Ok, how do I do this?
I LOVE NTEN's widget they created for their conference!
http://seed.sproutbuilder.com/hgALifZEAFJ_5IyC
I just want to know how to incorporate some of these features into my widget.
Much of it I, in theory, understand. But much I do not. I have been playing with Sprout trying to figure out how, for example, they put the agenda in that way. How did they create it so the agenda text scrolled down under the bottom image? How did they create the links on the right (agenda, twitter etc.), are they each separate images? Was the background one piece or different sections pieced together.
I can make a decent looking sprout, but how do I take it to the next level?
Thank you!
1 - background 1 vs 2? The background was most likely done w 2 pieces. If you select Edit Master Pages from the box at the bottom.. you get the options of foreground and background
2 - agenda sliding under image - ref above - the image is part of the master pages and placed on the foreground page... so it's always on top. Then in the content pages, just be sure not to put the agenda info too far "under" the foreground image.
3 - links on right - to get that effect... each one is probably a button that has no border and no fill. You can change the way a button looks by adding an image to it (select the button and then look at the properties tab, at the bottom it says button, scroll down to the section where it says up / down / hover / selected and you can click on the select media option next to those).
Awesome Graydon.
Just spending time messing around with it, I am getting the hang!
The one thing I CANNOT figure out though still is how they got the mouse over effect on the icons to flash text?
The only options I get are bevel, emboss etc.
I just got our background back from our designer, so I will be sure to show you guys how it looks. It's gonna be awesome!
Thanks for the help.
Nevermind, I figured it out.
I am going to have to go back now and fix them all. For current progress on the widget, see here!

Thanks for all the help everyone!
Ok, so here is the latest version. Currently sans content. But the design is there!

Thanks again Graydon.
You're welcome... glad I could help.
The sprout looks good.
