another one on ie and png files
okay .. forget about PNG’s and IE. honestly, just don’t do it. it’s the easiest way. try to avoid it whenever you possibly can. if you really need transparent PNG for your website layout, make a workaround css file, check for the browser with php and load the file with url()-links to PNG8 (only 1bit [...]
the (in)famous IE PNG bug
i spent some time researching this topic with my old friend google. here’s what i found: this is an original post at msdn about the function which is used in the following css class. #myDivClass { float:left; width:100px; height:100px; // good browsers (everything except ie) ignore this line: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src=’images/file.png’); background-image:url(images/file.png)!important; // underscore makes [...]

tutorial: beveling an iPod’s touch-weel
i wrote my first tutorial on how to bevel some nice iPlastic interface buttons, similar to the iPod touchweel. it lacks good english and the screenshots are in german – obviously cause im swiss-german. well, you should get the point, anyhow. it’s a beginner tutorial showing you the very basics. all you have to do [...]
the corporate identity hell
