spiffybox.com— The Spiffy Box is really just an automated way to create the code and image needed to employ Ryan Thrash's now infamous ThrashBox. Or rather, "Simple Rounded Corner CSS Boxes" as he now calls it.

I just looked at the site using 7 different displays, and the text is perfectly legible and easy on the eyes. When is the last time you calibrated your monitor?
This is an absolute BEAST to get it exactly where you want it. You try to decrease the width? Good luck. Float it to the right? YEAH RIGHT. I struggled with the sloppy code for HOURS (by the way it is very sloppy code, and poorly commented, and very buggy).I do commend the author for making something like this though, it's pretty innovative.But realistically, it seems like he is doing too many things to the code. I'm not an expert, but even that !important tag was messing with it, I haven't really seen CSS Designers use that tag.

7 different displays. That's impressive, but I still see gray on black.
