Saving your history (beta)

One of the beta features I’ve been quietly working on is the ability to retrieve a history of saved urls. Currently this is tucked away inside of the beta features - so you need to open a console, but it needs your feedback and testing to understand if it’s viable and works. Please contribute to the feedback on github here.

simurai: Tried to make a Brushed Metal style in CSS3. The texture is done by using 3 repeating-gradients with different length. That makes it look somewhat random. For the linear version, browser support is pretty ok, but for the radial one it’s not quite there yet. I think only in Safari 5.1 and Chrome Windows. In addition I tried to add a conical gradient for the circle with just faking it with ellipse gradients. It’s ok for low contrasts and if you cover the middle part with an icon or so.. hehe.. ;-P A much more real looking technique is used in this experiment, but I believe it currently only works in Safari and Chrome Windows. Let’s hope that CSS4 will add support for real conical gradients. See live Demo.
