves:
Although the bottom part of this image I think portrays it in better imagery.
My Code
My Current Attempt to generate this shape was using pseudo elements and overflow: hidden, although this does not allow for a gradient background (would require a plain background):
Attempt 1 - Using Pseudo Elements with overflow hidden
.bottom {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
background: lightgray;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
margin-top:-150px;
-webkit-transform:rotate(45deg);
transform:rotate(45deg);
}
.bottom:before, .bottom:after{
position: absolute;
content: "";
background: white;
}
.bottom:before {
height: 150%;
width: 150%;
top: 50%;
border-radius:50%;
left: -45%;
}
.bottom:after {
height: 200%;
width: 100%;
bottom: -40%;
border-radius:50%;
left: 90%;
}
<div class="bottom"></div>
Attempt 2 - Using Pseudo Elements with 's' shape
.bottom {
background: lightgray;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position: relative;
overflow:hidden;
color:white;
border-radius:0 100% 0 100%;
}
.bottom:before{
content:"S";
position:absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%;
top:-100%;
left:-75%;
font-size:60em;
font-family: 'arial';
}
.bottom:after{
content:"S";
position:absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%;
top:-150%;
left:-75%;
font-size:60em;
font-family: 'arial';
}
<div class="bottom"></div>
Attempt 3 - extra elements and box shadows
I also have recently tried using box shadows and extra elements (which i would be ok with), but even then, I can't create it properly:
.bottom {
height:300px;
width:300px;
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
}
.bottom-left {
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:-50%;
height:100%;
width:100%;
border-radius:50%;
box-shadow: inset -35px 35px 0px -24px rgba(50, 50, 50, 1);
z-index:8;
background:white;
}
.top {
position:absolute;
height:100%;
top:-35%;
left:0;
width:50%;
border-radius:50%;
z-index:8;
background:gray;
box-shadow:inset 35px -35px 0px -24px rgba(50, 50, 50, 1);
}
.top-right {
position:absolute;
top:-80%;
left:45%;
height:120%;
width:100%;
border-radius:50%;
box-shadow:inset 35px -35px 0px -24px rgba(50, 50, 50, 1);
border:20px solid gray;
}
.bigone {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:-20%;
height:105%;
width:100%;
border-radius:50%;
box-shadow:inset -35px -35px 0px -24px rgba(50, 50, 50, 1);
-webkit-transform:rotate(-30deg);
transform:rotate(-30deg);
-webkit-transform-origin:center center;
transform-origin:center center;
background:gray;
}
<div class="bottom">
<div class="bottom-left"></div>
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="top-right"></div>
<div class="bigone"></div>
</div>
None of these approaches seem to allow the generation of this double curved shape easily, and would require a 'block coloured background'
Note: I would be reluctant to resort to SVG since I have 90% of the 'overall shape' completed using just pure css, so It would be good/nice to complete this without an svg element
The internal shape would be a block color, but the border isn't compulsory/critical in my design.
this is where I would like to add it to
Update
This is closest I've been able to get
Considering :
the amount of code needed
the hassle of aligning double curves
CSS doesn't seem to be the way to go here and SVG way more appropriate. To illustrate, see these two snippets :
SVG

CSS
DEMO (consider I only made one double curve on the right side of the shape)
.ghost {

margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.ghost:before,
.ghost:after {

box-shadow: -30px -30px 0px 29px #656565, 60px -110px 0px 109px #656565;
}
<div class="ghost">
</div>
Note that I didn't list out the advantages of using an svg in this case (responsiveness, quality of output, curve control, border, border color/opacity, fill colour/opacity, transparency, maintainability, amount of time to build the shape...)
You should use boxshadows and overflows to make that shape.

-ms-transform: scale(1,1.1);

transform: scale(1,1.1);
}

You can certainly improve this version using good position values!
In any case, you should almost never use this solution. the best option in my opinion would be a png image or SVG.
Working:
div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid black;

Half hexagon shape with one element

I'm trying to replicate the following shape with no success:
I'm guessing I'll need some :before and :after pseudo elements along with the following css:
#pentagon {
position: relative;
width: 78px;
height:50px;
background:#3a93d0;
}
Using Border Method:
You can do it using the below CSS. The shape is obtained by placing a triangle shape at the bottom of the rectangle using :after pseudo element. The triangular part is achieved using border method.
.pentagon {
height: 50px;
width: 78px;
background: #3a93d0;
position: relative;
}
.pentagon:after {
border: 39px solid #3a93d0;
border-top-width: 15px;
border-color: #3a93d0 transparent transparent transparent;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
content: '';
}
<div class="pentagon"></div>
Using CSS Transforms:
This approach uses rotate, skewX and hence would need a fully CSS3 compliant browser to work properly. The advantage of this approach is that it allows borders to be added around the shape unlike when using border method. The drawback is that it needs additional calculations for the angles.
It is a modified version of the short triangle method mentioned in this CodePen demo by web-tiki.
.pentagon {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 78px;
background: #3a93d0;
}
.pentagon:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
top: 12px;
left: 0;
width: 46px;
height: 38px;
background: #3a93d0;
transform-origin: 0 100%;
transform: rotate(29deg) skewX(-30deg);
}
.pentagon.bordered {
background: white;
border: 1px solid #3a93d0;
}
.pentagon.bordered:before {
width: 44px;
height: 37px;
background: white;
border: 1px solid #3a93d0;
border-color: transparent #3a93d0 #3a93d0 transparent;
transform: rotate(29deg) skewX(-30deg);
}
/* Just for demo */
.pentagon {
display: inline-block;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prefixfree/1.0.7/prefixfree.min.js"></script>
<div class="pentagon"></div>
<div class="pentagon bordered"></div>
Using CSS Skew Transforms:
This approach uses just skew() (along both X and Y axes) and does not need any complex angle calculations. It just needs the dimensions and position of the pseudo-element to be adjusted as the dimension of the parent changes.
.pentagon {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 78px;
border: 1px solid #3a93d0;
border-bottom: none;
background: aliceblue;
}
.pentagon:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
top: 10px; /* parent height - child height -1px */
left: -1px;
width: 39px;
height: 39px; /* width of parent/2 */
border-right: 1px solid #3a93d0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #3a93d0;
background: aliceblue;
transform-origin: 0 100%;
transform: matrix(1, 0.414213562373095, -1, 0.41421356237309515, 0, 0);
}
<div class="pentagon">
</div>
The above snippet uses matrix transform because as per MDN, the skew(x, y) is removed and should not be used anymore. The Matrix Resolutions site can be used to obtain the equivalent matrix function. The matrix function for rotate(45deg) skew(-22.5deg, -22.5deg) is
matrix(1, 0.414213562373095, -1, 0.41421356237309515, 0, 0).
Using Clip Path:
Here is another approach to creating the pentagon shape with clip-path. Either a pure CSS clip-path or one with inline SVG can be used depending on required browser support. CSS clip-path is supported only by Webkit browsers at present.
IE (all versions) do not support either the CSS or the SVG clip-path.
.pentagon {
position: relative;
width: 75px;
height: calc(75px / 1.414);
background: #3a93d0;
}
.pentagon.css {
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 66%, 50% 100%, 100% 66%, 100% 0%);
clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 66%, 50% 100%, 100% 66%, 100% 0%);
}
.pentagon.svg {
-webkit-clip-path: url(#clipper);
clip-path: url(#clipper);
}
.pentagon.bordered:after {
position: absolute;
content: '';
height: calc(100% - 2px);
width: calc(100% - 2px);
left: 1px;
top: 1px;
background: white;
}
.pentagon.css.bordered:after {
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 66%, 50% 100%, 100% 66%, 100% 0%);
clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 66%, 50% 100%, 100% 66%, 100% 0%);
}
.pentagon.svg.bordered:after {
-webkit-clip-path: url(#clipper);
clip-path: url(#clipper);
}
/* Just for demo */
.pentagon {
margin: 10px;
}
<svg width="0" height="0">
<defs>
<clipPath id="clipper" clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox">
<path d="M0,0 0,0.66 0.5,1 1,0.66 1,0z" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
</svg>
<h3>CSS Clip Path</h3>
<div class="pentagon css"></div>
<div class="pentagon bordered css"></div>
<h3>SVG Clip Path</h3>
<div class="pentagon svg"></div>
<div class="pentagon bordered svg"></div>
You can try an alternate approach using transform scaleX and rotate: 45deg;. This makes it very easy to create the bottom part of the shape.
transform: scaleX() rotate(45deg);

See a demo - basically it uses css triangles and a pseudo element to give a place for the triangle.
.shape {
position: relative;
width: 78px;
height:30px;
background:#3a93d0;
}
.shape:after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 25px 39px 0 39px;
border-color: #3a93d0 transparent transparent transparent;
}
<style>
#pentagon
{
position: relative;
width: 54px;
border-width: 40px 18px 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #3a93d0;
}
#pentagon:after {
border-color: #3a93d0 transparent transparent;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 21px 45px 0;
content: "";
height: 0;
left: -17px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 0;
}
</style>
if you dont want to use css3 you can do it with css
only problem is this implementation is not responsive. :(

Single div horizontal CSS hexagon button

I'd like to create a CSS button in the shape of a hexagon using a single div to keep the markup clean. I've been experimenting with before and after pseudo elements and can do it with the hexagon 'points' at top and bottom but would like to do it with them pointing left and right to fit the rest of my theme. I've got close but I can't get the after pseudo element where I want it. Can anyone fix this?
Here's where I'm up to:
#hex {
background-color:green;
width:100px;
height:100px;
float:left;
display:block;
}
#hex::before {
content:"";
border-top:50px solid red;
border-bottom:50px solid red;
border-right:30px solid blue;
float:left;
}
#hex::after {
content:"";
border-top:50px solid red;
border-bottom:50px solid red;
border-left:30px solid blue;
float:left;
}
and there's a JS Fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/higginbottom/YKx2M/
try this example: http://jsbin.com/ipaked/6
(tested on Fx and Chrome)
relevant CSS
.hexagon {
position: relative;
width: 124px;
height: 100px;
background: #d8d8d8;
}
.hexagon:after,
.hexagon:before {
position: absolute;
content: "";
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
width: 0px;
background: #fff;
border-top: 50px transparent solid;
border-bottom: 50px transparent solid;
}
.hexagon:before {
left: 0;
border-right: 30px #d8d8d8 solid;
}
.hexagon:after {
right: 0;
border-left: 30px #d8d8d8 solid;
}
(Adjust border-width and size of the hexagon so it can look as you prefer.)
As alternative you can also use a single pseudoelement in which you could show the black hexagon unicode character U+2B21, like in this example: http://jsbin.com/ipaked/7
CSS
.hexagon {
position: relative;
width: 120px;
height: 100px;
line-height: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
.hexagon:before {
position: absolute;
content: "\2B21";
font-size: 160px;
z-index: 1;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
This is probably a better choice (if using a relative font size) so the hexagon can adjust itself when the user increase or decrease the base font-size on his browser.
I'm using clip-path:
.btn {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: middle;
user-select: none;
padding: 0.375rem 2rem;
--btn-raise: 1rem;
clip-path: polygon(var(--btn-raise) 0%, calc(100% - var(--btn-raise)) 0%, 100% 50%, calc(100% - var(--btn-raise)) 100%, var(--btn-raise) 100%, 0 50%);
background-color: #fefd64;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
<a class="btn" href="/call">Call call</a>
