Faux transparency
By Nick Hodge | May 16, 2002
Experimenting with "faux" transparency in the design. If this page were composed in SVG, it would be much easier. The wrapping to the right is also faked (using a table) and the Recent area has a background image in the table cells that blend from one colour to another. The image behind the main content area is in the CSS layer, and ghosted out in Photoshop prior to saving the JPEG. Its probably a little overboard, but interesting to see how far you can go.
Minor UI tweakage... the image inside the content area. Also: MSIE 4.5 Mac renders the page correctly (see yesterday's note on content areas) whereas MSIE 5.x Mac does not. Also fixed. I am pleasantly surprised that it all works on a 1999-era browser. Last century.
