I'm not sure if generated content is the best approach. I would much like to see this as a decoration like background or better still, border-image. Having created a speech bubble after about 2 hours work has made me think that this could be simpler. It would have been easier if border-image allows gradients since attempting to use the background painting area results in a rectangle (have to create special gradients for each corner). Also, I do see 6.4 'border-image-outset' as a property in background and border [1]. This spec says it extends beyond the border box. Also if there was other ways to create gradients shapes, then one does not have to use two gradients to create a triangle with it's point going outwards. Anyway, please find a test case attached showing the possibilities. Alan 1. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-backgrounds/#the-border-image-outset -- Alan Gresley http://css-3d.org/ http://css-class.com/
