Thread

I was discussing CSS3 with a friend and while CSS3 looks sexily elegant, I confess I don’t know any in-the-wild examples of CSS3. Who presently uses CSS3 for personal or client work? And Why? (Flip this page for additional writing space)

no live examples but I read this article about CSS3 yesterday. It gives live examples of what can be don.

I use some of it for personal use (drop shadow, custom font) and I’m using HTML5 as well.  Why?  Because developing for the mass market means I rarely get to use cutting edge anything, so why not on my personal site use bleeding edge technology?  At present, my site only looks “correct” in WebKit based browsers.

WebKit nightlies just added support for CSS variables which are incredibly tempting…

Nice site Derek, hadn’t seen it before. I had wanted the font import ability with CSS3 but my concern is the font is Emigre and the contract wouldn’t allow me to just to link to the font in my css file. Anyone could download the font at that point. I may have to resort to sifr (ugh) if I decide to use the font for headings. It seems this is going to cause an issue with foundries, right? I mean if some person uses CSS3 font imports and it’s open for everyone to download the font for free… they will.

Correct; I chose freeware fonts from dafont.

I love Dafont! Can’t get enough crazy looking fonts, I’m always there grabbing new stuff. Starwars is one of my faves.

All our design staff is upgraded to CS3. It’s just too hard not to update everyone at the same time. I’m running it too, though I rarely need to use it. I open Photoshop 2 or 3 times a week and that’s about it 😊

You do know we are talking about CSS3 and not CS3 right?

If you have a look at http://w3csites.com/there are a lot of newer sites that are coming out showing CSS3 validation; I’ve even noticed a few that are showing HTML5 recently.

There is also a blog which keeps a lits of issues and up-to-date user agents at http://www.css3.info/

Ah cool, I hadn’t visited w3csites.com for a long while, good stuff on there. Thanks all for joining the discussion.

Derek - What font are you using for you titles?  Pretty snazzy…

“Typenoksidi” via the @font-face tag

@font-face {
    font-family:         'Typenoksidi';
    src:                 url('/images/design/typenoksidi.ttf');
}

#section h3 {
    font-family:        Typenoksidi, sans-serif;
    font-size:            1.5em;
    margin-bottom:        15px;
}

Figured it was CSS3.  Will definitely try that font on a project. 😉

Interesting. I’m behind on some of these technologies, so it’s cool seeing them in use.

Been a while since I bookmarked a new CSS site, thanks for sharing!
