This is exactly what I was working on last night! I have already been able to track mouse proximity around an element (not exactly rocket science!) but I removed the script and HTML from the page because I didn't want some folks getting confused.
Determining its distance from dead centre, however, proves to be a challange. But I guess it's just a case of determining the width and height of the element, dividing the values by two, and adding that with the value of the mouse position x and y divided by two. The closer the mouse gets to the centre, the close to zero it gets. Sounds simple enough! :-P wycats wrote: > > It would be nice if surrounding icons to the one being hovered over also > got > magnified (by exponentially smaller amounts). > > Example: > > If we had an icon set of A B C D E F G > > And D was being hovered over, the magnifications might be as follows: > > A 100% > B 120% > C 144% > D 172% > E 144% > F 120% > G 100% > > What Apple does to make the effect really slick is modify the > magnfications > depending where on the icon the mouse is.
