Turning all raster icons into CSS3?
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi, I really like your icon set and thought that it would be a good idea to convert those icons (32x32 rasters) into CSS3. An example of this is at http://jsbin.com/ivonof/1.
Some people (me) don't want to use images nor fonts but do everything in code. I found a neat "Image to CSS3" converter and thought I'd convert some of your icons. It turned out pretty well. Of course, this will never be the same great quality as images or fonts (although with higher dimension [say... 64x64 or 128x128] it might be good enough quality, however it will still be as pixelated as an image when zoomed in; icon fonts don't do that). Another disadvantage of CSS3 Icons is the resizability, or rather the lack of it; once you convert an image into CSS3 it stays that way, I don't think there is any way to resize it. Both rasters and fonts obviously have that ability. BUT; I made a little study and it seems like CSS3 Icons are faster than raster icons or font icons. Check it out here.
Hope this helps.

Hey Rafal, I'm sorry - I didn't see your message until now. Apologies. I've been working on something along those lines - I should have something significant to show in the coming weeks/months.
Hi, no problem. Glad to hear it. Have a nice day!
