So I've made a custom cursor for my next website. In Chrome it works as it should but in Safari it's laggy...
I've tried several things like using the webkit stuff but it still doesn't work.
here is the Codepen
html
<div class="cursor"></div>
css
body{
background: #fff;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
.cursor{
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
transition-duration:0.3s;
-webkit-transition-duration:0.3s;
-ms-transition-duration:0.3s;
-moz-transition-duration:0.3s;
transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
-webkit-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
-moz-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
background-color: #fff;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
border-radius: 50%;
pointer-events: none;
}
js
let cursor = document.querySelector('.cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', moveCursor);
function moveCursor(e) {
let x = e.clientX;
let y = e.clientY;
cursor.style.transform = `translate(calc(${x}px - 50%), calc(${y}px - 50%))`
}
I've had nothing but trouble with dynamic transform values in safari. It seems they calculate positions in the window space a little different than other browsers. No source on that one, just my own trials and tribulations.
I would suggest you change your approach, and use top and left values.
I tested this in safari and it's miles more responsive.
let cursor = document.querySelector('.cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', moveCursor);
function moveCursor(e) {
let x = e.clientX;
let y = e.clientY;
cursor.style.top = `${y}px`
cursor.style.left = `${x}px`
}
body {
background: #fff;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
.cursor {
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
transition-duration: 0.3s;
transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33, .81, .66, .95);
background-color: #fff;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
border-radius: 50%;
pointer-events: none;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
<div class="cursor"></div>
I kept the translate(-50%, -50%) as a permanent value on the cursor, and only updated top and left with javascript.
As a side note, the vendor prefixes are not really necessary for those properties. No need to add them. https://caniuse.com/css-transitions
The translate calc in you js is forcing the cursor to the center.
The transition delay is too long preventing it for following the cursor.
Codepen: https://codepen.io/diomedefan/pen/RwMaYWe
let cursor = document.querySelector('.cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', moveCursor);
function moveCursor(e) {
let x = e.clientX;
let y = e.clientY;
cursor.style.transform = `translate(calc(${x}px), calc(${y}px))`
}
body{
background: #fff;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
.cursor{
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
transition-duration:0.2s;
-webkit-transition-duration:0.2s;
-ms-transition-duration:0.2s;
-moz-transition-duration:0.2s;
transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
-webkit-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
-moz-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(.33,.81,.66,.95);
background-color: #fff;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
border-radius: 50%;
pointer-events: none;
}
<div class="cursor"></div>
The answer for my particular case was pretty interesting.
Instead of using css transitions I used a lerp function in javascript:
var mouseX = window.innerWidth / 2,
mouseY = window.innerHeight / 2;
var $ = jQuery
var circle = {
el: $('.cursor'),
x: window.innerWidth / 2,
y: window.innerHeight / 2,
w: 25,
h: 25,
update: function() {
l = this.x - this.w / 2;
t = this.y - this.h / 2;
this.el.css({
'transform': 'translate3d(' + l + 'px, ' + t + 'px, 0)'
});
}
}
$(window).mousemove(function(e) {
mouseX = e.clientX;
mouseY = e.clientY;
})
setInterval(move, 1000 / 60)
function move() {
circle.x = lerp(circle.x, mouseX, 0.1);
circle.y = lerp(circle.y, mouseY, 0.1);
circle.update()
}
function lerp(start, end, amt) {
return (1 - amt) * start + amt * end
}
.cursor {
position: absolute;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
transition: height 0.3s ease-in-out, width 0.3s ease-in-out;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 999;
background-color: #fff;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
border-radius: 50%;
pointer-events: none;
}
body {
background: #fff;
}
<div class="cursor"></div>

Goal
Make the glare layer on all visible children like a clip-path
––––––––––––
Heads Up
Child elements can be any shape with any animation
Child elements can be any svg shape with any kind of animation attached to it
So glare must be automatically dynamic and conforming
––––––––––––
What I've Done
I create an apple TV effect…
But the glare only works as a box on top of other boxes.
The glare does not conform to other shapes
Example Below
––––––––––––
What I Can't Use
Canvas - No Canvas Please - I'm not familiar with it
Clip-Path - Because child elements can be anything overflowing outside of the glare
––––––––––––
What I'm looking for
Some kind of magical CSS line of code that makes the glare layer conform to all elements under it… like a normal glare would work.
Is this possible?
Is there some way Javascript can glare it automatically?
Is there some kind of mix-blend-mode I can use to make the glare just work?
Or is this something that is just impossible?
Glare should not look like a box
––––––––––––
What I tried
I tried to scale the glare layer to scale(1.1) and use some mix-blend-mode
But I couldn't figure out how to make it work.

I'm trying to get a pivoted forearm to point at the links that are being hovered over.
It works on the actual website I'm making it on but the pointing isn't quite accurate (it's nearly there) - I think it's perhaps because the code is designed to pivot using the center of the image (ie an arrow) and I'm using CSS transform-origin: center left; to force it otherwise?
I've done a fair bit of research but I can't get past this last hurdle - How do I adjust the JS to make the pointing rotation accurate?
Here is the setup I'm using:
$(function() {
var img = $('.arrow');
// Store clock wise degrees of all elements
var clockwiseElemDegrees = {};
var currentArrowAngle = 0;
// Treat initial position of arrow as element 0
var prevElem = '0';
clockwiseElemDegrees['0'] = 0;
if (img.length > 0) {
var offset = img.offset();
var imgX = offset.left + (img.width() / 2);
var imgY = offset.top + (img.height() / 2);
// Get element degrees
$('.animation-trigger').each(function() {
var element = $(this);
var elementPosition = element.offset();
var elementX = elementPosition.left + (element.width() / 2);
var elementY = elementPosition.top + (element.height() / 2);
var radians = Math.atan2(elementY - imgY, elementX - imgX);
var degrees = radians * (180 / Math.PI);
clockwiseElemDegrees[element.attr('elem')] = (degrees < 0) ? (degrees + 360) : degrees;
});
$('.animation-trigger').mouseenter(function(event) {
// Check if arrow should be rotated clockwise
var clockwiseDegreesForNextElem = clockwiseElemDegrees[$(this).attr('elem')];
var clockwiseDegreesForPrevElem = clockwiseElemDegrees[prevElem];
if (clockwiseDegreesForNextElem < clockwiseDegreesForPrevElem)
clockwiseDegreesForNextElem += 360;
var clockwiseRotationRequired = clockwiseDegreesForNextElem - clockwiseDegreesForPrevElem;
if (clockwiseRotationRequired <= 180) {
// Do clockwise rotation
currentArrowAngle += clockwiseRotationRequired;
} else {
// Do anticlockwise rotation
currentArrowAngle -= (360 - clockwiseRotationRequired);
}
prevElem = $(this).attr('elem');
img.css('-moz-transform', 'rotate(' + currentArrowAngle + 'deg)')
.css('-webkit-transform', 'rotate(' + currentArrowAngle + 'deg)')
.css('-o-transform', 'rotate(' + currentArrowAngle + 'deg)')
.css('-ms-transform', 'rotate(' + currentArrowAngle + 'deg)');
});
}

You are rotating the image from the center left, but you are calculating the rotation angle based on the position from the center both horizontally and vertically. Changing to
var imgX = offset.left
seems to improve it for me.
I am having trouble changing my custom cursor width and height when I hover on the img element.
I tried using both css and javascript for the effect to work but it won't. When I change my function from "onmouseover" to "onclick" it works perfectly fine.
const cursor = document.querySelector('#cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', e => {
cursor.setAttribute("style", "top: " + (e.clientY - 10) + "px; left: " + (e.clientX - 10) + "px;")
})
/*
/////Second way with javascript/////
var cursor = document.getElementById('cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e){
var x = e.clientX;
var y = e.clientY;
cursor.style.left= x + "px";
cursor.style.top= y + "px";
});
*/
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("cursor").style.width = "100px";
document.getElementById("cursor").style.height = "100px";
}
body {
margin: 0;
height: 100vh;
background: rgb(27, 27, 27);
}
#cursor {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
border: 2px solid gray;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
transition-duration: 100ms;
transition-timing-function: ease-out;
}
img {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
}
img:hover #cursor {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
<div id="cursor"></div>
<img onmouseover="myFunction()" src="navbar.svg" alt="navbar">
How about this class toggle. Works.
Always preferable to use addEventListener everywhere
const cursor = document.querySelector('#cursor');
document.addEventListener('mousemove', e => {
cursor.setAttribute("style", "top: " + (e.clientY - 10) + "px; left: " + (e.clientX - 10) + "px;")
})
const hoverIt = e => cursor.classList.toggle("hover");
document.getElementById("navbarimg").addEventListener("mouseover",hoverIt);
document.getElementById("navbarimg").addEventListener("mouseover",hoverIt);
#cursor {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
border: 2px solid gray;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
transition-duration: 100ms;
transition-timing-function: ease-out;
}
#cursor.hover {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
img {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
}
img:hover #cursor {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
<div id="cursor"></div>
<img id="navbarimg" src="navbar.svg" alt="navbar">
So the css solution here will not work as the #cursor is not a child of the img. You could have it a child of the anchor but that is probably the wrong approach anyway as it is not extendable.
You should probably change the logic to use an eventListener for simplicity...
document.getElementById("testImg").addEventListener("mouseover", function( event ) {
alert("over"); // Do your resizing here and ensure the image has the matching id
})
The question is almost the same as this: how to rotate the shadow effect with CSS?
But my question is a bit more complicated: i use "filter: drop-shadow" because object that i want to have shadow effect is composite - it consists of two primitive figures.
I achieved the desired effect with JS - just rotating the main object and then calculating drop-shadow direction. But the shadow blinks on rerendering, it is visible at least in Chrome.
(function() {
const RAD_TO_DEG = 180/Math.PI,
DEG_TO_RAD = Math.PI/180;
var arrow = document.getElementsByClassName('arrow')[0],
arrow_shadow_color = 'rgba(50,50,50,0.25)',
previous_x = 0,
previous_y = 0,
shadow_angle = -45,
shadow_blur_radius = 5,
shadow_offset = 15,
shadow_string_right = 'px ' + shadow_blur_radius + 'px ' + arrow_shadow_color + ')',
amount_of_attempts_to_skip = 10,
n = 0;
dropShadow(180);
document.addEventListener('mousemove', mouseMove);
function mouseMove(e) {
n++;
if (n%amount_of_attempts_to_skip === 0) {
var angle = Math.atan2( previous_y - e.pageY, e.pageX - previous_x ) * RAD_TO_DEG;
arrow.style.transform = 'rotate(' + (180 - ~~angle) + 'deg)';
dropShadow(angle);
previous_x = e.pageX;
previous_y = e.pageY;
}
}
function dropShadow(angle) {
angle = 180 - shadow_angle + angle;
var x = ( shadow_offset * Math.cos( angle * DEG_TO_RAD) ).toFixed(2),
y = ( shadow_offset * Math.sin( angle * DEG_TO_RAD) ).toFixed(2);
arrow.style.filter = 'drop-shadow(' + x + 'px ' + y + shadow_string_right;
}
})();

So the question is: is it possible to create a shadow effect for a composite object with CSS and then rotate it so that it keeps the absolute angle with CSS?
Or maybe at least with JS but some other way but manually setting x and y filter offsets.
UPD: i just realized that there is just no need to dynamically apply drop-shadow style - it can be applied to a container: there will be no rerendering flashes, no need to apply some techniques to smoothen the shadow movement, no need to manually calculate shadow offset, that's it. I answered my own question 'cuz it was silly.

All of these will be rendered automatically.
So the answer for "is it possible to create a shadow effect for a composite object with CSS and then rotate it so that it keeps the absolute angle with CSS?" is Yes, it is possible: just apply drop-shadow filter to the container of the element that you want to have a shadow effect.
Stackoverflow, sorry for asking silly questions.
Shadow blinking is out of bug. I fixed your thing at my CodePen and below. Your project's arrow will get dynamic shadow with only CSS if you create pseudo element which will move with cursor.
That flickering of the shadow of 3D objects upon cursor move is browser specific long known CSS related kind of bug with fixes available everywhere. You only needed to know that matter. You can search StackOverflow and perform web search now. Two ways has minor difference in CSS. But both actually works. I have not changed your javascript.
You can read/see W3C docs, CSS tricks's this, CSS trick's this,W3 School and this code pen for CSS pseudo element drag-able drop shadow.
For your case I modified this :

transform: rotateY(60deg);

const RAD_TO_DEG = 180/Math.PI,
DEG_TO_RAD = Math.PI/180;
var arrow = document.getElementsByClassName('arrow')[0],
arrow_shadow_color = 'rgba(50,50,50,0.25)',
previous_x = 0,
previous_y = 0,
shadow_angle = -45,
shadow_blur_radius = 5,
shadow_offset = 15,
shadow_string_right = 'px ' + shadow_blur_radius + 'px ' + arrow_shadow_color + ')',
amount_of_attempts_to_skip = 10,
n = 0;
dropShadow(180);
document.addEventListener('mousemove', mouseMove);
function mouseMove(e) {
n++;
if (n%amount_of_attempts_to_skip === 0) {
var angle = Math.atan2( previous_y - e.pageY, e.pageX - previous_x ) * RAD_TO_DEG;
arrow.style.transform = 'rotate(' + (180 - ~~angle) + 'deg)';
dropShadow(angle);
previous_x = e.pageX;
previous_y = e.pageY;
}
}
function dropShadow(angle) {
angle = 180 - shadow_angle + angle;
var x = ( shadow_offset * Math.cos( angle * DEG_TO_RAD) ).toFixed(2),
y = ( shadow_offset * Math.sin( angle * DEG_TO_RAD) ).toFixed(2);
arrow.style.filter = 'drop-shadow(' + x + 'px ' + y + shadow_string_right;
}
})();

Depends on what kind of solution you are looking for. If you need a lot of elements with shadows, it's better to use a prerendered image. Browser won't spend time calculating all the shadows and rotations for each element.
If you absolutely need a shadow on a composite object with CSS, use box-shadow. There is a hacky way to make a triangle with the shadow. It's much better and efficient to use an image though!
Here by rotating the wrapper element we rotate all of its children and automatically their box-shadow:
(matrix value is taken from the computed style)
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#keyframes rotate {
0% {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
100% {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
.arrow {
top: 150px;
left: 50px;
position: relative;
display: block;
width: 280px;
animation: rotate 5s infinite linear;
}
.arrow div {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
}
.arrow-body {
width: 251px;
height: 25px;
top: 16px;
background: green;
box-shadow: 1px 5px 0 0 black;
}
.arrow-head {
width: 0;
height: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: -84px;
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 1em solid black;
border-color: transparent transparent green green;
transform-origin: 0 0;
transform: rotate(225deg);
box-shadow: -5px 1px 0 0 black;
}
#log {
font-family: monospace;
}
</style>
<script>
setInterval(function(){
var a = document.getElementById("arrow");
var l = document.getElementById("log");
l.innerHTML = ".arrow { transform: " + window.getComputedStyle(a, null).getPropertyValue("transform") + " }";
}, 10);

In the following codepen, the creator has made a material ripple effect. However there is an issue where if I add another div right next to the original the ripple will leak into it.
What should I do to change to code so that the ripple will only be contained in the div that it was activated on?
I have tried editing the JS so that the click function only activates for divs with the class ".rippleDiv" but that did not work either.

HTML
<div class="rippleDiv">Button</div>
<div>Button 2</div>
CSS
div {
width: 220px;
height: 120px;
background: #222;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
line-height: 120px;
font-size: 40px;
}
/* Ripple */
.ripple {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
transform: scale(0);
position: absolute;
opacity: 1;
}
.rippleEffect {
animation: rippleDrop .6s linear;
}
#keyframes rippleDrop {
100% {
transform: scale(2);
opacity: 0;
}
}
JS
$(".rippleDiv").click(function (e) {
// Remove any old one
$(".ripple").remove();
// Setup
var posX = $(this).offset().left,
posY = $(this).offset().top,
buttonWidth = $(this).width(),
buttonHeight = $(this).height();
// Add the element
$(this).prepend("<span class='ripple'></span>");
// Make it round!
if(buttonWidth >= buttonHeight) {
buttonHeight = buttonWidth;
} else {
buttonWidth = buttonHeight;
}
// Get the center of the element
var x = e.pageX - posX - buttonWidth / 2;
var y = e.pageY - posY - buttonHeight / 2;
// Add the ripples CSS and start the animation
$(".ripple").css({
width: buttonWidth,
height: buttonHeight,
top: y + 'px',
left: x + 'px'
}).addClass("rippleEffect");
});
The basic answer is that the 'ripple' element needs to be contained inside a div that has overflow:hidden set.
However to get this right, a number of small changes need to be made so that both the original button content, as well as the ripple itself, are correctly positioned, mainly using divs with the correct positioning attributes set.
So - here are the changes I made to get this to work: http://codepen.io/kitr/pen/xgLQpM
HTML:
<div>Button</div>
<div>Button 2</div>
CSS:
div {
width: 220px;
height: 120px;
background: #222;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
line-height: 120px;
font-size: 40px;
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
}
/* Ripple */
.ripple {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
transform: scale(0);
opacity: 1;
}
.rippleEffect {
animation: rippleDrop .6s linear;
position: absolute;
}
#keyframes rippleDrop {
100% {
transform: scale(2);
opacity: 0;
}
}
Javascript:
$("div").click(function (e) {
// Remove any old one
$(".ripple").remove();
// Setup
var posX = $(this).offset().left,
posY = $(this).offset().top,
buttonWidth = $(this).width(),
buttonHeight = $(this).height();
// Add the element
$(this).append("<div class='ripple'></div>");
// Make it round!
if(buttonWidth >= buttonHeight) {
buttonHeight = buttonWidth;
} else {
buttonWidth = buttonHeight;
}
// Get the center of the element
var x = e.pageX - posX - buttonWidth / 2;
var y = e.pageY - posY - buttonHeight / 2;
// Add the ripples CSS and start the animation
$(".ripple").css({
width: buttonWidth,
height: buttonHeight,
top: y + 'px',
left: x + 'px'
}).addClass("rippleEffect");
});
