Loving it already.
Fantastic JavaScript -- but styling mechanism leaves a lot to be desired. I understand beautiful graphics are not the scope of this work, however, the CSS-only approach might not be flexible enough for most designers.
Is this normal? Can anyone comment on this, please? How would one go about dressing this up?
Again, thanks for the great work!
- Swizec 14y agoCSS3 is very powerful these days and you can do amazing things without resorting to graphics. Where you absolutely cannot avoid a graphic (like having an icon or something), the use of pictographic fonts is becoming increasingly popular. Mostly due to reasons of scalability to different resolutions on different devices.
- joahua 14y agoAlso, if you're unfamiliar with CSS generally, the 'conventional' approach (as opposed to img tags in markup, or characters in an icon font) would be to use a sprite. This is also advantageous from a frontend performance standpoint as you avoid additional network overhead in getting individual graphics down to the client.

- balakk 14y agoThe whole concept looks super-slick!
