Information

Hey guys! Now for something I'm REALLY excited about. 👀 A few months back I had the passing thought that I wanted to make a Switch Lite entirely out of code with no image, so I set out to do it and here we are! This switch only needs one image: The screen gif or image.

While the thumbsticks don't do anything, all buttons are links! If you don't need them you can easily change that by turning the links into div containers instead. Don't worry, this is easy: you just change the a href="" title="" to div instead, and the closing </a> into </div> to finish. So, for example, <a href="" title="link4" class="a-down">â–¼</a> would become <div class="a-down">â–¼</div> to remove the link without breaking the arrow pad! This is especially useful if you're utilizing the popup menu and don't need the four extra links.

Speaking of the menu, that's easy to use or not use! It's just a matter of using the plus and minus buttons as open and close links or not. If they're just divs, no menu; if we turn them into anchor links: Menu! I've provided both versions below to make that easy.

And, of course, I haven't left you high and dry on colors: The page background is recolorable and you can keep the pattern without messing it up, the Switch can be any color you want, and I've also included an extra spec to add a background image to the Switch in case you want a "skin" instead of a factory color. Enjoy! 💖

Please note: I have NOT included specs to resize the Switch itself. It would just be way too involved; sorry!
