Is there any way to use skew only in a parent element? I need to create something like a 'diamond' as a mask and the child elements can't be affected. There is no way, in this case, to use png as a mask. Thanks in advance! It's really easy, you just need to unskew the thing for the children. Unskew means applying another skew transform, but of opposite angle this time. .parent { transform: skewX(45deg); } .parent > * { transform: skew(-45deg); } In general, if you apply a number of transforms on a parent element and you want the child elements to go back to normal, then you have to apply the

How could I achieve a background that looked similar to this image: Only 3 colors, angled from the top corner out like a sunray.

I'm looking for a way to inverse the middle of an object to create an arch like a bridge. Included is an example image to show the sort of thing I'm trying to achieve. Edit: An important part of this arch is that it will be placed over other objects. Simply whiting it out isn't a solution, rather just a temporary hack. See image below for more on that. You could accomplish with radial gradients. I’ve put an

Is it possible to make in pure css background for half square like on the image.

How do I create a circle with a cut through it using CSS and an image in it? An example of what I want is shown below.Need a crossbrowser solution and with css not html. You can do this by creating the circle using a pseudo-element and then skewing the container with overflow: hidden .
