What we see as developers when we open every new site?
Usually we see different blocks with menus, sliders, widgets, main thing – content and of course, icons. Generally most of them are interactive, except content and… icons!
So I thought: ‘Maybe we can break this stereotype?’ Thus the idea of LivIcons (live Icons) was born. But if I knew that this project would take four months of hard daily work, maybe I would not have started it. However, here you can see the result.
So what is LivIcons? They are a cross browser vector icons, built with JavaScript, with individual mini animation for every icon. They based on SVG (scalable vector graphic) in modern browsers and VML (vector markup language) in IE6 – IE8 for clean and perfect look at any devices (Yes. Retina too).
Main features:
- 303 live icons – one script.
- New step in interactivity and brand New – such animation methods for interface elements were never created before.
- Animated and can be static of course
- Any color, any size
- Retina perfect
- 16 pixel perfect
- Flexible settings of behaviour and appearence
- Bootstrap compatible
- Easy integration – just one string of code for an icon.
- IE6+ support
- All browsers (almost
) - Free updates
- Adobe Illustrator files with all picktograms for your design purpose.
- Customizer with simple three steps let you choose what you exactly need.
