So I decided to try out blogging again. The entire web is doing it, so it must be fun, right?
I played with the Acko.net theme and got this cool transparent-block effect on the right. It works in IE6 and Mozilla Firebird 0.6 (that's good enough for me) though in other browsers it should simply fall back to solid white blocks. For compatibility's sake I did include a CSS3-compliant opacity property in case it's ever implemented...
Basically the blocks are output twice, but the second time it is in a semi-transparent layer with white background, and all inner elements set to 'visibility: hidden'. That way no extra drawing is done, but the elements are sized accordingly.
Yes, it's a bad hack, but it looks neat. I believe if IE6 had proper PNG support, I could use a semi-transparent background-image, but I'm not sure. For now, this'll have to do.

Hey man,
Just seeing if your still doin' anything with this. Great idea, just can't get the 1.2 version to work (am using winamp3, so that might be it - will try with winamp2). Keep up the good work! :-)

Site
How can I enter the site?
Is it closed down now?
Bah
Some reading goes a long way. I'll put the other stuff back online once I have time. For now it's just the forum (link in the top-right corner) and this blog.

Hey i like the transparent affect for your sign, but it's a bit bulky.
