Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Reflection Image Hover
A photo standing on a glossy floor, with a faded mirror image under it. On hover the photo lifts and the reflection drops away and dims, the way a real one would. Uses a flipped copy and a mask.
Also known as: mirror reflection css, image reflection effect, glossy floor reflection.

}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.
