Unless you’ve lived under a rock lately, I’m sure you’ve heard of Sublime Text 2 and most likely that’s your favorite code editor.
In the past I used some other code editors like Komodo Edit or Aptana Studio, but now I use Sublime Text 2 on a daily basis and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s lightweight, easy to use and has a modern UI look. But by far, the best feature is the ability to extend its functionality with plugins, a.k.a packages.
The title pretty much says it all. These days I was working on a small web project and while creating the so well known triangle effect using CSS borders I’ve noticed some rendering inconsistencies on Firefox I thought they were fixed by now.
I had one of those moments this week when I remembered I saw a while ago a tucked corners effect made by Joshua Hibbert. That was cool. While thinking about it, one of my first thoughts was to try finding an alternative solution which can allow you use a pattern as a background for the containing block.
For this alternative CSS3 tucked corners effect, I used the beveled corners technique by Lea Verou, a technique you’ve seen implemented before for my CSS3 tabs with beveled corners.
Nowadays, using subtle patterns is kinda cool so I thought why not using them also on buttons? The idea was to create some nice CSS3 patterned buttons and in this article you’ll see what I’ve been working on lately.
You’ve seen triangles everywhere: on tooltips, dropdowns and even on loading animations. Like it or not, these small elements are quite important when trying to build some relationships between various UI elements.
There are some different ways to build a triangle for your web designs and in this article you’ll see how you can actually do that.
