Git Corner And Loading Effect Setup


Note for setting up GitHub Corners gadget on the web page to link to github repository, and for formatting my WebGL page with nice loading effect.

For GitHub Corners, big thanks to the author tholman . And about the loading effect I am using PACE. Here is the code for modifying my WebGL html page to setup those gadgets:

<html>
...
  <head>
    <title>Unity WebGL Player | MatCap_Unity</title>
    <!-- Pace Loading Tool -->
    <script src="/assets/lib/pace/pace.min.js"></script>
    <link href="/assets/lib/pace/pace-theme-center-atom.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <!-- Change body background to black -->
  <body style="background: #000">
    <!-- Canvas style setup to center the content, mentioned below -->   
    <canvas>...</canvas>
    <!-- Main Unity WebGL Widget -->
    <script>...</script>
    <!-- Github Corner Code, plz refer to the tool website. -->
    <a href="https://github.com/viclw17/Matcap_Unity" class="github-corner" ...
  </body>
</html>

Here is the code to modify the layout to center my WebGL app in the very center of the whole page. Here we have to

  • use absolute positioning
  • specify both width and height
  • set the left, right, top and bottom properties to 0
  • let the browser fill the remaining space with the auto margins
<canvas height="600px" width="600px"
    style="
        padding: 0;
        margin: auto;
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;"
></canvas>
