<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/imagehover.min.css">
</head>
  1. Place the following markup in to your HTML document
<figure class="imghvr-fade">
  <img src="#">
  <figcaption>
    // Hover Content
  </figcaption>
</figure>
  1. Edit the URL to your image and add your hover content. Then simply set the imagehover.css class of your choice to the containing figure element. In the example above this has been set to 'imghvr-fade'. A full list of hover effects and their classes can be found here!.

Adding a Link

To link your image, add an empty <a> tag just after the figcaption element.

<figure class="imghvr-fade">
  <img src="#">
  <figcaption>
    // Hover Content
  </figcaption>
  <a href="http://www.imagehover.io"></a>
</figure>

SASS

.scss source files are available if you use Sass as your CSS precompiler. It’s customizable and modular.

Customizing variables

Imagehover.css provides a _custom.scss file for easy overriding of default variables in /scss/_variables.scss. Copy and paste relevant lines from there into the _custom.scss file, modify the values, and recompile your Sass to change our default values. Be sure to remove the !default flag from override values.

For example, to change out the background-color and color for the <figcaption>, you'd do the following:

// Imagehover.css overrides
//
// Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values without modifying source files.

$figcaption-bg:  #1a480a; // Green
$text-color:     #9C3636; // Red

Variable List

You can find and customize these variables in the _variables.scss file.
