3.0 Tip: Status Update Box Tweaks

If you find the new Status Update Box a bit boring, here's some CSS tweaks to spice it up a little.

  • Borders
  • Shadows
  • Padding / margins
  • Multi-layer CSS gradient

Simple & clean... enjoy :)

    • Looks great John! I threw mine together pretty quick before going to bed, but I'm glad you did the work for all the comments on your tip. 1 less thing I need to do. I always liked your color choices too. Thanks for sharing :)
