Styling Scrollable Areas (15)

CSS-Tricks (90) permalink
The scrollbars on browser windows are not styled by the website itself, or even generally by the browser. They come from the operating system itself. The desire to customize the style of these scrollbars is strong. When you are starting out, it feels like something you should be able to do with CSS. Complicating the issue, if you search around for CSS to change/customize scrollbars, you’ll probably find it.

[专稿]关于字体 (19)
on
煎蛋 (747) permalink
# sein：今天换字体上瘾，就跟专业人 csee 聊了会。结果越扯越远，后来我听不懂他说什么了，就邀请他写篇 blog 说清楚。下面是 csee 同学的大作，《About Fonts》： 西方字体 无衬线字体 衬线字体 衬线字体的衬线（红色部分） 方块字 汉字中的衬线体宋体和无衬线体黑体 日文明朝体(MS Mincho体)和ゴシック体 韩国语中的衬线体Batang体和无衬线体Dotum体 中文将Serif按照字义翻译成“衬线”或“字脚”，顾名思义就是装饰陪衬的作用，因此有衬线体也称为“有脚体”。日语中将衬线称为うろこ，字面意思为“鱼鳞”。 衬线体(即“白体”)，中国大陆地区称之为宋体，使用繁体中文的港台称之为明体，日文称明朝体，韩国语称Batang体，常用于正文排版。这些名称起源于中国历史上的宋朝和明朝，当时中国的雕版印刷术已经广泛传播，而用于制造活字的木纹多为水平方向，因此造成在刻字时横画细，竖画粗；而且为了防止边缘破损，横画在两端也被加粗，根据运笔习惯而形成三角形的装饰。这种方式一直沿用至今，现在白体类字体多数都是横细竖粗。 另外，无衬线体在中文通常称为黑体，在日文称为ゴシック体（Goshikku-tai，即“哥特体”），韩国语中称Dotum体，这类字体笔画粗细基本一致，没有衬线装饰，较为醒目，常用于标题、导语、标志等。 用途 在传统印刷中，衬线字体用于正文印刷，因为它被认为比无衬线体更易于阅读，是比较正统的。相对的，无衬线体用于短篇和标题等，能够读者注意，或者提供一种轻松的气氛。 但是在计算机领域中倾向使用无衬线字体以方便在显示器上显示。出于这个原因，大部分网页使用无衬线字体。因此，Windows Vista中的中文默认字体已经从原来的衬线字体（宋体或细明体）改变成了无衬线字体（微软雅黑或微软正黑体）。另外，为了更好解决衬线字体的显示问题，新的反锯齿和次像素显示（如ClearType）等技术开始广泛运用。 旧体 旧体可以上溯到1465年，它的特征是：强调对角方向——一个字母最细的部分不是在顶部或底部，而是在斜对角的部分；粗细线条之间微妙的区别——笔画粗细的对比不强烈；出众的可读性。旧体是最接近手工铅字起源的字体。 旧衬线体在制作的时候有严整的斜度规定，加上弧度衬线体现细节，增强了它的阅读性。可是这个做法和研究阅读的心理学家所提倡的“平行字母宽度”认知模型是相矛盾的。 旧体可以再分为Venetian 和 Aldine 或 Garalde。旧体字体的样本有 Trajan, Jenson (Venetian), Garamond, Bembo, Goudy Old Style, 和Palatino (all Aldine or Garalde)。 过渡体 过渡体(或称 "巴洛克体") 衬线体最早出现在18世纪中叶，这类字体中包括最著名的Times New Roman (1932年) a和Baskerville体(1757年)。由于在风格上处于现代体和旧体之间，故名“过渡体”。和旧体比较，粗细线条的反差得以强调，但是没有现代体那么夸张。 粗衬线 粗衬线 (也称 "埃及体") 中笔画粗细差距较小，而衬线相当粗大，几乎和竖画一样粗，而且通常弧度很小。这种字体外观粗大方正，各个字母通常是固定的水平宽度，字体表现和打字机一样。这类字体通常被说成是单纯在无衬线字体加上大衬线，因为字母本身的形状和无衬线体很类似，笔画的粗细几乎没有差别。（在粗衬线体中有一个小类叫 Clarendon体，结构更类似于衬线体，但是有独具特色的弧线。）粗衬线出现在1800年左右。具体包括Clarendon体、Rockwell体和 Courier体等等。 现代 现代衬线体出现在18世纪末，强调了粗细笔画之间的强烈对比，加重了竖画，而把衬线作得细长。大部分现代衬线体的可读性不及过渡体和旧体衬线体。常见字体包括Bodoni体, Century Schoolbook体和 Computer Modern体。 (这类字体在开放源电脑系统中通常随TeX和LaTeX出现)。 无衬线字体有以下几种: 旧体 Grotesque早期的无衬线字体设计，如Grotesque或 Royal Gothic体。 过渡体 新grotesque或称为过渡体，目前所谓的标准无衬线字体，如Helvetica(瑞士体)， ...Shared by AlloVince (15) BenQu (21) cheewu (13) cngump (20) Eassylo (11) Fangs (19) Heureka (15) Liz (20) Maple (17) marchbox (3) melodyue (11) ming (1) Ryan (20) wenwu (20) yishao (26) yu (1) zh (26) 宏伟 (19) 白虎 (29)Contribute comment - Practical Functional JavaScript (2)

Windows only: Free application Iron is a slightly modified version of the Chromium source of Google Chrome that removes components of Chrome that report your usage habits to Google.

Dynamic URLs vs. static URLs (43)

This was the case when we recently talked to a couple of friends about the structure of a URL.
