@Richard Glad this helps you. Good find on working with YUI 3.x Panel; makes sense since the Standard Module structure (hd, bd, ft) is the same.

Brilliant, thanks for this. Was literally about to try this myself this week!

Works in YUI 2.x panels as well if you remove the “yui-widget-” from the CSS and set underlay to “none”

@Joacim Feel free to create a 1x1 alpha-transparent PNG that's black @ 50% opacity; then you could do this in CSS:

.yui-widget #fbOverlay {
	background: url(path/to/bg-image.png);
	background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

Since IE doesn't know about rgba it will ignore it, letting the background image shine through.

Cool!

But it would’ve been nice with an example where the borders worked in at least IE7 or IE8 as well. (I know CSS3 isn’t supported, but still).

Thanks!

Wrote my thoughts on YUI 3 Widget skinning on the YUI Library Forum.

@Luke if YUI 3 starts to have more of a story around custom skinning I will ;-)
