Overlay hiding stars

Hey y'all! I've run into a general CSS/design problem that I'm kinda stumped on solving. In the image the red circles are highlighting the star(s) in the constellation that are overlaid by my absolute positioned elements and therefore are uninteractable without stretching to some insane dimensions. Any suggestions? I've thought about maybe adding a margin to the image but that just makes the scrolling even worse :(

Maybe add a hover zone near the top that makes the overlay appear temporarily? It could fade out after a few seconds if not interacted with.

EthckOP•4y ago

So it's not very intuitive but the "Boons spent on Other" line also has a hover listener. Any idea if you can have nested hovers like that? Additionally, I just thought about what if there was a button that collapsed/expanded it? Would that work?

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

Yeah, I think you can Yes, I think it would also work vote

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

Unrelated, but I think you should add some padding to the left part of the overlay

EthckOP•4y ago

Hmm, well those are certainly some ideas to work with then. Thanks @arcanistzed !

CSS is not my strong suit lol

EthckOP•4y ago

Do you mean for the text?

EthckOP•4y ago

here's a better picture of that It's inside of a tidy5e sheet

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

I mean the entire box which has all of those labels and input fields

EthckOP•4y ago

Even more padding???

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

Just around this part, yes

EthckOP•4y ago

Wait, padding for the inside of the box or on the outside?

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

Padding is on the inside; margin is on the outside

EthckOP•4y ago

🤦

EthckOP•4y ago

With 5px? Is that good or do you recommend more?

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

It's good like that, but you should probably avoid using fixed values. I usually use em, vh, vw, or just a percentage. Try 1% for padding, maybe? It lets it be more dynamic when you use it on different sized screens or when resizing the window Keep in mind that I'm also not a CSS expert, having just started development in general

EthckOP•4y ago

So it looks like either way I'm going I need to make a collapsible field for this. Any advice on making things collapse? Most collapsing I've done was with summary and details lol

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

Yeah, that works well. Maybe try something like this, if you want a simple alternative https://github.com/arcanistzed/toggle-banner/blob/main/scripts/module.js The scaling and transition in the CSS make it much more dynamic https://github.com/arcanistzed/toggle-banner/blob/main/styles/module.css

EthckOP•4y ago

Seems simple enough. Your "commands" if you will are based on the logo, what would you recommend for my use case? Add small button to display it?

Clemente•4y ago

You can't add that info on its own panel outside the image frame?

EthckOP•4y ago

I'm not entirely sure what you mean... I'll post a more full picture for reference though (ignore the health value lol)

Clemente•4y ago

I meant something like this

EthckOP•4y ago

Ooooh, I like that... Let me see if I can pull it off easily. Oh man, that's so much easier! Thanks @mclemente !

Clemente•4y ago

btw, that's the Constellation idea that's been on the Trello board, right? are you using Cytoscape by any chance?

EthckOP•4y ago

Recommendations? Definitely need to change the colors but I'm still thinking it might be cool to do the collapsing section.

EthckOP•4y ago

No, this was actually for a commission. No clue what Cytoscape is.

Clemente•4y ago

Cytoscape is lib for graphs like that (https://js.cytoscape.org/), but if you managed to do it without it, you're probably fine lol it's just that I found it being used on Foundry on Moerill's Mindmap module (RIP)

EthckOP•4y ago

Hmm, flexrow isn't what I was looking for apparently. I want the big section to be left aligned but the right section (level, cost) to be aligned to the right, just like in the original. Any ideas? This makes me wish I had found it sooner... I've done crude approximations based on percentages...

Clemente•4y ago

does <details><summary>Info</summary> CONTENT HERE </details> work on that sheet?

Daniel Thorp•4y ago

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Aligning_Items_in_a_Flex_Container align-items: end;

EthckOP•4y ago

Turns out details/summary makes that trivial...

EthckOP•4y ago

changed the color to make it visible while messing with it, but align-items: end gets closer.

EthckOP•4y ago

So the big box on the left should be on the left (basically where it is) and the Level/Cost should be on the right and it should be tiny (like 15% width)

So I've determined it's not because of the row itself, but rather probably the container. Each row is exactly 26px tall.

The commission was very specific and wanted me to use tidy5e's popout structure for some of the additional details, and that requires it to have a very nested selector chain :(

So the issue here is that the "other boons" has the item class... which sets the background and center aligns (via flex!)
