Heya folks. I’m seeking to create a nav bar influenced by gradients. Now, the gradient goes one of many ways usually, and the other on hover. But I’m not sure how to handle it to indicate the particular current’ section. Any ideas If you’d like imagery, I can attempt to put some in place.
Maybe select a darker version belonging to the regular gradient As well as, change the font colour
How about just a plain color… no gradient I’ve noticed this done before (don’t ask me where… I don’t remember) along with I remember thinking so it was a nice contrasting tool for doing it.
karinne — I’ve tried that, but I don’t like it much. Maybe I’m not using the right color, though — I used one of the two extremes. I’ll see what goes on if I use maybe one of the colors from in the gradient.
I’ll try that darker version on the gradient, -chris-, that was not a bad thought. Changing the font colour isn’t enough, however, in my impression.
How about like this, or this, using a color not while in the gradient, but somewhere else in the web site
Ok, can this look: http: //theoldquarter. dyndns. org: 3000/countries/
UPDATE: I should mention we know the table appears absolute crap — I’m mostly focused on the general system
I like it.
That’s excellent… see… told anyone so
Properly, actually, while it appears the selected’ impact on the sidebar is definitely a solid colour, it isn’t
Once i originally asked, my focus was the superior menu bar — exactly where I took -chris-‘s solution and just designed the selected 1 darker (in instance you’re interested, I just now took the original image and fit a black semitransparent disguise over it).
Then I changed my focus on the lower part in the site, which looked like crap. The present effect is:
(1) The sidebar itself incorporates a gradient from your light blue into a darker blue.
(2) The primary body has any fade from white towards light blue from above.
On the other hand, the gradient within the main body doesn’t actually start the place that the sidebar ends — it starts in the leftmost side in the selected’ menu item. So the gradient goes in the selected menu item all the way across the web page. It’s barely visible, but I think it makes it better, if only subtly so.
WE noticed it, and enjoy it.
Why don’t you consider introducing another color into the mix I really like blue (my favorite) but I am partial to sites which have lots of color. It seems for instance you are going for a professional look which is often kind of decreasing. I work being a webmaster for a genuine estate company and most of the time their ‘guidelines’ prevents creativity. Currently prohibited not allowed to make use of red because of an highly intense superstition the CEO has concerning this. He thinks which if we employ red our company finish up going out involving business. HA! That of a whack-job!
Yeah, well, really professional is a part of what I’m attempting to achieve in this specific context, I’m scared Also, other shades I’ve tried to mix in haven’t so much worked too properly.
