Kevin...your KZbin channel is literally a beginner to advance CSS course...and it's for free and constantly updated 😀.. Thanks Kev...really really appreciate you.

[@Allformyequine]

TOTALLY AGREED!! :)

[@johnnyjev9840]

😂! Everything I know in css I learned from Kevin's KZbin channel... I'm super grateful 🙌

[@Allformyequine]

@@johnnyjev9840 I would probably stop making money if he quit this channel LOL!

[@8koi245]

his Scrimba course is also free!!

[@rickardelimaa]

12:39 - this is why I listen to all your videos. I think I'm pretty good at CSS, but having you present newer CSS properties keeps me constantly updated. _margin-inline_ and _padding-inline_ are new to me as well. This video felt really pedagogic, even more than usual. Thanks!

[@daleryanaldover6545]

As someone who usually works with CSS for a decade now, keeping up with these new properties and functions are both godsend and a nightmare.

[@ihelpdogs]

*googling "pedagogic"....

[@mediadinger]

"margin-inline" ... "padding-block"... you saved my life !

[@trueberryless]

I want to thank you Kevin because I agree with each goal you discussed in the first few minutes and I also think that it is much better, programming without SVGs as long as it is possible. And you are one of the only people on KZbin knowing how to create anything with only CSS. This is what your channel stands for... Thank you!

[@trueberryless]

Oh, maybe I didn't quite understood what you said... Unfortunately, I don't like using SVGs...

[@linak1909]

Wow! Omg this is amazing, thank you so much! I was making a website for my firend as a practice and I wasted so much time trying to figure out ways to do this diagonal section and nothing was working, but now thanks to this video my firend will get his cool skewed sections design! I am so grateful, this channel is the best!

Hey Kevin, as a beginner I can't thank you enough for the first 8 minutes of this video. So much helpful advise that 99% of the other tutorials/guide would just completely skip. Thanks a lot 🙂

You could flip the after element in the triangle example horizontally as well, that way they would be symmetrical on top and bottom.

[@xenialxerous2441]

@@BryanMaxDobberstein Not at all, my intentions and appreciations for him have always been authentic, since I've known him (via inter webs) as long as since 2014'ish when I myself first got into the web dev world, migrating from Java and C++ programming. I can't say for sure whether he had his own dedicated channel back then, however he was one of the patreons of another awesome channel named "devTips"!

[@eybietie]

pretty cool things. I am really confident with css but some solutions are just so smooth and clean. thanks for the video /cheers

[@worldpeace1822]

Kevin regarding the issue with the rendering when zooming in I suggest trying to transform the image in by 0.5 px in so that there is an overlap… this might do the trick and fix the problem. You might have to adjust the svg vor that.

[@StephenBolger]

Only starting to use custom CSS variables. Setting one for --spike-color that references the one set for --body-bg is interesting. It seems like it complicates things unnecessarily, but I will have to ponder on this one a little longer to see the worth. Overall, great lesson.

Pretty cool stuff. I'm stuck with using clip-path and triangles made from borders. Now I'm gonna try mask-image.

[@nomadshiba]

Thank you Kevin, very cool!

[@nomadshiba]

i think one bad thing about using pseudo elements is if you have two different classes trying to use the same pseudo element, it becomes problematic and thats why we need unlimited pseudo elements like :before(foo) :before(bar) with an id

[@KevinPowell]

I'd love to have something like that :)

Hi Kev, thank you very much for your consistent effort. It's gets a little distracting with the position of your selfi camera view. Please adjust somewhere it don't distract.

[@c-eagle]

Regarding the rendering issues with rotation-transforms... I've been writing a JS/CSS-based dungeon crawler (3D and grid-based like Dungeon Master), and I've had the same rendering issues between textures/walls - only using HTML elements for those, no WebGL or anything, so it works on more devices. And after a lot of frustration, I found a fix by accident: I just added 0.01 to each and every deg-value in rotation-transforms. That was the lowest I could go before the problem would re-appear. So for example, instead of 180deg I'd use 180.01deg. Suddenly I really regretted deleting a CSS-based shading-engine (using gradients with different alpha values to add light/shadows) I developed for 5 weeks prior to noticing this rendering issue...

Kevin, with all these videos you seem to be the kind of man who has his chair/desk setup and sitting position dialed in. Now i have personally tried to follow many KZbin videos about how to sit for extended periods of time without feeling like a grandpa climbing a mountain after each sit. Perhaps i wasn't asking it to the right people, maybe i should've asked a fellow coder. So, mister Kevin sir. Any advice or personal insights on how you deal with this constant risk of back pain? i know it's a bit off topic but i would genuinely appreciate any kind of advice at this point really hahah. P.S. This video was yet again one of those videos i didn't know was going to be so helpful and motivating for my own project, really only clicked because i know the welcoming quality of your videos and also for the nice colors and shapes in the thumbnail :p

[@ShaunLevett]

I often run in to these little rendering issues. I used a skew technique for an angled panel in a project, with the background being a radial gradient. I didn’t want the gradient skewed though, so I made the gradient a child element and skewed it the opposite way so it looked normal again, but Firefox wasn’t having it. Little 1px gaps in the gradient.

First, thank you for all your tutorials, they are so wonderful! I do have one question though. Wouldn't it just be better to use actual images in the background rather than all the gradient and avg imports? Then we wouldn't have to worry about everything breaking if something gets slightly changed, and wouldn't have to worry about creating all those different asset files. Just wondering why we would do all this? I just try to stick with what is easier with all the different browsers and coding. Please correct me on this if I'm off in my concept of the big picture overall. :)

Such a great video! I’m currently stuck on the spikes section when we put in the WebKit mask image. I’m following the video step by step and I’ve looked over my code and it’s the exact same yet when I input the path into the WebKit, it’s not creating the spikes and stays as regular horizontal bars. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😢 any help from anyone figuring out how to deal with this would be great. I’ve never used WebKits before so is it possibly a setting I don’t have set?

[@renrecommends5347]

Actually, they don’t stay as regular bars, they just disappear I’m using Chrome

[@untaoshorts]

I found the solution. The problem: (Chrome don't recognize "mask-image: URL" on computer), The Solution: Create a Chrome browser's shortcut. Right-click on the icon and in properties, edit target to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="C:/ChromeDevSession" and save. Then using Chrome open the page using ctrl+o. NOTE: Do NOT use this shortcut for regular browsing .
