How this works

The four speed-dial items stack above the FAB at fixed bottom values (104px, 164px, 224px, 284px), each 60px apart. In the closed state they are opacity: 0; transform: scale(0.6) translateY(20px); pointer-events: none. The checkbox :checked sibling chain transitions them to visible with staggered transition-delay values, producing a ripple-up entrance.

The FAB uses border-radius: 16px by default and transitions to border-radius: 50% on open, simultaneously rotating 45° to convert its + icon into x. The scrim behind the dial is a full-cover sibling label that captures outside taps to close the menu, using a transparent-to-rgba(0,0,0,0.2) background transition.

Make it yours

  • Change the FAB colour by editing background: var(--accent) (#dc2626) on .mn-07__fab and updating the matching box-shadow rgba colour.
  • Add a fifth speed-dial item at bottom: 344px and extend the :checked chain with transition-delay: 0.20s.
  • Remove the border-radius morph by setting both default and :checked border-radius to the same value — 50% for always-round or 16px for always-square.
  • Position the FAB bottom-left by changing right: 24px to left: 24px and mirroring the speed-dial item right values to left.
  • Swap the map grid background for a real image by replacing the repeating-linear-gradient on .mn-07__map with background-image: url(...).

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The 60px fixed vertical spacing between speed-dial items assumes the 375x667 container — if the container is shorter, items at bottom: 284px may overlap the page header.
  • The scrim label captures all pointer events when the dial is open, including scroll — if the page behind needs to remain scrollable, use pointer-events: none on the scrim and close on FAB click only.
  • The FAB transform: rotate(45deg) on :checked also rotates the icon — ensure the icon inside is symmetric (+ or x) so rotation looks intentional, not broken.
