๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Zoom Call Matrix โ€“ A Light-to-Dark CSS Intranet Surprise

Frontend Challenge CSS Art Submission

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space

What I Built

For this challenge, I recreated a familiar remote work scene โ€” the classic Zoom video call matrix โ€” using only HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript.

But I didnโ€™t stop at layout.

I made the monitor itself interactive:

๐Ÿ’ก Double-clicking the screen toggles dark mode โ€” like dimming the lights in a real meeting room.

This isnโ€™t just a CSS layout. Itโ€™s a micro-moment for workplace UI โ€” familiar, fun, and frictionless.

โœจ What It Does

  • ๐ŸŽจ CSS Grid layout with 4 avatar placeholders
  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Monitor, stand, and base built from scratch with divs
  • ๐ŸŒ— Dark mode switch triggered by double-click (or Enter key)
  • โ™ฟ Keyboard navigable + screen reader friendly
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Responsive and zero dependencies

Journey

The goal wasnโ€™t just to draw boxes โ€” it was to build a component that feels alive.

So instead of a toggle button, I let users interact with the thing theyโ€™re looking at: the monitor.

It was a solo project
