CSSing your my.opera site - part 4

,

Some things came up the last two patches that you might want to hide or use in your very own way.

The GoogleSearch in the topbar can be changed and the social networking icons too. So let's stop talking and get into the CSS-magic! :wizard:

Kaltes, klares Wasser - Cold, clear water

A young female artist covered this german song from 1982 and created something completely new from it: A chilly, modern lounge song, ready to slowly take you away from your daily sorrows and stress. The video was made as a trailer for the TV music broadcaster "Deluxe Music", who focuses on music and content for grown ups.

Relax and enjoy.

Tinkering the figurine - part 3

, , , ...

It's time to start sanding the figuring. This step takes alot of patience, patience and patience again. For a small figurine like the one I'm using here, it will take 10-14 hours of humidification, concentrated sanding and careful cleaning. Even if you work every evening on the figurine it will still take a whole week, so remember... be patient and relax.

Still in three languages (english, german and norwegian). Sorry it took me so long, but I'm still far, far away from being fluent in norwegian. Feel free to leave comments. Takk skal du ha!
(my norwegian is powered by my stupid ideas and heinzelnisse.info)

CSSing gone wild - styled select boxes

,

The following CSS/JavaScript isn't meant for my.opera.com this time, but for for experimental and discussion purposes.

As some of you CSS magicians may know, the IE isn't able to style select boxes, but instead using the sources of Windows itself. Now your customer might insist that that box has to look stylish, so you'll have to find a way to create a select box that looks all the same on all current browsers.

It takes a bit of CSS and JavaScript to get this job done, but as you can see in the screenshot to the right, it is possible (with some flaws and downsides, that I'll explain later). :smile:

Sheryl Crow - Shine over Babylon

,

Last saturday I bought the latest CD of Sheryl Crow called "Detours" and to me it's one of the best and most critical albums available at the moment. While the last album (Wildflower from 2005) was very calm and reflective, the new one is stronger and faster with great lyrics.

To me the best song is "Shine over Babylon" and the video is awesome.
