What Hacker News says
3 sourcesThe cut-off glow effect in Firefox? I guess the reason for that is a bug in the viewport calculation for the laser’s box-shadow. I mostly focused on webkit. If anyone knows a fix, code is here http://github.com/evilhackerdude/lasers
About resolution independence: I believe we could hack the CSS to use appropriate percentage values for the laser rays. Basically calculate a percentage for width or height in JS and apply that so it scales with the window automatically.
