- Dewdrops Mini-icons For Web Page Designers

-
- Welcome to Dewdrops 2.1. Please register this shareware as soon as you
- can afford to. There are no nag screens just this reminder in the readme
- file. Thousands have downloaded Dewdrops. So far only one has paid.
- Please pay your $25 for this program if you find it useful. See below
- for details.
-
- Most of these graphics are my own work. The big exception is the lines
- which are all non-copyright material from the Web. Thank you to those
- who have put their good work on the Web.
-
- Once you have unzipped the file use File Manager in Windows and drag
- the Dewdrops directory and drop it into the directory of your Web
- Editor. This will make the Dewdrops gif files more accessible to
- your Web Editor.
-
- How To Use The Graphics
-
- Most if not all Web editors have an insert graphic command. Use this to
- insert the graphics in the Web document.
-
- Make sure that you copy the graphics across to the server.
-
- Make sure that the directory specified in the Web document is the
- directory that the graphic is in ON THE SERVER. Put graphics in the same
- directory as the document and just insert them by their name without any
- path. So the code should read "something.gif" and the graphic should be
- in the same directory as "something.htm" - the Web document.
-
- Use small graphics to break up large slabs of text, as markers besides
- lists, as attention grabbing indicators when an important point is being
- made and for splashes of colour and visual relief. As a rule of thumb do
- not have more than 30K of graphics on a single page if you want it to
- load quickly on slow links. As many dewdrops are only 1-2K you can
- use them freely.
-
- How To Use Backgrounds.
-
- There should be 66 bacground gif files in a directory called backgrnd.
-
- Insert the graphics using the BACKGROUND=*.GIF command where *.gif is
- the particular graphic you have selected. Most recent Web editors have a
- "background graphic" command. Do NOT confuse this with the BGCOLOUR
- (background colour) command which is quite different.
-
- Netscape will tile out these graphics so they fill the page. That is why
- they can be so small, these graphics are deliberately small so that they
- will load quickly and visitors to your home page will not be frustrated
- by the delay of a slow loading background.
-
- Use soft backgrounds e.g paperblu.gif for most purposes when normal
- sized text has to be read.
-
- For attention grabbing frames use a startling background like shock.gif.
- If you use use a very strong background check your text colour and size
- carefully to ensure it is still readable.
-
- Always check that your background graphic and text and link colours are
- compatible.
-
- Backgrounds help set the atmosphere of your page. Use parchment.gif if
- you want a traditional feel. Use hints2.gif if you want a soft feel.
- Loveltr.gif is for romantics etc.
