The raw SVG sources live at assets/images/icons/ for reference/reuse, and are also inlined once as definitions in a hidden sprite at the top of . Every icon renders via . Why instead of CSS mask-image: mask-image referencing a *local* file (file:// or even some http contexts) is unreliable across browsers — Chromium in particular fails to load file:// URLs through mask-image even though the same file loads fine in an tag. A same-document reference has no such restriction: it's plain SVG, supported identically in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, works over file://, http://, and https://, and needs zero extra network requests since the shape is already inline in the page. Color: each carries the icon's original stroke="currentColor", so icons automatically pick up whatever `color` is set on their container (e.g. .service-icon, .why-icon) — no extra color wiring needed here. ========================================================================== */ .icon { display: inline-block; flex-shrink: 0; overflow: visible; } .icon-size-14 { width: 14px; height: 14px; } .icon-size-16 { width: 16px; height: 16px; } .icon-size-18 { width: 18px; height: 18px; } .icon-size-20 { width: 20px; height: 20px; } .icon-size-22 { width: 22px; height: 22px; } .icon-size-24 { width: 24px; height: 24px; } .icon-size-26 { width: 26px; height: 26px; } /* ========================================================================== NAVIGATION ========================================================================== */ .nav { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 200; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; padding: 0.9rem 1.5rem; transition: padding 0.3s var(--ease); } /* Decorative background layer, kept as a SIBLING (not ancestor) of .nav-links. backdrop-filter on an ancestor creates a new containing block for position:fixed descendants, which was trapping the full-screen mobile menu inside the nav bar's own height instead of the full viewport.
