@BenBrocka We used to have the tabs smoothly change from white to green at some point, but I might be wrong
Ladineko
CSS. My favorite code.

@badp We did, yup. The technique used was a little fragile, but pretty cool

@GraceNote I am resisting the easy joke here...
Jin
@badp you're not wrong. there used to be, when it was gaming.se. I took it out after Arqade because I re-did the image sprite

@Ladineko CS:S, my least favorite Valve ga... oh wait, Valve makes DOTA2, nevermind.
Jin
the problem with the old header tab image sprite was that, it was hollow inside, I used css transition to change the tab bg colors. it was pretty hacky, but effective
badp
@Powerlord Why single out CS:Source?
Jin
however the problem occurs when we did site takeovers

@Ladineko Calling CSS code is like calling Christmas fruitcake food.
Powerlord
@badp Well, actually I dislike all 3 CS games equally, but I really,
really
dislike MOBAs.

when we put a different header or site background image, the tabs' image sprites(black scan lines) got in the way
Ladineko
@Powerlord I prefer League of Legends above Dota2, If dota2 has a feeder its game over.. in LoL you still have a chance.
Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
@Jin yup, same method A List Apart used for its old site. It was easier for them because they have flat background
Jin
^ old sprite
