Calculator UI in HTML and CSS

Web design is like a playground of creativity, and there's a new trend making waves – it's called Newmorphism. It's a cool mix of two design buddies – Neumorphism and Skeuomorphism. In this easy-to-follow guide, we'll create a basic calculator using HTML and CSS, diving into the soft shadows, gradients, and rounded corners that make Newmorphism stand out.

Understanding Newmorphism

So, what's Newmorphism all about? It's a design style that combines Neumorphism's soft shadows (making things look touchable) with Skeuomorphism's realistic design elements. The result? An awesome, user-friendly interface that's easy on the eyes.

Let's Build a Newmorphism Calculator

HTML Setup

We'll kick things off by setting up the basic structure for our calculator. Copy and paste the following code into your HTML file:



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="utils.css">
    <title>Calculator</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container flex items-center">
        <div class="content flex-col items-center">
            <div class="items flex-col items-center">
                <input type="text">
                <!-- Buttons for numbers and operations -->
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS Styles

Now, let's add some style magic to our calculator. We've split the styles into two files – utils.css for utility classes and style.css for the main design. Copy and paste the following codes into their respective files.

utils.css:



.bg-red {
    background: red;
}

.danger {
    color: white;
    background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6);
}

.danger:hover {
    box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px rgba(255, 111, 111, 0.5), -5px -5px 10px rgba(255, 111, 111, 0.5);
}

.success {
    color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
    background: rgba(0, 255, 47, 0.6);
}

.success:hover {
    box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px rgba(125, 255, 111, 0.5), -5px -5px 10px rgba(125, 255, 111, 0.5);
}

.flex {
    display: flex;
}

.flex-col {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

.items-center {
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

style.css:



@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&amp;family=Ubuntu&amp;display=swap');

* {

    margin: 0;

    padding: 0;

    box-sizing: border-box;

    -webkit-user-select: none;

    user-select: none;

}

.container {

    height: 100vh;

}

.content {

}

.btn {

    width: 55px;

    display: flex;

    justify-content: center;

    align-items: center;

    padding: 15px 20px;

    border-radius: 10px;

    margin: 5px;

    background-color: #e0e5ed;

    font-weight: 600;

    cursor: pointer;

}

.btn:hover {

    box-shadow: inset 5px 5px 10px rgb(163, 177, 198, 0.6), inset -5px -5px 10px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);

}

.items input {

    padding: 10px;

    margin: 10px;

    font-size: 1.5rem;

    width: 240px;

    border: none;

    border-radius: 5px;

}
