CSS based tooltips over social icons: Code and live demo
Creating CSS based tooltips
In today’s world websites, showing social icons for sharing the content is common. How about adding some effects by way of tooltips as the visitors hover over any icon of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, linkedIn etc.
In this post, I am going to share such tooltips effect by using pure CSS.
In the demo, the icons of Facebook, Twitter, Google plus, Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat are created by using SVG tag of HTML 5. As you bring the mouse over any icon, the tooltips with respective brand color appears with the social network name, have a look:
