Adding a unique touch to your website can be achieved by incorporating a triangle 'dog-ear' effect to the corners of divs. On Twitter, this effect is visible when you retweet or favourite a tweet, as a little coloured triangle with an icon appears in the corner of the tweet container. Attempting to replicate this on your site using the CSS and sprite sheet from Twitter may not go as planned. If you're facing difficulties in getting the triangle to appear, there are certain adjustments you can make.
The code snippet borrowed from Twitter includes:
.dogear {
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
display:none;
width:24px;
height:24px;
}
.retweeted .dogear {
background-position:0 -450px;
}
.favorited .dogear {
background-position:-30px -450px;
}
.retweeted.favorited .dogear {
background-position:-60px -450px;
}
.retweeted .dogear,.favorited .dogear,.retweeted.favorited .dogear{
display:block;
}
i {
background-image: url("../sprite.png") !important;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:text-top;
background-position:0px 0px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
To implement this effect in your HTML, use:
<i class="dogear"></i>
If you customize the sprite sheet URI and modify the class names while adding some new ones, you can create a similar yet distinctive effect on your site. Experiment with tweaking the CSS properties for a personalized touch!
I hope this helps! :)
