Spiffy Corners
I don’t know about you, but I love me some rounded corners. They just give off a more casual feel than the standard “hard” corners.
I have built several sites that do the whole rounded thing, but I have always done it the hard way by using a bunch of images and such. Why? I have never found a non-image way that gave nearly as clean of a look as an image. At least not until now.
Today I found spiffy corners. Its not a new site (its actually on its second version) so many of you may have already found this little guy, but he is new to me.
For those of you who don’t know about this site, it is a CSS and HTML generator that creates really nice rounded corners that don’t have all the “jaggies” that are so common. The resulting code isn’t too shabby either (which is a feat in and of itself). I tested it on Firefox 2.0.0.3 and IE 6 today and the examples looked great in both.
So if you are creating a site and need some nice looking rounded corners, give this guy a try and send me a link of your site!

I must be the only person that really isn’t that keen on rounded corners!

The only person? Probably not. I think it depends on the style you want to portray on the site. If you want a real casual feel, rounded edges help. A “professional” look can be achieved with hard or straight corners. Its funny to think what will be the next “big thing” once the rounded phase ends.
Are we going to have fuzzy corners? lumpy corners?
