:-) Maybe Firefox will produce Gecko Frame (analogue to Chrome Frame) that will bring this feature to other browsers…

It would be great even for my project – WCMS/XUL which has the administration in XUL and runs exclusively in FF3.5.

Some browsers are simply ahead and it is quite difficult for eager developers to keep hands away from such as cool emerging technologies and get stick with an aging dinosaur like Trident powering IE… :-(

It is like having Ferrari in the garage but use a bus every day.

Oh, forgot to mention: It’s only for FF >= 3.5

Hehe, have to admit … a funny idea. I just came up with a rudimentary color gradient designer who outputs canvas-code. It still lacks some finetuning, but the base is there.

Give it a try: http://labs.petergeil.name/gradientlab/gl.html
