Is there a way to create a chrome-like tab using CSS?

Question

I have been looking for a Google Chrome-like tab written using CSS but cannot find one.

I am trying to replicate the look in order to use it in a web application or a website.

Answer 1

yeah its possible, with css3

Ive posted a blog about how to its a lil depthy, and sadly enouth not going to work on ie unless you use images

Edit:

Removed old reference to redeyeoperations cause its a link farm now. This is a bit lighter version also it is up on a 3rd party site, so its less likely to be down.

Here is the code

var tabs = $('.tabs > li');

tabs.on("click", function(){
  tabs.removeClass('active');
  $(this).addClass('active');
});

body {
  background: #efefef;
  font: .8em sans-serif;
  margin: 0;
}

.tab-container {
  background: #2BA6CB;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  max-height: 35px;
}

ul.tabs {
  margin: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  line-height: 35px;
  max-height: 35px;
  overflow: hidden;
  display: inline-block;
  padding-right: 20px
}

ul.tabs > li.active {
  z-index: 2;
  background: #efefef;
}

ul.tabs > li.active:before {
  border-color: transparent #efefef transparent transparent;
}

ul.tabs > li.active:after {
  border-color: transparent transparent transparent #efefef;
}

ul.tabs > li {
  float: right;
  margin: 5px -10px 0;
  border-top-right-radius: 25px 170px;
  border-top-left-radius: 20px 90px;
  padding: 0 30px 0 25px;
  height: 170px;
  background: #ddd;
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  max-width: 200px;
}

ul.tabs > li > a {
  display: inline-block;
  max-width: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #222;
}

ul.tabs > li:before,
ul.tabs > li:after {
  content: '';
  background: transparent;
  height: 20px;
  width: 20px;
  border-radius: 100%;
  border-width: 10px;
  top: 0px;
  border-style: solid;
  position: absolute;
}

ul.tabs > li:before {
  border-color: transparent #ddd transparent transparent;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(48deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(48deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(48deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(48deg);
  transform: rotate(48deg);
  left: -23px;
}

ul.tabs > li:after {
  border-color: transparent transparent transparent #ddd;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-48deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(-48deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-48deg);

}
