CSS3 Rounded Corners - Mac Template





CSS3 Rounded Corners

Site owners always want to add some spice to designs of their websites, but maintain the friendliness of their interface (as to not scare away first time visitors). CSS3 rounded corners feature has made it possible to achieve both of these goals simultaneously.

CSS Rounded Corners Without Images


At the dawn of computer era and later the Internet, the virtual world was prevalent with humorless rectangular shapes and pointy ninety-degree angles, which only served to intimidate computer users and web surfers. As the technology and software progressed, graphical interfaces presented people with some friendlier shapes and softer angles. Ever since these developments, it has been the standard for all websites to reach for similar patterns in their designs, especially in the recent years.

The importance of user-friendly interfaces cannot be downplayed and smooth, rounded corners often have a major role in achieving it. Round shapes also serve to convey a sense of professionalism and style, while sharp edges are considered coarse and old-fashioned. With both software and video games showing thorough understanding of these basic concepts, it is surprising how for how long they had been largely ignored on the Internet, a global center of online customer relations and peer-to-peer interaction.

For years, innovative web developers had been trying to create smoother-looking rounded corners by using Photoshop and embedding the resulting images as CSS backgrounds for their websites, while the mainstream Internet community seemed to enjoy their boring rectangular existence. Separate images had to be created for every single side and corner of a button or object to make them all rounded, which gives some perspective to the future designers out there about the nightmares of pre-CSS3 web development.

This no longer holds true, as CSS3 has brought so many new parameters to the table that everyone seems to find a way of turning even their wildest dreams of web design into a solid virtual reality. CSS3 rounded corners, among other things, can be used on sections, buttons, navigation menus, submenus, boxes and any other objects that would improve from a bit of smooth trimming around the edges.

The rounded shapes created with CSS3 are so versatile and easy to implement that web designers can now direct their attention at other things, leaving the multi-purpose code of Cascading Style Sheets to take care of the user-friendliness aspect of their websites.

Navigation menus have improved the most following the introduction of rounded corners CSS-style. Even the occasional blogs and some smaller sites now boast slick graphics on their navigation bar and stunningly rounded buttons that are surprisingly inviting to visitor mouse clicks.

People who have not yet discovered the magic of CSS3 or simply do not possess the knowledge or means to take advantage of its latest features are now starting to slowly catch up with the new wave of web design practices. They are introduced to CSS3 rounded corners and its other features through online tutorials and professional website building software, but smaller and more focused applications like CSS3 Menu are possibly the probably the best way of creating a new generation navigation menu with the least possible effort in shortest amount of time.
