I think a battle-axe and a large, braided beard can do a lot for a person’s image.

I think I just found my new look.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll manage to convince Jeffrey that he’s found his.

Comment on Comic Update: Escaping Opera’s SVGorilla by kyle

Well, I’m certainly glad that there’s an Opera build out there with RGBA and HSLA support. What is a shame to me, though, is that it’s currently only on the strange WinGogi internal test build, and not in Opera 9.5. There’s no doubting that Opera is one of the leaders when it comes to implementing standards, but RGBA colors is one of the newer features that would be doing all of us a favor by getting into the standard version of each browser as soon as possible.

For the record, I’m super excited by Web Fonts, and the SVGorilla can beat me up with those whenever he wants. My initial concept for speech bubbles for the webcomic was with SIFr text replacement to make the text readable by search engines, but there were some definite compromises on how that looked on certain browsers so I ditched it. In a world with Web Fonts I won’t have that problem.

That does make sense. I guess I just wish that all the modern browsers were already using the scalpel (RGBa), and not just the blunt hammer of opacity… although come to think of it, IE doesn’t even have the hammer.

Here’s hoping IE8 is improved in that regard. Not that I’m holding my breath.

Opps, silly me clicked on the wrong comments link. Guess the RGBA colour confused me.

Haha. Ah but we’ve released Opera on Acid some time ago that includes both HSLA and RGBA support via a back-port to the Core-2.1 code base of some of the advancements we have added in Core-2.2. We’ll send the SVGorilla on acid after your pesky squirrel. He even has Web Fonts so he doesn’t need to speak in Comic Sans. Maybe we’ll send the Open the Web Valkyries too.
