Shadow for Page Background

If you are just trying out stuff, why not create a test site for doing it? Then you can copy over anything you actually want to use to the real project. EverWeb makes this easy by allowing you to have two or more projects open at the same time.

When you are done, just delete the test project file and all the assets with it. I have more test sites than I have real ones!

That's just it, I wasn't testing at first, I was trying to build a website and then I started noticing all of these things. Like in the screenshot attached, every time i create a shape using the EverWeb shape tools some strange white line appears on the right side of the shape both within EverWeb and the Internet browser. It apparently happens on rounded shapes worse than triangular ones, on those it's just at the very tips. I just uninstalled EverWeb and downloaded again from the site and reinstalled to make sure that it wasn't just me and it's still happening. Plus, as you can see from the screenshot the color from within EverWeb is different than what is being published which is also an issue. I noticed that the 'magnifying glass/color eyedropper' also picks up a different shade of color if a select one object to transfer color to something else. The only way to get the same color is to create a swatch from the color I want and apply is using that.

I never use shape images so I hadn't looked at them until now. The white line appears when the object width is set as an uneven number of pixels and disappears when the number is even!

In web design I tend to stick with a limited range of colors that I know from experience work OK. I use the hex color number to define them and have Hex Color Picker added to my color window.

Thanks for that color picker add-on, it was driving me crazy being unable to type in a hex code for specific colors. As for the white line that appears on the shapes, I figured out a work around which is to use a color gradient fill and have both of the colors be the same, this gets rid of the line and it doesn't matter if it's even or odd, it still doesn't appear, which is good, tedious like everything else, but still works. Also, I noticed when using the Navigation widget, there would be tiny gaps that would appear when hovering over the page link options when published even though the spacing is set to zero, and it's impossible to get the edges of the widget to sit flush on both side of the Page Layout even though the size/width of the widget matches that of the Content Width exactly. I've found a work around for this also, by reducing the width of the navigation widget to where it's smaller than the page width and placing a shape with the exact same width as the page and height/color of the widget behind the widget which takes care of both issues, but it would be really nice not to have to rely on work arounds for every single step of the process.

Here is a screenshot of one of the gaps, I've moved the shape I put underneath so the gap could be seen, there are two more gaps which appear once you hover the mouse over certain links, I tried to post photos of all three but this forum, only posted the same photo three times, so I deleted them from my original response.
