DEFLIGRA STACKS

RapidWeaver + Stacks = Powerful Web Design

  • ButtonAlien Stack
    Top Links are good plain old css hover links. No Hocus Pocus.
    Define the size of each 'button' / 'menu item'. Make the stacks float and drop them in a 1 column stack.
    Define link color, hover link color, background color, background hover color.


    Works pretty much as the example at the top of the page… just added a little css3.

    Same procedure - just define the shape and / or the css3 effect.
    The CSS3 effects are for CSS3 browsers only… meaning Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and IE9.

    So spread the words…
    invite people to use a modern browser!
    One more thing… add tillable images to your button, icons, smileys or what else your heart desires.

    Just drag-drop images to the stacks info pane. Really no pain at all...

How do you do?
ButtonAlien

Menu - How to?
How to create a hover menu… with Stacks 2

Very simple… you see the 6 simple buttons on top? They are created with the the Fill Mode: Float and a fixed width - and then the buttons has been dropped to a 1 column stack.

This way - it's super simple to add a new menu item to your customized menu. Even if you have to add a menu item in the middle of the menu.
Browsers
Internet Explorer 7 and 8 - oh no...

CSS3… are for CSS3 browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9. The button will work alright - but without the advanced CSS3 features.

IE7 and IE8. But you can create some cool buttons - you just have to be a little creative and create some cool unique graphic… for your image and hover image.

I'll create some more examples… sooooooon.
Demos
Simple menu without any graphic

Download the demo here. Works really simple… Stacks 2 does all the hard work. Look at the Info Pane (HUD). All the buttons has Fill Mode: Float and a width depending on the text. Really simple. Maintaining two - you just drag the 'menu items' around.
