Beginner writers tend to write essays when they first start writing novels. Successful writers soon realise that a novel is not an essay. It is a story made up of scenes. But how do you know if you’ve written a great scene?

Benizora: WebKit Filter properties

etrothemes:

Recently,most of the theme makers are using different kinds of filters to give different styles to their themes or their own blogs. How many themes have the option for Grayscale Photos and Photosets,right? Other theme makers use the Blurfilter to make a cool effect,also. So I’d like to present all the properties WebKit filters can offer.

  • Grayscale
    Most theme makers are using it now to make more monochrome themes.But if you’d like so,you can make a balance of it:Instead of only colors or grayscale,you can make the photos “kind of” grayscale, just by using .5 or .3 instead of only 0 or 1.
  • Blur
    Another filter frenquently used,makes your layout more unique. On this case,you won’t use just 1 or 6, you must put px after the value.For example: blur(2px).
  • Sepia
    Just like the name says, this filter allows you to give the photos a old look. To use it, you just have to put values like the ones on the grayscale filter.
  • Saturate
    This one is not really used much with CSS, but those who make graphics probably understands what it means. On this one, you use numbers like 2 or 4 to increase the saturation.
  • Opacity
    All kinds of themes use this filter, this allows you to make the elements more transparent  so you can see what’s behind it, or even make hidden elements. Like grayscale, you’ll use values from 0 to 1.
  • Brightness
    Also, like the name says, this filter allows you to make the brightness of a image or anything else more intense. Also uses values from 0 to 1.
  • Contrast
    This one now allows you to give your elements a normal or intense contrast. It may be a interesting filter to make more colorful themes. Values variate from 0 to 1.
  • Hue-rotate
    Another exception,instead of 0 to 1,you can use a whole number,but using the deg unit,like this: hue-rotate(120deg). This one allows you,how you can see, to rotate elements, making different effects and forms for your themes.
  • Invert
    Another interesting effect,it inverts the color scheme of your photos.Most cellphone cameras these days have this effect too. Also use it with values from 0 to 1.

How can I use it?


All these filters can be really useful to create various effects, but how to use it?
After creating the element you’d like to customize with these filters, add on the bolded part:

.example_box { background-color:white; width:30px; height:30px; -webkit-filter:blur(2px) grayscale(.5) saturate(6);;


You can substitute the italic parts for the filters and values you’d like to use, since this was just an example. So,basically,you have this :

-webkit-filter: filter name(value);


If you still can’t understand what I mean,you can acess this site: davidwalsh, that explains the properties.
NOTE:These are WebKit Filters. It won’t work on all browsers.  I’d highly recommend you to use Chrome.
In case you’d like to use the grayscale filter,many theme makers have a cross-browser code for it on their blogs. Just look at their resources!
