RTL? -webkit-margin-start: 50px; might be what you're looking for

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

Done.

+  position: relative;
+  top: 3px;

[Dan Beam, 2013/05/23 23:06:48]

^ why are you using relative + top?  wouldn't margin-top work for this or
something?

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

I just tried it and since buttons and the header-title will try to keep the same
baseline, I won't achieve my result. relative + top just work.

[Dan Beam, 2013/05/23 23:06:48]

does this work without -webkit? also rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.0) -> white

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

I found that it works in practice.

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-images-3/#linear-gradients
Is it safe to use that?

+      rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));

[Dan Beam, 2013/05/23 23:06:48]

RTL?  just adding right: 0; may be enough...

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

Removed left:0.

+  position: fixed;

[Dan Beam, 2013/05/23 23:06:48]

^ does this app ever scroll?

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

The "toolbar" + the gradient at the bottom of the toolbar of this app should
stick to the top while the bottom part will scroll.
Here's a preview.

[Dan Beam, 2013/05/23 23:06:48]

^ RTL

[dvh, 2013/05/24 04:33:42]

I removed "margin-right: 0".
I'll investigate "float: right" though.
