Nav bar problems and colors!

I hate when I can't figure something out and it is usually some very simple thing. Here are a few things... First I want to start with a blank page. I honestly think that you should have a blank page option in your theme choices. Because you have to go to white, choose blank and it's not really blank. It has a navigation bar up top that says "home" (or whatever I named the first page). I don't understand the difference between that nav bar that is there automatically and the nav widget? With that nav bar that is there I seem unable to add a background color to it. If I go down to shapes, and make a shape, it won't go all the way up to the nav bar. A blue "guide" line appears and it won't allow me to take the shape up there. I have the header and footer set for 0. If I delete that nav bar that came with the page and add a nav widget, I can't get it up to the top of the page where the auto nav bar was. I get those blue guild lines again and they stop me from moving it up there. How do I get it into that space? (see pix 1 below) Next if I use the nav bar widget, again I still can't get it into that top space. And when I set the color option there.. what the heck is it changing? I set the "background" color for bright red and the mouseover color for bright orange. As you can see from pix 2 below, the text color is blue and the mouse over color is red. So what is orange? Lastly I'm having trouble with the color picker and again, that nav bar. The only way I can actually get colors up to the very top is to start with a theme that has colors there, delete most everything and change the colors of the nav bar color shape that were already there with that particular theme. However I can't get the colors to match. I am trying to make a nav bar with a curve on the bottom so I use the rectangle shape and the circle shape (stretched out) and put that circle shape overlapping but below the rectangle and then put the nav text on top of it all. So now I need to make the rectangle and the stretched out circle the same color. And I can't. I've saved the color to the color picker custom color. I highlight the rectangle, click the custom color and it won't change. I tried to drag the color off the color picker to the shape on the screen. Nope it won't drag. So I try to drag the custom color off the picker to the color box on the navigator window that should be changing the color of that rectangle. Nope it won't drag into that box either. The only way I am able to make them the same is to go to the color picker, find the rgb of the color I want off the stretched circle. Then click on the rectangle and put that rgb number into the color picker rgb thing. I can't change it any other way. I've used the magnifying thing too, put it right over the color i want on stretched circle while it the rectangle is highlighted and click and nope that won't work either. Why? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? See pix 3 below. Susan |

To get items from the content area into the header or footer, hold down the command key while dragging or select "Allow free dragging" for the object in the metrics inspector. The navigation on the template is the navigation widget which is inserted by default. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Are you using the Shape Options inspector to change the color? I don't see it open in your screenshot.

In the first pix which is labeled pix 3..... I think that is the shape inspector.... right? It says "shape" then rectangle next to that. I just can't get it to change colors with the color picker no matter what I do. Started a new website and I'm having the same issue. I have to go to the RGB and type it in. Grrrrrrr... Susan |

Make sure you click the color chooser in the inspector... I know it's not easy to see if it is selected or not because the Developers refuse to allow the border to stay lighted up after it is clicked! Perhaps if more people complained about it they would listen? ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hmmm I'll play around with it. By not outlined... for example when I insert a text box and then make it larger for more width there are no lines when I drag the corner. I sort of have to guess where it is. Is that what you mean by the outline disappearing? Cuz that is driving me bonkers! Susan |

Are you working with the layout turned off? If so turn it on from the Window drop down menu or do - Shift/Command/L

Ok that's it. In iWeb even with the layout turned off I still get an outline in a text box when I'm working with it. So I guess its a matter of teaching this old dog some new tricks. I just posted another problem in another thread. Yikes! Thanks again! Susan |

Even something has seemingly easy and straightforward as this creates other issues and the way software is developed may require rewrites of other parts of the code. I have looked into this and it is in our to do list. But it isn't super easy to get right at this moment.
