senshi Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've read many guides on how to create a drop shadow for images using CSS, and I actually got it to work but it just doesn't have the look I want.I want my drop shadows to look look the same as how they do it on deviantart.com.If you go there you will see that they have a nice little drop-shadow on most of the thumbnails and images they have.I was looking through the source but I can't figure out how they are doing it.Right now I am using a different method but it doesn't look so nice I am hoping somebody can lend me a hand here.

RayOK Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmm.. deviantart uses a lot of code. So poking through it for me would take a while. However, here are a few good articles from A List Apart, an excellent design site.CSS Drop ShadowsCSS Drop Shadows II : Fuzzy ShadowsOnion Skinned Drop Shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senshi Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yeah those are great links indeed.I actually came across them in a search through google before I ever started this topic.I did infact get it to work successfully, but those methods don't give me the same effect as DeviantArt's way.I have been going through their CSS and html coding trying to figure it out but it is way above my level.I tried so many different ways but I can't seem to get it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Didn't those effects only work with IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senshi Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Didn't those effects only work with IE?Don't know.I tried them on IE, and they worked. I didn't like how they looked though, so I never bothered to attempt them on any other browser. Although, if they do only work on IE then it would be bad.I know deviantart works on IE and firefox and opera. Now, if only i can figure out how they do it.I'm gonna keep screwing around with the source until I figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
