Rounded Transparent Notifications with CSS3 and jQuery

CSS3 Rounded Transparent Notifications

In this quick tutorial we’re going to create some rounded transparent notifications using CSS3 and jQuery. The design of these notifications comes from Victor Erixon, a Swedish designer that created them for premiumpixels.com. This design was originally intended to be used as a Growl notification style and today we’re going to make a CSS3 version of it. This way we can improve our CSS3 skills while coding a detailed PSD design with CSS3.

We’ll use CSS3 only for creating the notifications except for the two icons, the cloud and the shopping cart, that will be PNG images. Then we’ll add some jQuery for making the notifications appear when we click on the menu buttons.
