In IE 8, the triangles are missing and that takes a lot from the theme. I've attached screenshots. It's very pretty on other browsers, but IE remains a problem child.

Title: Internet Explorer 8 breaks the pretty triangles at the top » Decide how to deal with canvas triangles in IE8
Category: bug » task

Switching this to a task and slightly renaming, as it isn't a bug. The triangles are drawn to the canvas element, but IE8 doesn't natively support the canvas element so the triangles don't show up.

Thoughts are welcome on how best to proceed. I think there's also the question of whether Neptune should explicitly support a browser which is now two major versions old and declining in market share.

I'm going to try to find something that may allow the javascript image header, but should I fail at that perhaps a background image only for LTE ie8?

I've documented a solution which uses explorercanvas.

I'm not planning to make it part of Neptune, but if people want to support triangles in IE8 it's easy enough to implement.
