Canvas UI for MooTools

Finally, a decent implementation of panels using MooTools, which means I can finish my migration from YUI+Scriptaculous to MooTools some time this year if time allows.

Just add some color

Couldn’t help but share the wonderful resource that is colorschemes.org, chances are if you have a question about color there’s an answer in there somewhere.

Commonly user browser sizes

At some point during your web development process you will have to make a decision about your target audience’s browser size. We’ve seen all kinds of statistics showing user’s display resolution, but a new study by Thomas Baekdal looks at how much of that space is actually occupied by a browser. Good stuff, even if the data source is somewhat questionable (read: vague).
