Would it be possible to have a Line Shape thinner than "1"....Sometimes I need it to look lighter but can't figure out how to accomplish that... Many thanks! ------------------------------- Yelena MacBook Pro OS X 10.10.3 IMac 21" OS X 10.10.3 |

I would think 1 means 1 pixel... Less then that may be invisible. : ) S ------------------------------- MacBook Pro 15in Retina 10.14.6 Nevada, U.S.A Apple since OS 7.1 LE II (pizza box) |

You can't go less than 1 px since that is the lowest unit on the screen. You can use color to give the illusion of a thinner line by making its color more wishy washy than the nearby colors. Try pasting this code into an HTML Snippet... <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #0000FF"></div><br /> <br /><br /> <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #A0A0FF"></div><br /> <br /><br /> <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #C2D3FF"></div> "Wishy Washy" is a technical term used by non artists! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

In IWeb the thinnest line was 0.25 and true, it was almost invisible...But 0.5 was a very thin line... The one in EW is pretty think at 1...And playing with colors doesn't help much...:)

iWeb uses the same method as I described above except it uses a wasteful image rather than CSS. Try this in iWeb… Create a 1pt horizontal line and select black for the color - #000000 Now create another line 0.5pt wide. Snap both lines with the magnifying glass and you will note that the first line has a color number of #000000 which is 100% on the gray scale. The second has the number #6C6C6C which is mid grey and shows as 43% on the gray scale. Publish the page and look at the code and you will see that both images created by iWeb have a height of 1px. The "thinner" line is just an illusion. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

There are quite a few bugs needing sorted out. I have to use the HTML attributes for the back/forward arrows to insert code and PMs are kind of erratic.

Roddy, I tried the code you provided. That line does look thin. But the line that appears when I insert "Line" from shapes in EW is thicker that that. It looks like 2px. That's what I was talking about... Shouldn't it look as thin?

The difference is that EW uses an image. The Line Widgets use CSS and also give the choice of solid, dotted, dashed and double. Every time you use an image for a line, shape, button etc, not only do you increase the page file size but an additional server request is created. This is particularly detrimental for the mobile version of the site. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
