Adding a Link
To link your image, add an empty <a> tag just after the figcaption element.
<figure class="imghvr-fade">
<img src="#">
<figcaption>
// Hover Content
</figcaption>
<a href="http://www.imagehover.io"></a>
</figure>SASS
.scss source files are available if you use Sass as your CSS precompiler. It’s customizable and modular.
Customizing variables
Imagehover.css provides a _custom.scss file for easy overriding of default variables in /scss/_variables.scss. Copy and paste relevant lines from there into the _custom.scss file, modify the values, and recompile your Sass to change our default values. Be sure to remove the !default flag from override values.
For example, to change out the background-color and color for the <figcaption>, you'd do the following:
// Imagehover.css overrides
//
// Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values without modifying source files.
$figcaption-bg: #1a480a; // Green
$text-color: #9C3636; // RedVariable List
You can find and customize these variables in the _variables.scss file.
