Developing WordPress Themes Using Responsive Frameworks Responsive design is slowly but surely becoming an expected standard for web developers. This tutorial will show you how to add a responsive framework to your next WordPress theme. What Is Responsive Design? It used to be you only had to worry about website consistency across multiple browsers, but now we have to look at the bigger picture – consistency across multiple devices. Responsive design is all about making things fluid and adjusting according to screen size. Responsive Frameworks There are several responsive frameworks out there to choose from. Bootstrap Bootstrap from Twitter is built on a responsive 12 column grid. Less Framework Less Framework is based on 4 layouts and 3 sets of typographic presets. Foundation Foundation is a grid system based on 12-columns that do not have a fixed width; they can vary based on the resolution of the screen or size of the window. YAML is a multi-column layout based on a grid system with percentage widths. Step 2 Add IE Only Conditions <! iTheme2
Create an Animated Share Menu With CSS Sharing is an integral part of the web experience and designers are always looking for new and interesting ways to highlight or show off the sharing portion of their pages. Today, we’re going to build a simple sharing menu that integrates an icon font as well as some animations. The final product is inspired by Disqus, but has a unique twist of its own. Check out the Final Demo: Click here Disqus Share Menu The idea for today’s tutorial comes from the Disqus comment menu that you see at the bottom of this and every other Design Shack article. Step 1. For this menu, we’ll need at least three social sharing icons. After some searching, I found Socialico from FontFabric, which is free, has tons of icons and is licensed for embedding on websites. Now, to make sure that we have maximum compatibility for embedding this font into our page, let’s head over to FontSquirrel. So far so good! Step 1. Now it’s time to mark up this sucker. Next, add three links in after the “share” text. That’s it!
filamentgroup/grunticon Les Media Queries CSS3 La spécification CSS3 Media Queries définit les techniques pour l'application de feuilles de styles en fonction des périphériques de consultation utilisés pour du HTML. On nomme également cette pratique Responsive Web Design, pour dénoter qu'il s'agit d'adapter dynamiquement le design à l'aide de CSS. Ces bonnes pratiques permettent d'exploiter encore plus les avantages de la séparation du contenu et de la présentation : l'intérêt est de pouvoir satisfaire des contraintes de dimensions, de résolutions et d'autres critères variés pour améliorer l'apparence graphique et la lisibilité (voire l'utilisabilité) d'un site web. Les plateformes exotiques sont concernées en premier lieu : navigateurs mobiles et tablettes, écrans à faibles résolutions, impression, tv, synthèses vocales, plages braille, etc. Approche historique Avec CSS2 et HTML4, il était déjà possible de spécifier un média de destination pour l'application d'une ou plusieurs feuilles de style. <! screen Écrans handheld print Impression
Un réseau pour une veille complète sur les outils du web Fidel Navamuel, journaliste et directeur du développement de l'Ecole des métiers de l'information (EMI-CFD), est le responsable éditorial du réseau Les Outils du Web. Ce réseau regroupe plusieurs annuaires de référence dédiés aux nouveaux outils et usages numériques : AllWeb2, Les Outils Collaboratifs, Les Outils de la Veille, les Outils Tice, Les Outils WordPress, Les Outils Google. Ces sites adoptent peu ou prou la même interface tout en se distinguant par un code couleur différent : les billets les plus récents sont affichés par ordre antéchronologique sur deux colonnes, avec pour chacun des produits décrits, le titre de l'article, une vignette d'illustration et l'incipit du billet. Une troisième colonne contient la liste de tags (et éventuellement des catégories) utilisés pour indexer et classer le contenu des différentes chroniques.

How to Create Retina-Caliber Favicons Friday, 4 January 2013 A few months ago I decided to recreate this website’s favicon to support retina-caliber displays. I found this trickier to accomplish than I anticipated, mainly due to a dearth of good ICO-savvy icon creation tools. Old (non-retina) favicons are 16 × 16 px; a retina favicon is thus 32 × 32 px. The app I found that works best is Icon Slate, by Kodlian. Next, create a new project in Icon Slate. I found no other tool that suited my needs. iConvertIcons doesn’t do multi-resource ICOs. X-Icon Editor is a free web app recommended by Thomas Fuchs in his otherwise excellent Retinafy Your Website flowchart, but the problem I found with it (other than the inherent clunkiness of a web app in general) is that it did awful things to colors — the colors in the ICO files it generated did not match the colors in my source PNG files.
15 Best Responsive Web Design Testing Tools Responsive Web Design is regarded as being the approach which suggests that web design and development should respond to the end-user’s behavior and environment based on their screen size, platform and orientation. Responsiveness consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries. When the end-user switches from their laptop over to their iPad, the website being viewed should automatically switch to accommodate that particular resolution, image size and scripting abilities. In other words, the website should have the technology to automatically respond to the end-user’s preferences. Along with all of the newest devices – also come varying screen resolutions, definitions and orientations. With Responsiveness aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience, modern built web sites must now be able to support basic mobile devices that lack JavaScript. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. — Gavin

Responsive CSS Framework Comparison: Bootstrap, Foundation, Skeleton Bootstrap 4.0.0-alpha is a fairly large update to the framework. It has dropped Less support in favor of Sass, converted from px-based to rem-based sizing, improved its grid system, and dropped IE8 support. Also, all its JS plugins were re-written in ES6, it now uses a customized reset CSS file called Reboot, and offers flexbox support via a Sass boolean variable. In addition to this update, Bootstrap now offers themes at themes.getbootstrap.com. Also, Bootstrap will continue supporting version 3, unlike the dropping of version 2 support after the release of version 3. You can read more here. Foundation 6 is a fairly major update which includes more grid flexibility, custom breakpoints, optional flexbox, and more. Like Bootstrap 4, Flexbox is now toggleable via Sass in Foundation 6. The Sass/CSS has been reworked and consolidated, and there are fewer default styles to override on common elements. Skeleton 2 was updated in December 2014 after remaining mostly unchanged for about three years.
