Creating buttons with CSS becomes a lot more comfortable. The following example demonstrates how to create nice looking, dynamic buttons that are fully scaleable using the new CSS3 properties border-radius, box-shadow and RGBa.
I’m currently trying to sort my archive of old layouts, wallpapers and other stuff. Here’s a quick look at what I’ve found in the depth of my harddrive.
Of course, there’s a lot more. After sorting everything and moving the crap out, I’ll put up a kind of online archive / gallery where you can browse all that old stuff.
