Placing the Cloud Icon at the Center Right of the Navigation Border Background

I am in the process of creating a vertical navigation bar and I have the intention to include a cloud icon that is centered at the right border, positioned directly on the background line.

<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
  <div class="cloud-icon">
    <svg>...</svg>
  </div>
</nav>

You can find an example of this implementation on this code-pen link. I would be grateful for any feedback as I have put significant effort into making it work.

Despite my attempts with flex-box, css-grid, and margins, I am facing challenges with positioning the element correctly on the right side and ensuring its responsiveness on mobile devices.

Answer №1

I made changes to the svg view box in order to center it

:root {
  --beige: #d9d9d9;
}

.contents {
  height: 100vh;
  width: 115%;
  margin: 0;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr auto;
}

body {
  margin: 0;
}

nav {
  background-color: var(--beige);
  width: 50%;
  display: flex;
}

nav ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
}

nav li {
  padding: 3%;
}

nav a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 1rem;
  letter-spacing: 11px;
}

.cloud {
  grid-column: 2;
  align-self: center;
}
