AtoZ CSS Screencast: The Hover Pseudo Class

This screencast is a part of our AtoZ CSS Series. You can find other entries to the series here.

Hover is a pseudo class and can be used to style state.

The hover state is active when a user's mouse enters the bounding box of an element and is inactive when the user's mouse leaves it.

In this episode, we’ll look at the :hover pseudo-class on text links and cover some of the other link pseudo classes as well. We’ll also look at some of the downsides of hover and some workarounds for non-mouse users. Finally we’ll create a CSS dropdown menu triggered by hover and enhanced with jQuery for touch devices.

Designed by Few (Competition, Event)

Awesome horror-themed One Page website announcing the new ‘Designed by Few’ competition and party hosted by the ‘Made by Few’ conference. Readers often ask what it takes to crack our “Most Loved” award category – this is a great reference to that extra bit of effort that makes all the difference. To align with the gore theme – your cursor transforms into a bloody knife, eerie audio subtly starts to play as you scroll, being a design conference the desktop “murder scene” is of course a designer setup with blood smeared tools, great choice with the Neo-Noire heading font that aligns with bloody brush stokes/smears and the blood splatter form focus is a lovely touch. Lastly, the comp is hosted by the ‘Made by Few’ conference, their actual website is the screenshot seen within the intro desktop aerial shot. Bravo!

The Eight Arms 8-bit Games (Competition, Event)

To celebrate the 2016 Rio Olympics, the team from Eight Arms decided to make their own event called ‘The Eight Arms 8-bit Games’. The game is of course hosted online in a wonderfully fun One Page website that pays homage to the classic arcade games we grew to love. The execution is brilliant. Also nice little touch using a pixel font called ‘Press Start 2P‘:)

Jan Losert (Competition, Event)

Lovely One Page portfolio redesign that fills a large screen well for UI designer, Jan Losert. The Single Page website features a slick load animation, a super subtle parallax effect as you start to scroll and great use of whitespace with big clean typography. Make sure you resize your browser to see the attention to detail on mobile resolution – a completely different header design. Lastly, what a lovely touch with that custom 404 page with a different photo of himself. Great to see Jan stick to the One Page format since we featured him back in 2014!

Trump Cushion (Competition, Event)

Hilarious but seriously well executed One Pager selling an inflatable ‘Trump Cushion’ – yes a whoopee cushion with Donald Trump‘s face on it. The checkout process is slick and adapts perfectly from the biggest to smallest screens. Great to know 100% of the proceeds go to charity and the related Donald quotes (towards each charity) are such a nice touch to the whole concept. Well played to all involved.
