CSS PIE - border issue? - css

Facing issue while rendering RGBA color for border. RGBA color for border radius working fine but not border color and it is not showing any border color.
Is there any separate "-pie-" tag in CSSPie for use of RGBA in borders?
My Code:
.border{
position:absolute;
right: 250px;
top: 250px;
width: 400px; height:100px;
z-index: 9999;
border: 3px solid rgba(52, 52, 52, 0.3);
border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px;
behavior: url(PIE.htc);
}
Not able to see the border in IE 7 & 8... Can you help?
Thanks in advance!

For Border-radius issue you have to apply the styles position:relative; and z-index:0; for that element. Hope this will work.

Unfortunately this is not (yet) supported in PIE. If/when it does get implemented, it will undoubtedly require a separate -pie-border or -pie-border-color property, because IE's parser will throw away the entire border value if it contains the unrecognized rgba string.
Here is the ticket tracking this feature: https://github.com/lojjic/PIE/issues/55

My educated guess is that IE7 and IE8 only support rgb() and not rgba(), and that would be why the border was not showing.

Webkit scrollbar CSS, always a white box in corner

Is there any way to avoid the default white box that appears on a custom styled webkit scroll bar?
The white box only appears when overflow is going both horizontally and vertically. (Using Google Chrome)
Edit: I have tried setting body background to a different colour - still only seeing a white box.
Screenshot:
CSS:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 6px;
height: 6px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: transparent;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
border-radius: 5px;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
background: #0c0c0c;
}
This is a little out of date, but in chrome, you can set background colour to rgba(0,0,0,0). Anything with alpha 0 and the box won't show :)!
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
As E.C.Pabon mentioned, you can use the
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {background-color: red;}
tag, setting the background-color to transparent worked for me.
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {background-color: transparent;}
if you only need the vertical scrollbar you can use
overflow-y: scroll;
the white is the space between the x-scrollbar and the y-scrollbar
i hope it solve your problem
No, there is no way to avoid the white box.
You can set the background-color of it (as you did making it grayish-white in:
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
background: #0c0c0c;
}
We deal here with pseudo elements and the color under the ::-webkit-scrollbar-corner is white. So to get the custom webkit scrollbar blend in with your lay-out, you always have to take care of the corner's color AND keep in mind that transparency is over the white color.
While the answer provided by E.C.Pabon was technically correct, the real error was Chrome 50 on x64 Linux had a bug with GTK integration. As of Chrome 51, the issue has been fixed.

Unexpected box-shadow behaviour

I was trying to draw a small triangle (as the tail of a rectangular chat-bubble) in CSS. I managed to do that, but then I wanted to apply a box-shadow to the tail and the box. So, I have the following CSS for the tail:
#bubble::after {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
bottom: -22px;
left: 10px;
border-width: 22px 0 0 20px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #fff transparent;
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, .6);
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, .6);
}
Which renders this (Sorry; background is a bit blurry because of the zoom):
Notice how the box-shadow doesn't render alongside the diagonal part of the bubble's tail.
The desired effect I would like to achieve is:
This is a screenshot from inside Photoshop, so it might looks a bit different than the partial screenshot of the browser's portview (the shadow is supposed to be larger, I forgot to update the layer style after scaling the path).
How would I achieve that?
Thanks!
P.S: I am open to the thought of using a raster image or a SVG, although I'd prefer if I didn't have to.
I think that what you're trying to do is relevant to this previous post on SA: CSS Drop Shadow for CSS drawn arrow
I'm afraid that's not possible with CSS only. box-shadow applies to the element's box, with an image that's still a rectangle :)
See http://lineandpixel.com/blog/png-shadow for a write-up from another frustrated user.
You'll have to bite the bullet and use a raster image or SVG.

Wonky text anti-aliasing when rotating with webkit-transform in Chrome

I'm rotating an element using -webkit-transform: rotate() and in Chrome 14.0.835.2 dev-m it's doing some really weird stuff to the text inside the element. It reminds me of a similar effect you get in Photoshop when you rotate text using "smooth" anti-aliasing instead of "crisp".
Anyone know what's going on here? Is it specific to this webkit or Chrome version or is there something I can do to fix it? (It's also not anti-aliasing the borders between list elements)
Here's the CSS:
div.right-column.post-it
{
position: relative;
width: 240px;
background-color: #fe9;
padding: 20px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(.7deg);
background: #fe9 -webkit-gradient(radial, 20% 10%, 0, 50% 10%, 500, from(rgba(255,250,220,1)), to(rgba(255,238,253,0)));
box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #ddccaa,
2px 2px 0 #dbcaa8,
3px 3px 0 #d9c8a6,
4px 4px 0 #d7c6a4,
5px 5px 0 #d5c4a2,
6px 6px 1px #d3c2a0,
4px 4px 2px rgba(90,70,50,.5),
8px 8px 3px rgba(90,70,50,.3),
12px 12px 5px rgba(90,70,50,.1);
}
Try triggering the CSS 3d Transform mode with webkit. this changes the way chrome renders
-webkit-transform: rotate(.7deg) translate3d( 0, 0, 0);
edit
There also a Webkit only style declaration -webkit-font-smoothing which takes the values
none
subpixel-antialiased
antialiased
where subpixel-antialiased is the default value.
Alas, the subpixel antialias is no good solution for rotated text. The rendering machine cant handle that. The 3d transform switches to just antialiased. But we can try to set it directly.
See here http://maxvoltar.com/archive/-webkit-font-smoothing
The blurred fonts are caused by a weird webkit issue invloving -webkit-backface-visibility. This took me forever to figure out, and I haven't seen it anywhere else on the web yet.
I now add -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; to the body of my site as a CSS reset style. Watch it sharpen the fonts on your entire site, its amazing. You're transformations are not 3d so this wont affect anything anyway, but if you do decide to do 3d transformations somewhere else on your site just add back -webkit-backface-visibility: visible; to the specific element. Should also fix the flickering too.

Transparent shadows in IE

I have the following code, which makes a box with rounded corners and shadow. It should be compatible with all browsers and it really is, but the thing is I need transparent shadow and IE doesn't support RGBA values :(
<style>
#box {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
background-color: #1e9ad3;
padding: 20px;
margin: 20px;
border-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
behavior: url(PIE.htc);
box-shadow: 0px 4px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 4px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 4px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="box">
Hello world!
</div>
</body>
Any suggestions how to do this? My "box" could be on different backgrounds, or on the background with texture, so that's why I can't make the color of shadow for example light grey.
Here's the live example: http://bbin.own.cz/box.html
The CSS3Pie documentation gives the answer.
PIE parses RGBA color values wherever they are allowed. However it is only able to successfully render their opacity value in a few contexts. In all other contexts they will be rendered with the correct RGB color, but fully opaque. Here are the supported contexts in which the opacity will be rendered correctly:
The solid background-color as specified in the -pie-background property.
The color value of box-shadow, if the shadow has no blur.
In short, the answer is no, this can't be done. IE simply doesn't support RGBA properly. CSS3Pie is able to do it in a few contexts, but a box shadow with a blur is not going to work.
If CSS3Pie can't do it, then it's a pretty good bet that it simply isn't possible in IE.
You'll be able to do it if you lose the blur, but of course that changes the whole effect, so it's not really a solution for you.
You'll need to use custom MS settings for pre IE8
/* Theoretically for IE 8 & 9 (more valid) */
/* ...but not required as filter works too */
/* should come BEFORE filter */
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
/* This works in IE 8 & 9 too */
/* ... but also 5, 6, 7 */
filter: alpha(opacity=50);
Havent tested this but you can google for more info. source

CSS3 Gradients and border-radius leading to extraneous background in webkit

After my 1st question with relation to CSS3 gradients in which I was recreating an 'inner glow' I've now got to the point where I'm not so happy with the way in which webkit renders the effect.
Basically, if you give an element a background colour and apply a border radius to it, webkit lets the background colour "bleed" out to fill the surrounding box (making it look a bit awful)
To reproduce the undesirable effect, try something like the following
section#featured footer p a
{
color: rgb(255,255,255);
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 10px;
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
background: rgb(98,99,100);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0, 0.25);
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0, 0.25);
}
Apparently this appears to be a Windows-only problem, so for those on a Mac, here's a screenshot: (Check the 'carry on reading' button)
(source: friendlygp.com)
You'll notice that in Safari/Chrome (the latest available public downloads as well as the latest nightlies as far as I can tell), you get a rather ugly background colour bleed. However, in Firefox, you should be able to see what I'm after. If you're in Internet Explorer, woe betide you.
Does anyone know of a technique which will allow me to produce the 'correct' effect? Is there a CSS Property which I've missed that tells webkit to only have the background within the border-radius'd part of the containing box.
I could potentially use an image, but I'm really trying to avoid it. Naturally, as we're dealing with CSS3 and the landscape is continually changing, I might just have to 'lump' it and revert to an image.
However, if anyone can suggest an alternative I would be very much appreciative!
Finally, after an awfully long time, someone much cleverer than I has a solution to this:
-moz-background-clip: padding; /* Firefox 3.6 */
-webkit-background-clip: padding; /* Safari 4? Chrome 6? */
background-clip: padding-box; /* Firefox 4, Safari 5, Opera 10, IE 9 */
is your friend :)

This is, unfortunately, a known bug. You can sorta work around it by giving your element a background-coloured border big enough to cover the leaking inset shadow, but it's far from an ideal solution.
