CSS3 Review: What to expect

Working with CSS is one of my favorite things to do, to be blunt my art skills suck and css is my way of being creative visually, and I work a lot with it. From past projects to current projects I'm really looking forward to the ease of CSS3, the process from psd to css will go much quicker now that we have more options. Here's what their doing...

Border Images

border-image: url(border.png) 27 27 27 27 round round;

Border Radius'

border-radius-topleft: 5px;
border-radius-topright: 5px;
border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;
border-radius-bottomright: 5px;

Box Shadows

box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 15px;

Background sizes

background-size: 300px 300px;

Multiple backgrounds

background: url(body-top.gif) top left no-repeat,
url(banner_w3prodigy.jpg)  top 11px no-repeat,
url(body-bottom.gif) bottom left no-repeat,
url(body-middle.gif) left repeat-y;

Text shadows

color: #fff;
background-color: #fff;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #000;

And more...

Four UI specific modules
More selectors
Overflow support

I'm very excited about all of these new features, I only wish CSS3 was the standard now... If only so I don't sleep at the office on short turnarounds. You can learn more about CSS3, and the latest updates, at your local CSS3 library.
