Internet Explorer 10/11 is actually nice. Stop living in 1995... and it's actually funny how Chrome is doing the exact same thing IE did in the early 90s, but since it's not MS doing bad things, they aren't bad all of a sudden.

But yeah, now with HTML5 finally defined completely, guess the bullshit google has been doing will go away, and we'll finally have a vendor prefixless web again.

> Name it anything except Internet Explorer.

they could probably rebrand a new version of IE and have it be successful seriously that name carries to much weight

Chrome fucking sucks. Use Opera if you absolutely need Webkit -- at least THEY will let you install external extensions.

Because they are wrongly implemented:

background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,0% 100%,0% 0%,from(#70a9ff),to(#8fccff)) !important;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(19% 75% 90deg,#70a9ff,#8fccff);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(90deg,#70a9ff,#8fccff);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#8fccff',EndColorStr='#70a9ff');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#8fccff', EndColorStr='#70a9ff')";

From the blue theme... IE actually supports gradients, for example:
> background-image: linear-gradient(0deg,#70a9ff,#8fccff);

It would work perfectly and give you the gradient you're expecting... screencap related, MC in IE with a modified blue.css, just that one line was added...

Microsoft take a lot of stick for their browser, but from people who don't use it.

I use it all the time and it works fine for me.

PS. First post!

--Tried the blue theme, but it still doesn't display the gradients.--
Noticed you said modified.
Would this one line work for the purple theme? "Sim" I believe was the name.

Set your style to custom and use:
http://purplemini.neocities.org/purple-ms-allbrowsers.css

I didn't know where else to host it since userstyles is retarded these days.
Should work on all browsers (only have firefox and IE11 on this machine).

Also, damn you, now you got me thinking about the styles and messing around... if I won't be too lazy I'll release a few flat metro-like styles.

Pic related, 8bit Toad Flat work in progress.

Went to see what style I was using, and I was surprised to see.

wow, that's better; and all you did was add that one line?

A metro looking Minichan layout? Please keep us updated.
That might be cool.

I removed some stuff as well that I think isn't necessary anymore... but pretty much yeah, added the prefixless gradient where it belonged...
