Blinking text Effect

Customisation
  • Hello 🙂

    small blinking text effect that I put on the name of my forum:

    here the code :

    :root {
         --site-title-blink: #CCCCCC;
    }
    
    /*Blink text effect */
    @keyframes text-blink {
        0%,
        20%,
        22%,
        25%,
        28%,
        55%,
        80%,
        100% {
            text-shadow: 0 0 2px #000,
                0 0 10px var(--site-title-blink),
                0 0 5px var(--site-title-blink),
                0 0 25px var(--site-title-blink);
            opacity: 1;
            color: var(--site-title-blink);
        }
    
        21%,
        24%,
        56% {
            opacity: 0.2;
            text-shadow: none;
        }
    }
    
    .navbar-default .navbar-brand {
        animation: 0.5s text-blink 1.5s infinite alternate;
        animation-iteration-count: 5;
        animation-duration: 1000ms;
    }

  • @DownPW looks great ! Has that “broken neon light” look that you see in films. When I saw the title of this post, I instantly thought of the flashing text everyone had on their website in the 90’s and early 00’s but I like this effect a lot.

    It’s exactly that, kind of old neon signs of bar or pubs a bit cyberpunk too 😉

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets:

    So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object?

    It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train 🙂

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function

    document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); })

    The CSS for start is below

    .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; }

    And this is the corresponding keyframe

    @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } }

    It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @phenomlab Thx again for the reply.

    Well I am sure that it will be well worth the wait. 🙂 I will watch with anticipation. For now it is OK. Just small minor irritations I fell in a lot of NodeBB ‘default’ things.

    @phenomlab said in NodeBB changing color of the text:

    @marusaky This ought to to it

    a.permalink, a.permalink:active, a.permalink:focus, a.permalink:hover { color: #ffffff; }

    works great, thanks a lot

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu:

    @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site

    aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png

    Which presents this

    77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png

    Very interesting…

    I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum.

    Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
