    Favikon got a facelift today, as the plain ol’ flat look was starting to get really boring. Adding some life to the interface made me think about how much I can’t wait for CSS3 and SVG support. Multiple bg images, rounded corners, and scalable backgrounds would have made this mini-redesign so much better :)

    Eric, to comment on your suggestion: Favikon is currently using the GD library to process images, so we’re kind of stuck with the black background for now. I played with it a bit tonight, but all I could find online led me to the same result…something about having to modify the GD source and recompile…ha! Yeah, right. I hope to port the image processing functions over to ImageMagick eventually, and that will solve the problem for sure. Thanks for the feedback though!
