Design Sandboxing

Today, I upgraded to Wordpress 2.9.2, and in the process I decided to play with some CSS3. If you’re browsing with Firefox, you may notice a completely new look here. Expect it to change frequently. I’m not serving the CSS3 goodness to other browsers that support it (notably WebKit-based browsers and Opera) because of the sheer magnitude of non-standard CSS3 properties (I can’t just duplicate and copy vendor prefixes — the actual order of the properties changes).

So, if you are using Firefox, you’re going to see a new gray/brown/green theme that’s going on. Complete with shadows, rounded corners, and some interesting gradient combinations. I managed to procure some fairly complex gradients, but you may be surprised when you learn that the new look has absolutely no graphics whatsoever. All the gradients (even those ones that look like images) are CSS3. It’s beautiful, no?

I’m looking forward to the day when I can serve these kinds of styles to all browsers and have them behave as expected.

Oh, and for the record, the only thing that Firefox users get is the stylesheet — I’m not serving any different HTML or anything, despite how reorganized the content actually is presented.

So, enjoy! =)
