Update on Nifty Corners
After playing around with Nifty Corners for the last week, I’ve switched to using a background image on the nav tabs. There were two main motivators for doing so:
- Nifty Corners was slower than using a background image.
- When using Nifty Corners, the corners didn’t render until after the page finished loading.
After a while, the 2nd point started to annoy me, so I decided to get rid of them and use the background image instead. Overall though, I think Nifty Corners is a really cool idea and I may end up implementing it elsewhere someday. I can’t wait until CSS3 is widely supported and we can do rounded corners directly in the stylesheet. It’ll be nice to not have to both with any of these hacks anymore.
