Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Zoom with Dark Overlay Image
The image pushes in while a dark tint settles over it and a label appears in the middle. The go-to hover for photo grids that lead to a detail page.
Also known as: image dim hover, overlay on 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.
