Creating CSS Rounded Corners

admin — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:26:21 +0000

Something I’ve often been asked is how to create a box with rounded corners in CSS, i.e. without using tables. Now, there are loads of tutorials out there waiting to be found, so I’m not going to write yet another one. What I am going to do is point you in the direction of a brilliant site that does the work for you.

http://www.roundedcornr.com

RoundedCornr is another brilliant generator, and all you have to do is fill in the required details such as the corner radius, border size, colours, even a gradient if you want, and the best bit is that you don’t have to have them at a fixed width, they’re fluid.

There are so many great tools on the net now to help make life easier and I’m always interested to try out new ones and spread the word, so if anyone comes across any that may be of interest, let me know!

Not just stripes, but TABS as well!

As if being able to generate striped backgrounds in a matter of seconds weren’t enough, you can now save yourself the hassle in Photoshop by generating menu tabs with Tabs Generator!

Admittedly, this one doesn’t save you huge amounts of time if you already know what the tab you want to create looks like, but being able to experiment and play about a bit with minimal effort is great. There’s a lot of trial and error involved in web design, and anything that’ll help save me some time I’m all for.

So check it out, http://www.tabsgenerator.com, and try not to get quite as excited about it as I do – it’s a bit sad really. Great tool though!

My new favourite site – StripeGenerator.com

I love it. Stripes are the new “cool” thing in web design, and they’re a pain in the arse to make in Photoshop. So why bother toiling for hours trying to get the perfect stripe when you can use…

StripeGenerator.com!

It’s great. Just pick your colours, the stripe directions, even add a gradient to them if you’re feeling adventurous, and hey presto, stripes generated for you in a .PNG format. It’d be nice to have the option of downloading them in .GIF of .JPG formats, but that’s just because I’m lazy and it’d save me having to open the file and resave it.

Great site anyway – let’s paint the web stripey!
