45 Collectible CSS Shapes

Posted by ashokkumar on Sat, 18 May 2019 10:04:43 +0200

CSS can generate various shapes. Squares and rectangles are easy because they are the natural shapes of the web. Adding width and height, you get the exact size of the rectangle you need. By adding the radius of the border, you can turn the shape into a circle. With enough radius of the border, you can turn the rectangle into a circle and an ellipse.

We can also use:: before and:: after in CSS pseudoelements, which provides us with the possibility of adding two other shapes to the original element. By cleverly using positioning, transformation, and many other techniques, we can create many shapes in CSS with only one HTML element.

Although most of us now use font icons or svg pictures, it seems that using CSS to make icons is not very meaningful, but how to implement some of the techniques and ideas used in these icons is worth learning.

The BUG that may exist after code deployment can not be known in real time. In order to solve these BUGs afterwards, it takes a lot of time to debug the log. By the way, we recommend a useful BUG monitoring tool. Fundebug.
