When making websites, I often use transparent png's (f.i. created with http://www.noisetexturegenerator.com/) to give the design a more material, realistic look.
Now, I'm working on a design which also heavily uses borders, so I wondered if it was possible to add texture the same way. (i.o.w. defining a solid border and overriding it with the png (the png is transparent so it has to adapt to the previously specified solid color))
To my knowledge it can't be done this way with border-image
, since browsers then ignore the solid color. (I preferably do not set a border-image with fixed color for this purpose)
The job could also be done using nested div's, but that would be less semantic and I would have to modify some Joomla views.
Additionally, assume I have a 100x100px png (same as for background), how would I have to set it so that it does not resize and keeps proportions or that the border gets some unexpected transitions (like imaginary lines due to misplacing of patterns)
Anyway, has someone else suggestions? (css noisy borders)
