<h1>Glow</h1>
<!-- TODO -->
<p><b>Very rough draft!</b></p>
<h2>Darkmode</h2>
<p>
To add the glow to something of a given height (or fontsize), here
<b>1em</b>, one needs to calculate four values:
</p>
<ul>
<li>An eighth; here 0.125em</li>
<li>A sixteenth; here 0.0625</li>
<li>A thirtysecond; here 0.03125</li>
<li>A sixtyfourth; here 0.015625</li>
</ul>
<p>
The first three values are used for drop-shadows, the last for an
inset shadow. Sadly, the latter is currently not possible using plain
CSS filters. Which is why it requires the use of an SVG filter. But
support for external SVG filters (using
<code>url("filter.svg#filter-id")</code>) is still flaky, we instead
opted to have to versions of each glow. One using SVG filters for
use-cases which support it (like the logo), and one using CSS filters
(as for this page's headings). Below you'll find implementation
examples using the primary color CSS variable for the glow color as
specified in our (S)CSS stylesheets. Simply replace
<code>--color-primary</code> with <code>--color-secondary</code> to
use the secondary color.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
For CSS filters one can simply use the following set of three
shadows layered atop each other:
<pre>
filter:
drop-shadow(0 0 0.03125em var(--color-white))
drop-shadow(0 0 0.0625em var(--color-primary))
drop-shadow(0 0 0.125em var(--color-primary));</pre
>
</li>
<li>
For SVG filters instead use the following two filters:
<pre>
&lt;filter x="-150%" y="-150%" width="400%" height="400%"
style="color-interpolation-filters:sRGB;" id="textBlurPrimary"&gt;
&lt;feDropShadow in="SourceGraphic" dx="0" dy="0" stdDeviation="16.25"
style="flood-color: var(--color-white);" result="drop_shadow_0" /&gt;
&lt;feDropShadow in="drop_shadow_0" dx="0" dy="0" stdDeviation="32.5"
style="flood-color: var(--color-primary);" result="drop_shadow_1" /&gt;
&lt;feDropShadow in="drop_shadow_1" dx="0" dy="0" stdDeviation="65"
style="flood-color: var(--color-primary);" result="drop_shadow_2" /&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;
&lt;filter x="-150%" y="-150%" width="400%" height="400%"
style="color-interpolation-filters:sRGB;" id="textInsetPrimary"&gt;
&lt;feFlood style="flood-color: var(--color-white);" result="flood-white"
/&gt;
&lt;feFlood style="flood-color: var(--color-primary);"
result="flood-glow-color" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="flood-glow-color" in2="SourceAlpha" operator="in"
result="flooded" /&gt;
&lt;feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="8.125"
result="inset_drop_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="flood-white" in2="inset_drop_shadow" operator="in"
result="inset_drop_shadow_white" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="inset_drop_shadow_white" in2="SourceAlpha" operator="in"
result="inset_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;feMerge result="final"&gt;
&lt;feMergeNode in="flooded" /&gt;
&lt;feMergeNode in="inset_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;/feMerge&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</pre

We use two separate filters here, because when combining shadows
with the primary and the secondary color as can be seen in the logo,
it is necessary to first add all drop-shadows to all paths using
<code>style="mix-blend-mode: screen;"</code> and then layer all
inset-shadow filters ontop of that. Otherwise one path's drop-shadow
could layer over another path's inset-shadow. Have a look at the
logo's source for an example.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Lightmode</h2>
<p>
To add the dim glow to something of a given height (or fontsize), here
<b>1em</b>, one needs to calculate one value: a thirtysecond; here
0.03125.
</p>
<p>
The value is needed for botha drop shadow as well as an inset shadow.
Sadly, the latter is currently not possible using plain CSS filters.
Which is why it requires the use of an SVG filter. But support for
external SVG filters (using
<code>url("filter.svg#filter-id")</code>) is still flaky, we instead
opted to have to versions of each glow. One using SVG filters for
use-cases which support it (like the logo), and one using CSS filters
(as for this page's headings). Below you'll find implementation
examples. They specify tones of the primary color using their
respective CSS variable in our stylesheet. You can simply replace each
occurence of "primary" with "secondary" and "argon" with "krypton" to
get a glow of the secondary color.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
For CSS filters one can simply use the following properties:
<pre>
filter: drop-shadow(0 0 0.03125em var(--color-argon-950));
color: var(--color-argon-800);</pre
>
</li>
<li>
For SVG filters instead use the following two filters:
<pre>
&lt;filter x="-25%" y="-150%" width="150%" height="400%"
style="color-interpolation-filters:sRGB;" id="textBlurPrimary"&gt;
&lt;feDropShadow in="SourceGraphic" dx="0" dy="0" stdDeviation="16.25"
style="flood-color: var(--color-argon-950);" result="drop_shadow_0" /&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;
&lt;filter x="-25%" y="-150%" width="150%" height="400%"
style="color-interpolation-filters:sRGB;" id="textInsetPrimary"&gt;
&lt;feFlood style="flood-color: var(--color-primary);" result="flood_brighter"
/&gt;
&lt;feFlood style="flood-color: var(--color-argon-800);"
result="flood_darker" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="flood_darker" in2="SourceAlpha" operator="in"
result="flooded" /&gt;
&lt;feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="8.125"
result="inset_drop_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="flood_brighter" in2="inset_drop_shadow" operator="in"
result="inset_drop_shadow_brighter" /&gt;
&lt;feComposite in="inset_drop_shadow_brighter" in2="SourceAlpha" operator="in"
result="inset_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;feMerge result="final"&gt;
&lt;feMergeNode in="flooded" /&gt;
&lt;feMergeNode in="inset_shadow" /&gt;
&lt;/feMerge&gt;
