My recent project, to find a way to get a ComplexSpiral-like effect on LJ, has led to my new layout. It works properly for most current browsers, except IE/Win and Opera (I think). Amaya has a couple of issues with the code, but most like that's from the HTML that LJ gives me - even Trident (the IE/Win rendering engine) manages to render it properly.
It looks kinda ok in IE/Win. That's called 'degrading gracefully'. In other browsers (like Firefox), there's only a tiny patch that's different, but it rather dramatically changes the look of the page. The original image was Tony DiTerlizzi's pic of the Painter that's used in Artists' Alley over at Planewalker.com.
The most beautiful bit of it, though, is that the whole background effect adds roughly as much to page weight as would a large animated icon - a whole 38.6 KB.
