Hi
Must say I like Site Spinner.
I do miss a couple of thing's I had on my old Web design software,

1) Being able to Use Drop shadow's of any colour, at various angles, on Image's or Headline text,

2) On mouse rollover's being able to choose your second image, by pointing to where the second image is, instead of pasting one image on top of the other,

3) Being able (again) to have your images appear in different ways on their respective page. box in box out swipe up swipe down, and so on.

I have started to rebuild my website using site spinner, as my old one looks a bit dated now, mind you it was my first attempt,
If your not sure what I mean in No's 1 2 & 3 then have a look at my web site
www.cosmickatz.co.uk
the headline has droped shadows, the three images change on mouseover,

That said I do like Site Spinner and think it is well worth the money..

Hi lawman,

Thank you for the feedback, consider all your points noted.

A couple of points:

1) Though there is no function specifically for drop-shadows, it is fairly easy to create them. Try this: select the object you want to have a drop shadow. Now press copy/paste. You have now created a copy of your object that you can place behind your original by press the 'to-back' button (on the bottom tool-bar). You can then use either the Quick Editor (shading tab) or the Shading Editor (bottom toolbar) to change the colour and appearance of the drop shadow. You can also use the Object Edit mode option (left tool bar) to change its size, shape, etc.

2) OK, that would be something like a Mouse-Over Wizard

3) I am not sure what you mean exactly by this. However, you can change the shape, angle, of your object - click on the Object Editor (bottom tool-bar) and then click on the Transformation tab - you can then skew, mirror, flip, ect your object

Hi LM,

ah, I see, nifty image tricks. You are right, we don't have these kind of functions for objects at the present time, though there are similiar types of 'page' transitions availabe in the Page Editor > Special Effects
