css piece de resistance - css

Question

i've been wrestling it out all week with a challenging design and im on my last piece de resistance and a hour left of the day,
I have a diamond/honeycomb ui here
http://jsfiddle.net/z42wg/25/
.diamonds li {
-webkit-perspective: 1000;
-moz-perspective: 1000;
-ms-perspective: 1000;
perspective: 1000;
-ms-transform: perspective(1000px);
-moz-transform: perspective(1000px);
-moz-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-ms-transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
.diamond:hover .back,.diamond.hover .back {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-o-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-ms-transform: rotateY(0deg);
transform: rotateY(0deg);
}
.diamond:hover .frontFlip,.diamond.hover .frontFlip {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(180deg);
-moz-transform: rotateY(180deg);
-o-transform: rotateY(180deg);
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.flipper {
-webkit-transition: 0.6s;
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-ms-transition: 0.6s;
-moz-transition: 0.6s;
-moz-transform: perspective(1000px);
-moz-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-ms-transform-style: preserve-3d;
transition: 0.6s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
position: relative;
}
.frontFlip, .back {
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-moz-backface-visibility: hidden;
-ms-backface-visibility: hidden;
backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transition: 0.6s;
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-moz-transition: 0.6s;
-moz-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-o-transition: 0.6s;
-o-transform-style: preserve-3d;
-ms-transition: 0.6s;
-ms-transform-style: preserve-3d;
transition: 0.6s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.frontFlip {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg);
-ms-transform: rotateY(0deg);
z-index: 2;
}
.back {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(-180deg);
-moz-transform: rotateY(-180deg);
-o-transform: rotateY(-180deg);
-ms-transform: rotateY(-180deg);
transform: rotateY(-180deg);
}
.frontFlip .name {
font-size: 2em;
display: inline-block;
background: rgba(33, 33, 33, 0.9);
color: #f8f8f8;
font-family: Courier;
padding: 5px 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: 60px;
left: 25%;
position: absolute;
text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.05em #333;
display: none;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-20deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-20deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-20deg);
transform: rotate(-20deg);
}
currently on hovering the diamond the inner text uses a css3 transition to flip but the transition needs to be on the grey diamond its self
any pointers on where to move the css rules highly appreciated!!

Answer 1

If you just want the appearance of flipping to be on the 'diamond'. You can move the remove the box-shadow on .diamond li and the background on .diamonds .diamond and put them on the .diamond .content
/* line 118, ../sass/screen.scss */
.diamonds .content {
display: table-cell;
height: 190px;
padding: 0 10px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 190px;
border: 1px solid rgb(204,204,204);
background: #f4f4f4;
}
