No, I don't have Photoshop.

RE: Help me with my new website!
Just found out it's possible to save a file as a transparent PNG in GIMP. Is it possible to make angular gradients in GIMP?

I haven't used GIMP, though I hear it's very good.  Youtube is probably your best source for this question:

If you can give me the hexadecimal codes for your starting and ending colors, I can try to make the gradient in Photoshop for you.

The top left and right corners appear to be rendered quite well in different browsers even in SVG. However, the down left corner doesn't. Here we go: the navigation bar is colored #AAAAFF, and the footer is #AAFFAA.

Anyway, guys, do you have some ideas for the interface of my web-game about linguistics?

I really like the graphics for that part of your page, and it looks like a very interesting project. It's probably a simple enough concept that you could do it with straight-up Javascript. Then you can generate as many divs as you want on the fly without the user ever having to post back to the server.

Re: your front page.
I'm sorry I haven't upload the image. I actually figured out how to do it in Photoshop, but unfortunately the very next day I had to go to the hospital and I haven't been released yet. Hopefully I'll be out tomorrow and we can see if the resultant image will be seamless enough.

I also thought of an alternative way of trying to do it: I believe CSS now has methods for defining rounded corners. It seems to me if you layer two linear gradients on top of each other, and then clip the result using a rounded corner, you can achieve something very similar to what you want. It will probably take a lot of fiddling, but might be a fun adventure.

Yeah, CSS has been able to do rounded corners for a while now. Gradients, too.

As an aside, if you're (the royal 'you're', meaning anyone reading this) going to do any non-trivial CSS work, I recommend using something like Sass. It takes a little bit of setup (Sass is a Ruby gem, so you'll need to install both), but it's well worth it. Being able to use variables, if/else, math operators, etc. directly in a file that will be exported as valid CSS is so, so nice.

That's what I intended. However, I've been using so much styling and animation that I've written over 500 lines of code just for an introduction. If I continue like this, the game will probably be 2000 lines long and unplayable because of the distracting animations. It's hard to think of an interface that would make the game playable, that's relatively easy to program and that doesn't look terrible.

CSS allows you to round all or some of the corners of a div. As far as I know, it doesn't allow you to put a round corner between the header and the navigation bar, yet alone put a conical gradient in it.

Yes, I've started to use JQuery stile injections because of that.

Animations by their very nature are meant to draw attention... they'll be distracting only if you add them where the player shouldn't be focusing. Also this looks like a simple quiz/flashcard game, with repeatable pattern in terms of questions, explanations e.t.c. So you don't really need much code once you code for one screen, it can be reused. I'd suggest jquery ui with it's animation effects, or any other lightweight animation framework, especially those that use css based animations.
