I am trying to create a wait/countdown screen that shows an eye along with the eyelid, and eyeball with an iris effect. Given that so many of us spend time pointlessly staring at such spinners the effect I am trying to achieve is of the "eye" spinner looking back at the viewer and blinking.
document.getElementById('waitDia').showModal();
var ticks = 300,
ticker = setInterval(changeTick,1000);
function changeTick()
{
document.getElementById('spnTick').innerText = --ticks;
if (0 === ticks) clearInterval(ticker);
}
#waitDia
{
position:absolute;
left:0 !important;
top:0 !important;
width:100vw !important;
height:100vh !important;
padding:0;
min-width:100vw;
min-height:100vh;
background-color:transparent !important;
}
#waitDia::backdrop{background-color:rgba(127,127,127,0.2);}
#spnTick
{
position:absolute;
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
left:0;
top:0;
}
#waitbox
{
left:0 !important;
top:0 !important;
width:100vw !important;
height:100vh !important;
position:absolute;
overflow:hidden;
}
#eyeball
{
position:relative;
top:-10vh;
left:-6px;
width:calc(24vh + 12px);
height:calc(24vh + 12px);
box-sizing:border-box;
background:rgba(0,128,128,0.5);
border-radius:100%;
border:1px solid transparent;
box-shadow:inset 0 0 18px 2px blue;
z-index:99999998;
}
#waitsecs
{
position:absolute;
left:calc(50vw - 12vh);
top:46vh;
width:24vh;
height:24vh;
font-size:8vh;
text-align:center;
display:block;
}
#waitEye
{
position:absolute;
top:27vh;
left:calc(50vw - 23vh);
width: 46vh;
height: 46vh;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.9);
border-radius: 100% 0px;
transform: rotate(45deg);
mix-blend-mode:overlay;
z-index:199999999;
box-shadow:0 -0.5vh 0 2px #f1c27d,inset 0 6px 4px 4px black;
}
body,html
{
background:black;
font-family:arial;

<dialog id='waitDia' class='waitdia'>
<div id='waitbox'>
<div id='waitsecs'><span id='spnTick'>300</span><div id='eyeball'></div></div>
<div id='waitEye'></div>
</div>
</dialog>
What I have been able to achieve thus far is shown below - I have set the ticker at 300 seconds here merely by way of illustration so it keeps working for a looong time - in the real application the wait time is likely to be considerably lesser.
While this effect is heading in the right direction it still lacks the eyelid blink effect. I suspect that this is easily doable with the help of correct 'box-shadow' manipulation and a simple animation. However, here I hit the limits of my part time CSS skills. I'd be most grateful to anyone here who might be able to suggest improvements to complete this implementation.
