Visual artifacts in smooth operator

[cheesy]

I see some strange visual artifacts around the status message bubble "Smooth Operator" in 1.3b2. Note the horizontal line across the bottom and lighter squares in the top two corners. Also if I look hard, I can see a lighter part in the upper right corner of a regular message bubble, right where the more obvious artifact is on the status bubble.

Finally, the bottom of the latest bubble is very obviously truncated.

The artifact in the regular message bubble is very hard to see, especially from the jpeg. On my screen, it's more obvious if you look slightly off-axis.

These were created by me due to color profiling which continually pisses me off. I will work on this for a slightly later release.

Here we go - fixed the status message background by re-doing the entire thing, then cutting it up. PNGCrushed 'em as well ;)

Had to also make some changes to the CSS file, so I just re-zipped the whole thing.

I'll work on fixing the other (much harder to see) ones later on ... I think I'll have to re-do the bubbles for each, then re-do the layout like I did the status messages to fix screen size bugs as well. I previously worked around that bug by enlarging the entire image to a size larger than the max res likely to be used, which is not a smooth way of doing it.

Once Safari 4 is out with support for gradients, SO could probably be made without any images at all! :) No more color profile problems.

Oh yeah... that'll be nice... and the rounded corners could be done with an mask applied to the same div :)

[mathuaerknedam]

It's easier than that. Rounded corners work now using -webkit-border-radius in css.
