A clean and classy CSS framework. | Workless Centering in CSS: A Complete Guide Centering things in CSS is the poster child of CSS complaining. Why does it have to be so hard? They jeer. I think the issue isn't that it's difficult to do, but in that there so many different ways of doing it, depending on the situation, it's hard to know which to reach for. So let's make it a decision tree and hopefully make it easier. I need to center... Horizontally Is it inline or inline-* elements (like text or links)? You can center inline elements horizontally, within a block-level parent element, with just: This will work for inline, inline-block, inline-table, inline-flex, etc. Is it a block level element? You can center a block-level element by giving it margin-left and margin-right of auto (and it has a set width, otherwise it would be full width and wouldn't need centering). This will work no matter what the width of the block level element you're centering, or the parent. Note that you can't float an element to the center. Is there more than one block level element?

Please Stop "Fixing" Font Smoothing - The Usability Post I wrote two posts on the topic of WebKit font smoothing before, but unfortunately the situation has grown worse since then. In allowing the designer to pick their own font smoothing mode with the -webkit-font-smoothing CSS property, WebKit developers have opened up an opportunity for typographic abuse, namely, the disabling of subpixel font rendering. As I mentioned before, WebKit gives designers three font smoothing modes: Nothing, which gives you jagged fontsSubpixel-rendering, i.e. the default font smoothing mode that is used for most other stuff on your desktop OS (mobile devices don’t use subpixel rendering due to having to suport both vertical and horizontal screen orientations)Antialiased, which disables subpixel-rendering and smoothes the font on the level of the pixel, as opposed to the subpixel. Why the choice? Abusing antialiasing But upon closer inspection, antialiased text is always blurrier than subpixel rendered text. It’s not a “fix” Why do designers keep misusing it?

Free business cards templates VOL-2:: On-line Editor printable PDF, business cards designer online ---0 Inline SVG vs Icon Fonts [CAGEMATCH] | CSS-Tricks If you're building an icon system for a site, you have some options. If you know the icons need to be raster images, then you'll likely be using CSS sprites. If the icons will be vector images (much more common these days), you have some options. Two of those options are using inline SVG and using icon fonts. Let's compare. Icons are Vector There are big advantages to vector icons: resizable up and down without losing quality, extra sharp on retina displays, and small file size among them. In a recent personal example, while converting some icons from fonts to SVG on CodePen, some of the font icons were noticeably less sharp than the ones I converted over. CSS Control The big win for inline SVG here is probably multi-color icons.

Icon System with SVG Sprites I’ve been a big proponent of icon fonts. Lots of sites really need a system for icons, and icon fonts offer a damn fine system. However, I think assuming you’re good with IE 9+, using inline SVG and the <use> element to reference an icon is a superior system. First let’s cover how it works. A nice way to handle your icons is to have a folder full of .svg files. They can be colored, not colored, multiple shapes, sizes, whatever. You can let Illustrator (or whatever) save it however, with all the cruft that comes along for the ride: Combine the .svg files You can manually do this if you want. It should just be an <svg> tag, with a <defs> tag (which just means you are defining stuff to use later), and then a bunch of <g> (group) tags. Again you can do that by hand, but of course that’s a bit laborious. If you’ve never used Grunt, you can do it. You can install it with: npm install grunt-svgstore --save-dev Make sure the task is available with: grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgstore'); <! Browser Support
