Utilizing text-shadow to simulate engraved or stenciled text is widely used on websites. Apple did it everywhere in Mac OS X not just since Leopard (just look at the titlebars). So if you design a website for Mac users you can increase the sexyness of your website, because this particular usage of text-shadow integrates very well with the overall look of Mac OS X. I will explain how to achieve this engraved-text-on-metal effect later on in this article.
## 2. Which browsers support it?
## 2. Which browsers support it
In fact, text-shadow is not a new property since it was first defined with [CSS2 in 1998](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#text-shadow-props) but it was just implemented by the KHTML/WebKit-folks. But it's available in [Safari](http://www.apple.com/safari/) since version 1.1 (2003), in [Konqueror](http://www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php) since version 3.4 (I believe, not sure) and [Opera](http://www.opera.com/) 9.5. Furthermore it's also supported by [Firefox](http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html) 3.1/3.5 and finally [Google Chrome](http://www.google.com/chrome) 2 adds full support for the text-shadow property after they had stripped this from the first version of Chrome.

But wait, regarding Safari on Mac OS X there's one more (bad) thing to remember. The Mac OS X 10.5.2 update [resulted in minor changes of the WebKit text-shadow rendering](http://www.islayer.com/blog/?p=255). It seems that with this update text-shadow is finally rendered correctly as WebKit added one extra pixel to the shadow offset on 10.4.11 and 10.5.1.

So the major browser Internet Explorer doesn't support it yet but just don't count on Internet Explorer. I guess they are happy with [coding their own non-standard version of CSS for IE9](http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/04/01/announcing-css-2012.aspx) and making shadows with those [DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow-stuff](<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532985(VS.85).aspx>) which in the end just [looks horrible](http://kilianvalkhof.com/2008/design/almost-cross-browser-text-shadow/).

The first two values specify the length of the shadow offset. The first value specifies the horizontal distance and the second specifies the vertical distance of the shadow. The third value specifies the blur radius and the last value describes the color of the shadow:

2. value = The Y-coordinate

4. value = The color of the shadow
1. value = The X-ccordinate

Using positive numbers as the first two values ends up with placing the shadow to the right of the text horizontically (first value) and placing the shadow below the text vertically (second value).

If you're interested in how the plugin works there's [a cool in-depth explanation from the guys at Image Trends on their website](http://www.imagetrendsinc.com/products/specpage_hemi.asp).
The Fisheye-Hemi plugin is the first plugin from Image Trends coming for Apple's Aperture. Image Trends' president and CEO Dan Sullivan says that the other plugins [PearlyWhite](http://www.imagetrendsinc.com/products/prodpage_pearly.asp) and [ShineOff](http://www.imagetrendsinc.com/products/prodpage_shine.asp) are expected to be released within the next 60 days while some mysterious "other products" will follow them too. The plugin costs US$ 29.95 and if you want the plugin for Aperture and Photoshop you get a 50% discount. There's also a free trial version of the plugin available.

As you may know there's a huge Internet censorship going on in China. Contrary to promises made by chinese authorities and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) this Internet censorship is active during the Olympic Games [even in the international media centre](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7532338.stm).

@ -25,63 +23,36 @@ And remember that you have to protect your Computer _before_ arriving in China b
The easiest way to get around the firewall is to install [Tor](http://www.torproject.org), [Psiphon](http://psiphon.civisec.org/) or [Proxify](https://proxify.com/) to fog your IP address and your location. A better way would be using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection or an SSL tunnel. This way all of your internet connections are secure and encrypted. If you're working for a bigger news agency there's a good chance they have its own VPN and you can connect securely to that as well. Just ask your IT department for how to achieve this.
## Secure your Communication
After you have secured your connection data you have to make sure your communication is secure as well to protect you and your sources.
## E-Mail
If you use mails be sure to encrypt everything, your logins with SSL/TLS **and** the mails itself either with GPG/PGP or certificates.
## Skype
Just don't download Skype while being in China! If you want to use Skype be sure to download it outside of China. But remember that it's not possible to secure your Skype chats and calls because they can't be encrypted.
## Chat
Here you should use encryption as well. Members of .Mac/MobileMe can have encrypted chats with iChat. For all the others there's [Off-The-Record Messaging (OTR)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging) which can be [used with every chat protocol out there](http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/).
## Phone/Mobile
Reporters Without Borders advise to use different SIM cards especially if you're going to contact "sensitive" people.
## Secure your Computer and physical data
Even without any data or other communication going on with your computer there are some critical things to remember in terms of security.
Especially encrypting sensible data on your computer is always a good thing to do. On the Mac you can just activate FileVault. On Windows Vista you can activate Bitlocker and on Linux you can use TrueCrypt (which can be used on Mac and Windows too). This way sensible data (your contact lists!) are encrypted and can only be recovered with the appropriate password.
Another good hint is to use an EFI or BIOS password which has to be entered when you start your computer. But this alone won't protect you that much because your hard drive can easily be removed and accessed. But if the hard drive is encrypted too you have relatively great security against chinese authorities.
If you want to know more about how to protect you and your sources be sure to check out these great resources:

### Custom Output
If you want to adjust the generated output of the <img /> tag you can do this by using some array stuff. So let's say you want to have the post thumbnails to be 200x200px big and another class assigned to it, you can extend the template tag like so:

## 4. Make It Bulletproof (a.k.a. Backwards Compatible)
With the check in your functions.php at the beginning there's already ensured old WordPress installations will just skip this feature. But there remains one problem and before you just go ahead and update your theme(s) think about it: the old content in your blog doesn't have a post thumbnail assigned to it through this new feature. You don't want to have you or your theme users update all their older articles, right? And if you already use some sort of post image hack there's probably a special function in your theme which does that.
So it's a pretty good idea to make this backwards compatible with some quick if else voodoo, code shamelessly [adapted from WP-Recipes](http://www.wprecipes.com/wordpress-2-9-display-post-image-with-backward-compatibility):
@ -163,33 +151,19 @@ if ( (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail()) ) {
This first checks if the feature exists and if a post thumbnail was addd with this new feature. If it was, it simply returns the post thumbnail. If not, it falls back to whatever you've used in your theme before, the usual way is to check for and get the value of a special custom field named e.g. post-image and output it. You can add whatever you've used before inside the else statement. Et voilà, it's nicely backwards compatible now, yay!

image: ../media/mkv2.jpg
author: Matthias Kretschmann
date: 2012-02-26 21:29:54+00:00
@ -17,50 +16,34 @@ Today I finally launched v2 of my personal site, still following the concept of
One goal was to use as less images as possible. Yes, it would have been easier to just use images instead of like 10 box-shadows on one element but this wouldn't have been any fun. And no matter what retina/high dpi devices come up next all interface elements will look just as sharp without any additional work.
![](../media/mkv2-detail.png)
![MK v2 detail](../media/mkv2-detail.png)
Apart from the colored top background, the logo and the subtle background texture there're no background images in use. All the other visuals were created with a lot of CSS3 & pseudo elements. Pseudo elements were the perfect technology so the markup doesn't get cluttered with dozens of empty divs, spans etc. which would only serve a styling purpose.
All icons on the site are coming from an icon font (the wonderful [IcoMoon](http://keyamoon.com/icomoon)) embedded with @font-face.
![](../media/mkv2-balls.jpg)
![MK v2 balls](../media/mkv2-balls.jpg)
## Mobile & Modern First
For the front-end development I've followed a mobile devices & modern browsers first approach. Therefore the site should look great on many different devices & screen sizes. As a starting point I used a combination of the [1140grid](http://cssgrid.net) and [320 and up](http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/320andup/).
![](../media/mkv2-responsivelayouts.jpg)
![MK v2 responsive layout](../media/mkv2-responsivelayouts.jpg)
That's of course all done by media queries with breakpoints at 600px, 768px and 992px. During my testing those rather weird values turned out to work best for this simple layout. The layout only changes at 600px & 768px, the 992px is just used for some different css animations. And yes, I'm aware of the irony targeting fixed values here although everything else uses relative values.
But it's interesting to see how different the rendering of the site is in some mobile browsers. Here're some unmodified screenshots of the site in various mobile browsers on iOS 5 & Android 4:
* [iOS - Mobile Safari (iPhone 4S)](../media/mkv2-iphone.png)
* [iOS - Mobile Safari (iPad)](../media/mkv2-ipad.png)
* [Android - Android Browser (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android.png)
* [Android - Chrome beta (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android-chrome.png)
* [Android - Firefox (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android-firefox.png)
* [iOS - Mobile Safari (iPhone 4S)](../media/mkv2-iphone.png)
* [iOS - Mobile Safari (iPad)](../media/mkv2-ipad.png)
* [Android - Android Browser (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android.png)
* [Android - Chrome beta (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android-chrome.png)
* [Android - Firefox (Nexus S)](../media/mkv2-android-firefox.png)
Notice the weird banding of the gradients in Firefox. And Android either ignores the min-device-pixel-ratio media query altogether or has just problems with the background-size css property.
## Animations
All animations were written as CSS animations/transitions first. So in modern browsers you can disable JavaScript without losing most of the animations. And those animations are buttery smooth because they're hardware accelerated. You wouldn't notice the difference between a CSS- and jQuery-based animation on a desktop device (except if you're on a shitty netbook) but it makes a great difference on all those ARM devices. For not so cool browsers [Modernizr](http://www.modernizr.com/) & [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) are kicking in to compensate for the lack of css animation support.
Except for the standard Android browser. Although the current version supports css transitions & animations it just wasn't possible to animate something smoothly here. I suspect this is caused by all the portfolio images on one page. Many images on a site always let this Browser capitulate, even on Android 4.0. So I'm being totally bad here, sniff for that particular browser and disable the animations for it. Please address your anger towards Google for that. Or just use the [Chrome beta](https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome) which works perfectly fine with images on a website.

## The touch hover problem
![](../media/mkv2-portfolio-overlay.jpg)
![MK v2 overlay](../media/mkv2-portfolio-overlay.jpg)
A common pattern for stuff which can be revealed by hovering over something on desktop devices is to just make everything visible by default on touch devices. But I didn't wanted to clutter the portfolio items by adding buttons/text links or whatever around them.
![](../media/mkv2-ipad-touchindicator.jpg) So this led to a problem for touch users because it isn't immediately obvious how to reveal the overlays housing additional actions for each item. Approximately half of my beta testers found out about tapping a portfolio item to reveal the actions which is obviously not enough.

So this led to a problem for touch users because it isn't immediately obvious how to reveal the overlays housing additional actions for each item. Approximately half of my beta testers found out about tapping a portfolio item to reveal the actions which is obviously not enough.
So I incorporated a visual hint for the other half: If a user on a touch device hasn't tapped on an item yet a subtle touch indicator starts pulsating over each item after 30 seconds.
## One More Thing
If you get bored, shake your Post-PC device. On Desktops, try entering Twitter's first prototype SMS shortcode on the keyboard. Nuff' said. (could be a bit rough at the moment, be warned)
Finally many thanks to all my beta testers, you greatly helped in finding all the small quirks so the site got more usable in the end.

The suggested [top placement in the Android Design Guidelines](http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/tabs.html) was an answer to a typical Android specific problem: the very bottom of Android apps is reserved for on-screen navigation buttons, originally capacitative off-screen buttons. And those can get triggered accidentally when reaching tabs in a tab bar at the bottom of the screen. Let's dub this problem no. 1.

The usage of a bottom tab bar in Instagram for Android is an answer to a relatively new problem which isn't incorporated in the Android Design Guidelines: bigger screens, or more precisely longer screens, make it very hard to reach tabs at the top of the screen when holding the device with one hand. When looking at all those new devices it seems clear screen sizes above 4" are now the norm for Android. This is problem no. 2.

Users wouldn't have to reach for the tabs to change views and nobody would accidently trigger the OS buttons at the bottom. The active states of the current and new tab item could fade corresponding to the swiping, same goes for the title of the current view in the very top bar. Another way could have been to split action & navigation tabs like [Guenther Beyer did in his mockup](https://plus.google.com/109726284197282147930/posts/5McKooqNnnd).

Funny story from [Lou Montulli](http://www.montulli.org/lou), who is the credited inventor of the <blink> tag. As suspected of generations of web designers, it involved a bar and much alcohol:
> It turns out that one of the engineers liked my idea so much that he left the bar sometime past midnight, returned to the office and implemented the blink tag overnight. He was still there in the morning and quite proud of it.

## CSS beats Images
The whole interface is mostly CSS based, only the logo typeface with the cloud and the body background texture are images. Embedded in the css file as data-URIs to save server requests. Those 2 images have their Retina sized equivalent on high-dpi devices (everything above factor of 1.5).
But even those @2x assets are just blurry when the user zooms into the interface. But with most interface elements being css or font based you can zoom in ridiculously without anything becoming blurry. That's actually a scaled down full size screenshot of a zoom in on the 3rd generation iPad:
![](../media/kremaliciouscom-iPad-3.jpg)
![kremalicious2 iPad 3](../media/kremaliciouscom-iPad-3.jpg)
Needless to say this introduces new problems, especially for performance on mobile devices. As we know, current mobile devices and their browsers come into memory problems when told to render a lot of css box-shadows or css gradients. This all isn't noticeable on Desktop devices or an iPad 1, but it's quite noticeable in the Android stock browser on a Nexus S for instance.
For the content images I currently have no special technique in place except for WordPress creating a lot of different image sizes. And I make bad stuff like letting the browser resize bigger images on the fly. I value image quality over bandwidth savings and this way images look super crisp on high-dpi displays.
## Fuck Yeah, WordPress
In the backend this is all still running on WordPress. For the WordPress theme I used [roots](http://www.rootstheme.com/) as a starting point but reduced everything in it dramatically. And my theme includes numerous tricks to make my blogging life easier. Depending on the content type a lot of different featured image sizes are being generated in the background and displayed throughout the different views. For the link & photo posts Im using WordPress built-in Post Formats feature, greatly enhanced by the [Post Formats Admin UI](http://alexking.org/blog/2011/10/25/wordpress-post-formats-admin-ui) from Alex King.

The blog stream got more content types. Apart from normal posts, links and photos will be added to it.
### Link posts
Link post means a short comment from me to a valuable or interesting resource where the post title is linked to the original source. I put them in topics just like all the other articles.
### Photo posts
![](../media/kremalicious2-photoposts.jpg)
![kremalicious2 photo posts](../media/kremalicious2-photoposts.jpg)
[Photo posts](/photos) are my new favorite: beside selected images from my Flickr and 500px profiles, they include automatic posting of my Instagram images. After being taken, a new Instagram image is posted immediately as a special styled photo post in this blog.
![](../media/kremalicious2-photogrid.jpg)And I didnt wanted to clutter the blog stream in times when therere a lot of photo-only posts between text based posts.
![kremalicious2 photo grid](../media/kremalicious2-photogrid.jpg)
And I didnt wanted to clutter the blog stream in times when therere a lot of photo-only posts between text based posts.
So all photo posts which immediately follow one another are grouped together in a grid, nicely laid out by [jQuery Masonry](http://masonry.desandro.com/). I couldn't figure out a way to make this filtering on the WordPress loop level for now so this grouping is done with jQuery after page load.
### Topics
The navigational concept only includes filtering of the stream by topic and those categories are greatly reduced compared to before. Some topic pages are styled differently, like the [goodies](/goodies) and the [photos](/photos) archives.
### Dates are so 2004
I saw no reason to include a prominent date along with a post title. Besides, I use my blog posts in a more wiki-like style, adding to them and updating them long after they have been published. Thats why Ive banned the date for a post to the very bottom of it. AI also removed all date references from the post URLs.
### Comments
Ive decided to keep this functionality intact but hide the whole comment section under each post by default. This is a compromise between those users seeing comments as interface clutter and those valuing comments in blogs. The whole comment section is even taken completely off the DOM on page load with jQuery's detach(), only clicking/tapping the comment section heading will bring them back.
## Subscriptions
### RSS Feeds
The RSS feeds for posts and comments have been moved to Feedburner. You can just use kremalicious.com/feed/ or kremalicious.com/comments/feed/ or use the new Feedburner URLs:
[Posts feed](http://feeds.feedburner.com/kremalicious) [Comments feed](http://feeds.feedburner.com/kremalicious_comments)
The RSS feeds for posts and comments have been moved to Feedburner. You can just use kremalicious.com/feed.xml.
Currently it looks like Google has some problems recognizing kremalicious.com/feed as the replacement for www.kremalicious.com/feed so it may show you multiple entries if you search for it in Google Reader.
### Twitter & Google+

There are basically two scenarios where you really need custom icons for WordPress admin area: when creating custom post types and when creating option pages for a plugin/theme. No matter what case, at least 3 icons are needed if you want to get it right:
* two 16px icons for the admin menu, one non-colored and one colored icon for the hover state
* one 32px icon for the actual screen
* two 16px icons for the admin menu, one non-colored and one colored icon for the hover state

Apart from a nicely responsive admin area, WordPress 3.4 now [includes retina assets](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20293) for all the icons in the admin area to make them look crisp on devices with high-dpi screens like the iPhone or iPad 3, most flagship Android devices and of course the new ÜberMacBookPro.
And it looks gorgeous. Here's a detail screenshot of the admin area in 3.4 in full scale, taken on the iPad 3:
![](../media/wp34_retina_icons.png)
So if you're a plugin developer you absolutely want to make sure to include retina assets for your plugin, like a double sized admin menu icon.
There's just one problem: WordPress doesn't include anything to make this easy for developers. The functions `register_post_type()` and `add_menu_page()` only allow you to define one image as menu icon which then gets inserted as `img` tag.
