I think Fireworks just does that anyway because its designed for designing web graphics.

Is there a fireworks equivalent of 'Save For Web'? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ben Bishop Sent: Tuesday, 7 October 2003 12:14 PM To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: FarCry Aura Builds Hi Andrew, Aura is the example set of templates for a Farcry application, so when you first install you have something pretty to look at. You can use the existing templates for your site, build upon them, or ditch them and code your own - the choice is yours. >Looks to be a graphic cut up and put into layers with an associated style >sheet element. If this is correct, why is it a good thing? I am guessing you > > This is a great thing because: - You can effect a site wide layout/design changes simply by referencing different stylesheets as page structure and page design graphics are set in the stylesheet and not in the page template. Left hand column? Open screen_layout.css and change #page to "float:right;" and #sidebar to "float:left;". Horizontally flip the example template and save the images for the web. - You do not need a separate 'print-friendly' page as the print stylesheet can hide unnecessary content and doesn't reference page design graphics. - The total page design graphics created by the example graphics template typically total 5-7 KB. >can put in your own graphic then cut it up, but you would then need to >customise the css as well. Still seems like a lot of work. Am I missing the >point? > > I don't know what your tolerance for "a lot of work" is, but to effect a colour change: fill the background colour, fill the base colour and then save for web. A couple of hex colour changes in the design stylesheet and you've got a new look. You can also get fancy with the example template, or be more adventurous and create your own. Alternatively, you don't need to use graphics at all. Just set the DIV background-colors. >Also, does anyone know when the fireworks version will be released. > > Fireworks reads in the Photoshop file, a few minor layer position changes and you should be right. Brendan has done this work already, I need to upload the file. -Ben http://farcry.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
