What steps can be taken to ensure the Instagram logo remains visible even when it is being hovered over?

Struggling to incorporate a social media icon on my website, I am facing an issue where the Instagram icon outline disappears on hover due to the gradient styling in CSS3.

Below is my current code:

.social-icons li.instagram a {
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: #F2F2F2 /* This is for the default "gray" background */
    url(http://www.example.com/images/social/instagram.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}
.social-icons li.instagram a:hover {
    background-color: #f09433;
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%, #e6683c 25%, #dc2743 50%, #cc2366 75%, #bc1888 100%); 
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%,#e6683c 25%,#dc2743 50%,#cc2366 75%,#bc1888 100%); 
    background: linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%,#e6683c 25%,#dc2743 50%,#cc2366 75%,#bc1888 100%); 
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f09433', endColorstr='#bc1888',GradientType=1 );
}

The Facebook logo, similar to Instagram, works fine except it uses a solid color (background: #3b5998;) instead of a gradient in WebKit. The Facebook icon functions correctly, turning blue with the "F" in the center when hovered over.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to achieve similar functionality for the Instagram icon?

Answer №1

After some experimentation, I discovered that the gradients were being treated as images. To achieve the desired result, I decided to overlay two 'images'.

Here is the final code I ended up with:

.social-icons li.instagram a {
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: #F2F2F2 url(http://www.myprojectsite.com/images/social/instagram.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}
.social-icons li.instagram a:hover {
    background-color: #f09433;
    background-image: url('http://www.myprojectsite.com/images/social/instagram.png'), linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%,#e6683c 25%,#dc2743 50%,#cc2366 75%,#bc1888 100%);
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f09433', endColorstr='#bc1888',GradientType=1 );
    background-image: url('http://www.myprojectsite.com/images/social/instagram.png'), -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%, #e6683c 25%, #dc2743 50%, #cc2366 75%, #bc1888 100%); 
    background-image: url('http://www.myprojectsite.com/images/social/instagram.png'), -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%,#e6683c 25%,#dc2743 50%,#cc2366 75%,#bc1888 100%);
}
