Viewing Shape Colour Issues (Bug or not)

Shape Colour Issues (Bug or not)



User: Ollie B. 12 years ago
Hi There

Hope someone can help me, I'm just making a new website moving over from iWeb (have to say love Everweb) but I'm having a couple of problems.

The first main problem is with Colour, basically got some images and I want to to them in a box/shape, so i have created the box and have the image in it, the background of the image is a brownish colour so I have bought up the colour menu and used the magnify glass to copy that colour for the box/shape so both the box and image match and is meant to look like they are made the same (if that makes sense) but for the love of me both colours are a different shade, so the box/shape is now a darker shade of brown compared to the photo with the brown background and then when I preview the image also still does'nt match the box colour, is this a bug or am I not doing something right, I have attached hopefully a image so you know what I mean.

I have even used photoshop to make sure the box/shape has the same RGB numbers.

Also quickly I want to used a very obscure font that no other computer would have and neither would google fonts is there a way to embedded so other computers can see it?

Many Thanks
Ollie

Hi,

You could create a transparent png image for the dogs and place the image and the text on one brown box/shape.

For the fonts, see this thread

Just like to say I had the same problem matching a colour from in EverWeb to photoshop, gave up in the end and took another route, seem it could be a bug.

I would say you are setting yourself a very difficult task!

The two options would be…

(a) To make up the whole thing - text as well - in Photoshop

(b) Do as Cécile suggested and use a PNG and a text box on a background image

Method (a) is not good at all from a web design point of view due to the fact that you are using a fairly large image and the text won't be readable by the SEO spiders. You would need to inset the image using HTML so that you can add alt text. See this page…

Method (b) is better but it would be more efficient if the background was created using CSS and HTML rather than add yet another image.

See this page for adding self hosted fonts…
