I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to use The Code Player's CSS3 Squircles example to create an iOS-7-style app icon on my website (testing in the Safari browser). The example uses pseudo tags to clip the background color, whereas I need to crop around an <img>
. In case you're not familiar, a squircle is like a rounded-rect, but with the sides rounding beyond the corner radius, like so:
.icons img {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 24%;
}
.icons a {
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
/*Now we will create fish-eye shapes using pseudo elements and clip them to add a curve to the sides of the icons*/
.icons a:before, .icons a:after {
content: '';
position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
background: inherit;
border-radius: 100%; /*circle*/
/*time to transform the circle into fish-eye shape. iOS7 style now.*/
-webkit-transform: scaleX(2) scaleY(1.05);
transform: scaleX(2) scaleY(1.05);
/*clipping the left and right sides - 17px from the left and right*/
clip: rect(0, 66px, 100px, 34px);
/*pushing it behind the icon*/
z-index: -1;
}
/*duplicating the :before element and rotating it 90deg and swapping the X/Y transforms*/
.icons a:after {
-webkit-transform: scaleY(2) scaleX(1.05) rotate(90deg);
}
<div class="icons">
<a href="#"><img src="http://lorempixel.com/256/256/abstract/2/" /></a>
</div>
