design

gimp, photoshop, flash, illustrator, etc.

i already had flash and photoshop installed on a windows vm and i wanted to see how it ran using wine in slackware. (i was getting sick of the marginal delay using vnc)

1) copy adobe over to linux

  • Program FilesAdobe into $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files
  • Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataAdobe into $HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data

2) export the adobe registry branch from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Adobe

3) install additional windows libraries using winetrickssh winetricks vcrun2008 msxml3 atmlib gdiplus

4) import the registry file into wines registry

i managed to get photoshop working this way and i am having difficulty with flash. i will post more once i solve the problem.

i have decided i need to learn how to better use photoshop. i have googled all sorts of diiferent how-tos and seen that many people have written on the subject.

this site trumps them all and its from adobe.

using adobe photoshop cs4

i got the code from dynamicdrive.com. special thanks to them for sharing this awesome bit of code.

the CSS

<style type="text/css">

/*Credits: Dynamic Drive CSS Library */
/*URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/ */

.gallerycontainer{
position: relative;
/*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
}

.thumbnail img{
border: 1px solid white;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
}

.thumbnail:hover{
background-color: transparent;
}

.thumbnail:hover img{
border: 1px solid blue;
}

.thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
position: absolute;
background-color: lightyellow;
padding: 5px;
left: -1000px;
border: 1px dashed gray;
visibility: hidden;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}

.thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
border-width: 0;
padding: 2px;
}

.thumbnail:hover span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
visibility: visible;
top: 0;
left: 230px; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */
z-index: 50;
}

the html

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb">

 

as you can see from the code, its fairly straightforward to use.

once again, special thanks to dynamicdrive.com for this.

my new favorite css line ->

text-transfrom: lowercase;

simply awesome.
