Preserved Topic: Sliders? (Page 1 of 1)

O.K. let's not talk about the sliders....I guess everybody allready has that down huh?
They sure are nice though.
I love the new forum look Doc. Every time I try to use a blue that dark, all the PCers I know think it's black.<P>------------------

I think that it might help if you were to let everyone know what you mean by 'sliders'.<P>------------------
-I'm not a complete idiot,
there are some parts missing.

Sorry......I'm not exactly sure what to call that....It's the only thing I see sliding across the top of the Ozone home page....It's sort of a button type thingy that drags across the catagories....Semi-Transparent & sleek. Know what I'm talking about?<P>------------------

Heh, I've been asked a bunch about a tutorial for that device. Gad, where would I even begin to start? I know a lot of folks who tend to build all of their code as neat little packages, but I don't! <P>Hey! Cool little hack I just thought of, off to modify the front page! Back in a flash!<P><P>------------------

Woo-hho! Changed the behavious just a bit, what d'ya think?<P>The dark blue? I set the gamma on my mac way low, it's nearly as dark as an older PC, a good compromise, I want folks to see my work!<P>PC users, can you see that my background is blue, and not black? Hope so!<P>Your pal, -doc-

Way to go Doc, dark blue nudging toward the
grey, but no black.<P>------------------

Cool.....Yeah, a tutorial in that slider direction would be great! If you changed the blue I can't tell....looks about the same here...I guess I should get a PC just to see where the tweak zone is.<P>------------------

I just had to adjust the brightness and contrast of my monitor to see that the background was actually blue!! Thanks for the tip, I would never have known!<P>p.s. it's nice to finally be properly acknowledged as a maniac : )<P>------------------

What a great idea....I'm going to send my PC friends here and tell them to adjust the monitor till it's blue....I always get the feeling that they have the display sideways.<P>------------------

for you mac users out there-- I have a handy little app that lets you toggle the gamma on your monitor. you put it in your fonts folder of all places and when you hold down command-shift-9 you can toggle between mac and pc gammas. works great. where should I send or upload it to make it available to others?<P>------------------
I'm not cheap, but I am on sale this week!

If you have server space upload it there and give us a link. If you don't have a server let me know and I can host if for you.

About the slider, I personally liked it better the first way; when it was only visible with the mouse at the top of the page.

Hmm, yah, but it IS different, eh? I only commented out that area, probably I'll add it back in, maybe.<P><P>------------------

I like the slider both ways, but the new way seems to be more obvious....Anyway I'd like that app...for the pc to Mac gamma..Is that anywhere yet?<P>------------------

WOW...is all I can say to myself when I first saw the slider...did Doc ever tell anyone how to make that cuz I would love to learn how to do that!<P>------------------
