Review LivIcons - 303 Truly Animated Vector Icons (Images and Media)LivIcons - 303 Truly Animated Vector Icons (Images and Media) Description:
What we see as developers when we open every new site?
Usually we see different blocks with menus, sliders, widgets, main thing – content and of course, icons. Generally most of them are interactive, except content and… icons!
So I thought: ‘Maybe we can break this stereotype?’ Thus the idea of LivIcons (live Icons) was born. But if I knew that this project would take four months of hard daily work, maybe I would not had started it. However, here you can see the result.
So what are LivIcons? They are a cross browser vector icons, built with JavaScript, with individual mini animation for every icon (except ‘Brand names’ ones). They based on SVG (scalable vector graphic) in modern browsers and VML (vector markup language) in IE6 – IE8 for clean and perfect look at any devices (Yes. Retina too).
Main features:
- 344 live + 33 static = 377 total (from v1.2) icons in one script.
- New step in interactivity and brand New – such animation methods for interface elements were never created before.
- Animated and can be static of course
- Any color, any size
- Retina perfect
- 16 pixel perfect
- Flexible settings of behaviour and appearence
- Bootstrap compatible
- Easy integration – just one string of code for an icon.
- Dynamic add, remove and update with three JavaScript methods (from v1.2)
- Color change for ‘active’ class (from v1.2)
- IE6+ support
- All browsers (almost
) - Free updates
- Adobe Illustrator files with all picktograms for your design purpose.
- Customizer with simple three steps let you choose what you exactly need.
This is a universal jQuery solution. You can find the LivIcons WordPress Shortcodes Plugin here on Code Canyon too: http://codecanyon.net/item/livicons-for-wordpress-animated-vector-icons/5003666
Requirements:
- jQuery 1.6.3 and up
- A modern fast browser for work with the Customizer
License:
You need to purchase a regular or an extended license for every web project. You can’t resell LivIcons in any form as part of any stock theme (template), the extended license doesn’t mean multiple uses. I can’t offer you an ‘unlimited’ license option.
Important note:
From v1.1 the animation of any ‘Brand name’ icons, like socials, browsers, JS libs, etc., is removed because it may violate developers’ terms of service of their respective copyright owners. So from now these icons are not animated. Thanks for the understanding.

- Special thanks to jQuery team for outstanding work makes our job easier.
- Special thanks to Douglas Crockford for json2 script, which lets IE6 -IE7 to work with JSON format.
