I have this image and I want to make it white by default and cyan by hover. Is there another way than to make 2 images, one white and one cyan?
You can make a PNG where the magnifying glass is transparent, then set the background color on the img tag in CSS:
img {
background: steelblue;
}
img:hover {
background: skyblue;
}
Demo: http://jsbin.com/jeqihuxo/2/edit
Another way is to use sprites. Well, technically would not be two seperate images but one image which background-position is changed on hover. Your image is 36x48, so make a new image 72x48 with the non-hover version on the left side and the hover version on the right and move the background on hover.

When I am using CSS3 to include a PNG file with a transparent background it the background is autometically being converted to white. How do I keep it transparent?
CSS does not manipulate PNG files in any way as you're making it sound. Without seeing your code, we can only assume that the white background you describe is the background color of the element the image is placed in.
If the image itself is being used as the background, use this code:
element {
background: transparent url(image.png) no-repeat center;
}
If the image is not being used as a background and is merely an image element placed within a div, then the background color of the parent div should be set to transparent.
With CSS3, is it possible to fade from a background-color to a background-image?
I know it's possible to fade from color to color or from image to image, but can you also fade from the one to the other?
It's not possible from native view, but you can simulate it: jsFiddle
body {
background-image: url('http://s1.directupload.net/images/140212/gvyaj9ca.png');
}
This picture is a PNG with nothing inside (not even white color) and the same size as:
body:hover {
background-image: url('http://connexo.de/img/logos/CSS3_Logo.png');
}
I don't exactly know what behavior of the background color you want to achieve.
I just revert it to white.
I am trying to create a hover over image from a single split PNG
How do I enable it so when the image is not hovered over, the top image will view, but when they hover over, the bottom one will show.
The technique you are asking for is called "CSS-Sprites". Here's a tutorial
It uses the background-position style. For the default state of your element, just set the image as background. Note that you need a fixed height (half the height of your sprite) to hide the second part of the image. You also need a width, because your button will contain no content, just a background. For the hover state, use a negative background-position:
.button-foo{
display: block;
height: 29px;
width: 110px;
background: url("http://i.imgur.com/sJu5vvo.png") no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
}
.button-foo:hover{
background-position: 0 -29px;
}
This means the image is moved up so the top icon in there is above the visible area of your button.
Try to make sprites there is many applications out there. Google Css sprites generator.
Or try this one its free http://csssprites.com. Then its just simple css or jquery if u want any effects.
I have a background image and below that I want to have a color.
I have this CSS:
body {
background: url('/images/background.jpg');
background-color: #000;
}
But the image appears with no color. I've also tried this:
body {
background: #000 url('/images/background.jpg');
}
But that doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong?
What do you really want? The background color around the image background or in the back of the image? If it's in the back of the image you have to use an .png (transparent) image and the background: #000 url('/images/background.png');
background: #000 url('/images/background.jpg');
Your background color is actually working but it is being overlapped by declaring a background-image. Unless your image supports transparency like .png and opacity was declared. You would be able to view your bg-color.
It will help if you provide us your exact image and the output you want to achieve.
Use in this way background: #657b78 url('../images/background.jpg') repeat top left;. Do not forget to check if the URL of such image is correct.
Is it possible to change the color or tint of background image on hover/focus using pure css
See example here http://jsfiddle.net/jitendravyas/HdDRA/
In above example there is a white arrow on an image. I want to change the color of white arrow ( not the other background image) to something else on hover and focus.
I cannot use inline images in my case.
Edit:
I'm looking almost same like this http://jsbin.com/icemiy but for background images.
And I also want to change the color with fade-out so I can't do with multiple images
A quick and dirty fix would be to duplicate the arrow image in the color you want it to be onHover. Then replace the background image with this in the code.
body
{
background:
url(http://www.kapellohair.com/images/white-arrow.png) no-repeat,
url(http://www.tnpsc.com/downloads/NaturesScenery.jpg) no-repeat;
background-position:
center 50px,
center top;
}
body:hover
{
background:
url(http://www.example.com/images/arrow-with-desired-color.png) no-repeat,
url(http://www.tnpsc.com/downloads/NaturesScenery.jpg) no-repeat;
background-position:
center 50px,
center top;
}

Just thinking off the top of my head here.
I suppose you could put a transparent coloured div over the top of the image with an opacity of 0, then have its opacity go up to say 10% on hover. You'd be somewhat limited on what you could do though, it would look weird if you did it to an image with an irregular outline, for example, and you'd only have limited control over the tinting (I think it would pretty much be the equivalent of a semi-opaque layer in Photoshop so you couldn't do anything that you would require other tricks such as multiply or screen to achieve).
No, you can't do what you want, you can change the background using another different image.
An alternative could be to use a font to render the arrow and then to change its color (which is also animatable).
Alternatively, you can rely on Javascript to do some color manipulations on the image. See this answer
