Divtober Day 14: Fancy

The word of the day is "fancy"... so here's a cartoon of a fancy-looking British gentleman with a hat, a monocle, and an umbrella:


There's a second element (not used in the drawing) with a link to a YouTube video of how it was coded (although it is a bit tough to follow with things "jumping around"):

*After recording the video, I changed the code a little. The image will look the same, but the code is a bit different (using the short notation) as mentioned in the comments below.


I did a quick second version with the man holding a cup of tea with the pinkie out:

I'm too old... Is "peng" a thing? I thought they were asking if it was a PNG 😳

why you always set the gradient, position and sizes using their properties ? πŸ€” I found it difficult to manage that way.

Why not using the syntax background:gradient position / size , ... ?

I updated it following the shorthand notation. I guess it still takes some time to get used to it, but at the moment I have mixed feelings about it: It is definitely cleaner and more organized than having the background images, sizes, and positions separated... but at the same time, I find it more difficult to follow, especially for people that may not be used to that notation (like me πŸ˜“).

Yes for sure it will be difficult if you are already used to the longhand one. You are not the only one by the way, Lynn also use that notation. I don't know how you can easily find the position or the size for each gradient .. It would take me forever to find the correct one πŸ˜–

Also, this made me remember one reason why I didn't do the shorthand notation more often: I don't know why, I would expect "image size / position" (or "image size position") instead of "image position / size" and it puts me off a little.

Because I'm a dodo and got used to the long notation 😳

I will try the shorthand notation, it will help making things easier and save me some time looking for things. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm so smart that I changed the original without realizing I hadn't forked it before 🀦
