Harbour Lights
Mira Vale
Music Player Card Hover
A track row where the cover art dims, a play button springs up over it and the little equalizer comes alive. Each bar has its own duration, so the bounce never looks like a loop.
Also known as: music card hover css, album card play button, spotify style card hover.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
