Well, I was sick and tired of the way the dropshadow looked in my titlebar under Internet Explorer (due to its poor handling of the css, and no coding solution in sight). Becuase of this, I cribbed the code used in my dynamically generated entry titles and made dynamically generated header text. Not sure what that will do for my Google indexing, but I'll try it for a while...

For the interrested, I made this one a gif, rather than a png because Internet Explorer doesn't handle transparent png files properly (surprise, surprise). Thanks to the nice folks over at Gnome and Bitstream, I'm using the freely redistributable Bitstream Vera font set. Looks nice, eh?

I just recoded my heading renderer to use anti-aliasing. The only drawback is that the image has to have a background, rather than the transparent setting I was using before. I've made it white, to go with the theme, but would have to change it if the theme changes .

After posting an image of a stone ring I made, I got a few requests on how I did it.

Here is a quick tutorial.
