Graphics that appear when hovering over menu buttons

Hello,
I use to create menus in DVDSP 1 that would allow me to associate a picture with menu text.
I would like to do that now, and have the picture show up when the button is either hovered over or selected. This would be in addition to the text changing colors when hovered over.
Thanks.

Just to take Aldershot's suggestion a tad further...
You can do this in several ways - firstly, you can use a Photoshop layer based menu, but there are good reasons not to do that. However, if you need full colour and have a complex design this might be your only choice.
Secondly, you can use an overlay menu and mask off areas of the background with the overlay shapes. Setting the opacity to 0% for the selected and activated states will reveal what is under the overlay shape - you can have the graphic set into the background and achieve what you want.
Finally, you need to remember that the overlay pictures can only hold four colours so to reveal an image by setting it in to the overlay is not going to be very good overall.
There is more about this here:

  • How to make hovering over menu buttons like history, bookmarks and options, open thier expanded menu without hovering over the arrow next to them?

    I'm at the tail-end of the "fix the newest update" and the last thing i wanna do before i head out the door is make it so that when i open the menu and hover over the things like history bookmarks and options, that their sub menus open when my mouse is hovering over the words or the arrows. right now the sub menus only open when i hover over the arrows.
    I wanna make the words and their arrows a single button with the functional purpose of both.
    Thank you in advanced for your time.

    Are you using the Classic Theme Restorer extension?

    That is one of the things that I noticed as well when using this extension.<br />
    Maybe contact its developer to see if this behavior can be changed.

  • Wish to create an interactive indesign document with moving boxes that grow when hovered over

    Hey guys,
    I am using indesign cs5 to create an interactive flashpage.  We want to have a series of boxes floating around the page and when one of them is hovered over it increases in size.
    We are able to create the floating boxes and by duplicating the boxes and grouping them, we a re able to make them grow.
    However, instead of growing towards the centre of the screen they seem to grow towards and then off the edge of the page.  Would anyone be able to advise me as to how i can force them to grow towards the centre or even create a boundary they cant go over

  • Heavy slowdowns when hovering over menu items (v12.1)

    I experience heavy slowdowns and increased CPU usage of mutliple background processes (Chrome, Task Manager, Explorer, DWM and Photoshop for example) when clicking on a menu item which opens the drop-down list. The more images I have open the worse it gets.
    This is on a laptop with a i7-2640M CPU, 8GB memory, SSD and NVidia GT520M videocard.
    Running on Win7 Home Premium.
    Any ideas what could be the cause of this?

    Might start with the video card.  How does your card compare with the tested list below?  Does the GT and M mean something special?
    Do you have anything like Crossfire with it?  PS does not support that.

  • Rotate cursor doesn't appear when hovering over a placed images corner node

    Sometimes I can manually rotate an image by hovering my cursor near the corner node of a placed image till it changes to the rotate cursor then clicking and dragging the node to rotate the image.
    Other times hovering around the node doesn't make the rotate cursor appear. Even if I make the image small so there should be room to rotate within the canvas.
    Why am I not able to rotate an image this way all the time?

    And of course I just figured out I have to switch to the the Selection Tool to rotate after using the Direct Selection Tool to select the image.

  • Yellow Box when hovering over links

    Hi All,
    I have read a few discussions surrounding the 'yellow box' that appears when hovering over links in safari. Last I read some time ago revealed this is an intergrated 'feature' of safari. Is this still the case?? Or have enough users complained to have this 'feature' squashed (fingers crossed.....)
    Thanks

    You may keep your fingers crossed.  Hovering produces the yellow information box.
    Ciao.

  • Tooltip when hovering over tabs

    I find that the tooltip which appears when hovering over a tab gets in the way of my workflow sometimes. For example, I'm unable to quickly access options on the Application or Options bars when it's present. This generally seems to be the case when I've got the tabs snapped to the Application Frame. Is it possible to turn the tooltips for the tabs off?

    Thanks, I do see the "Show Tool Tips" option but I was hoping there might be some way to avoid turning off all the tool tips (I rely on them every now and then when I need a reminder of what an option or tool is for). I can probably just deal with it since it's a small nuisance. It's mostly an issue with moving the cursor horizontally out of the tooltip and that tooltip not disappearing immediately.
    Vid of tooltip behavior

    Please note: I'm purposely stopping on the tab in the video to force it to show. Most of the time I've just inadvertently paused on the tab while on my way to access an option on one of the bars.

  • I use QVC online a lot. When hovering over a catagory headings at the top of the page, a drop down menu shows a list of subcategories. Is this feature available in Firefox 4 & 5? If so, how do I turn it on?

    I use QVC online a lot. When hovering over a category heading in IE9 a drop down menu appears with detailed subheadings for that category. Is this feature available in Firefox versions 4 and 5? Is this something that can be turned on in Firefox 4 & 5? If so, how do I turn this feature on?

    Hey Dave,
    How did you get on with this?
    Have you tried CSS position:fixed?  I have been playign around with it on my own project  (and in fact are just about to post a related question)  and can confirm that it works with a plain old DIV.
    SVG I can't be sure though..
    Certainly give it a try.
    Cheers

  • How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

    Hi people,
    I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
    The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
    Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

    Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
    <div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

  • Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form?

    Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form? This box contains the item name or caption.

  • Using Firefox 7 in Windows 7, however, when hovering over task bar the icon reveals Firefox 4 beta 12. Is there a fix, please?

    When hovering over the Firefox icon in the task bar on a blank desktop in Windows 7, the wrong version is revealed.

    Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

    I just finished my menu and I notice that the hovering color is not hiding all the white.  Does someone know how to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

    Thanks!

    You have heights on the ul, li as 36px and a line-height of the text of 35px so they are not matching up.  Personally speaking I would normally recommend using padding on the links to create the height and not set the height on the ul or li elements.

  • What should I do about an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored my iPhone?

    I have an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored the software in my iPhone, and I do not know what to do about the strange file.  The scenario is as follows:
    Recently I was having some problems with the proximity sensor on the iPhone, and I read that if one restored the software on the iPhone, this often allowed the sensor to be calibrated and it would work properly.  Thus I synchronized (backed up) the iPhone and then wiped it out and reinstalled the software.  At the point iTunes asked me did I want to restore the phone from a backup, I decided that since I did not to re-import any corrupted stuff from the old installation that might affect the operation of the proximity sensor, then I would start over and just set it up as a new phone.  I was able to get what little I wanted of stuff otherwise from the iCloud and my music from iTunes, so everything seems to have gone fine. 
    However, now I have a file that has an image of a Lego-block with musical notes and an iPod on its sides that appeared on the desktop.  The odd file is called "iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".  What on earth is this all about????  When I search the internet, I see people who have jailbroken their iPhones talking about .ipsw files, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not done anything to jailbreak my iPhone, nor would I ever want to do such.  Why did this file appear on my desktop? What is this file for for?  Can I delete this file?
    Thank you.

    I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing.  I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).

  • BB10 browser - Hovering over Menu bar does not unfold items (Playbook can do this, but not Z30)

    Using the browser to access https://www.voip.ms/m/index.php
    On a Playbook, the menu items on the top bar unfold and allow user to select sub-menus. 
    On a Z30, nothing happens when hovering over the menu items.
    The BB10 touch browser seems to miss a pointer feature : browser doesn't recognize the hover option in the voip.ms menu.

    BB10 devices do not recognize the "hover" feature as you've described it, this is true. I don't have a PlayBook and cannot comment on any features available to it. However, you should be able to click for options where available. I know PC browsers have this feature but despite the BB10 browser being one of the most advanced mobile browsers, it does not incorporate this feature. All I can say is, if you can't do it on a BB10 browser, chances are you cannot do it on ANY other mobile browser.
    Cheers.  
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • Yellow pop up box when hovering over links missing in CC?

    The behavior when hovering over links in the Links Panel in CS6 was a yellow pop up box with the full path of the link displayed.
    I find that is not the behavior in CC and I am really missing that.
    Have I missed a setting somewhere to enable this in CC?

    That was it.
    Tool tips was not enabled. Enabling it brings back the yellow box. Didn't really think of that as a tool tip.
    Thanks
