.imgHover.triangleScale.style1:before, .imgHover.triangleScale.style1:after {
 border-width: 250px; /* Image Width */
}
</style>

Overlay Example 2 :

It's the same rectangle shape, but shifted from the side by 20px.

<li class="imgHover triangleScale style2">
 <img src="your_image_src"/>
</li>


<style>
.imgHover.triangleScale.style2:before, .imgHover.triangleScale.style2:after {
 border-width: 210px; /* Image Width - Shifted space * 2 */
}
