Can It Be Done With… Oxygen?

Sridhar Katakam continued his video series of design challenges using Oxygen. Check out how he built the pricing boxes from the Soundstripe website and set up a toggled, off-canvas menu.

Video #3: Soundstripe's Pricing Boxes in Oxygen

What to watch for:

  • Clever use of a Tabs element to create a toggle for displaying two different pricing options
  • Using the browser inspector and a browser extension to grab CSS and font information from the original page
  • Finding a free Google Font that’s similar to the original design
  • Adding multiple box shadows to an element via custom CSS (Advanced > Custom CSS)
  • Styling active vs. default tabs with classes
  • Using absolute positioning to position a label near an element
  • Using custom CSS to add a color background with a linear gradient
  • Using a Code Block with custom CSS to style multiple elements on the page
  • Using spans to style parts of text separately (dollar sign and price)
  • Compare Sridhar’s process with with an approach using Beaver Builder that relies on a premium add-on to Beaver Builder to add the toggle.

Video #4: Off-Canvas menu in Oxygen

What to watch for:

  • Building open/close buttons with an Icon, Link Wrapper, and JavaScript
  • Preventing the menu from collapsing into a hamburger icon at small screen sizes (Primary > Mobile Responsive > Mobile Menu / Toggle Below = Never)
  • Using Stretch for a div to make sure it is full width on the page (Primary > Horizontal Item Alignment > Stretch)
  • Adding JavaScript actions with a custom functionality plugin
  • Adding CSS and JavaScript to the page with a Code Block
