Text Box with Rounded Corners

[George]

Is there a way in NOF 11 to crate text boxes with rounded corners?

Thanks...

You can add CSS-3 properties in Style View.

One that I believe is supported is for rounded corners.

If you don't want to go there, you can use a product like EZround to do graphical rounded corners. Endless possibilities there.

Hi George,

The easiest way to get this effect in NOF is to use our EZRound product.

http://www.ezround.com

This inexpensive and simple to use program lets you instantly create
containers for your page content that can have rounded corners (on all
sides or just on some if you prefer) as well as drop shadows, accent bands
and other special effects.

EZRound requires no graphic design skills - everything is just pick and
choose from the options and the design is created right in front of your
eyes. You can even press F11 at any time and see what the design would
look like on your web page.

Then when your ready, EZRound will slice the graphic into the smallest
possible slices and create a HTML container to use them. These can be
saved as PNG, JPG or GIF files.

Your content (text, photos, movies, whatever) goes inside the container and
the end result is that the container surrounds your content.


You can also apply the container to the entire page. This gives you a nice
border around the entire website and centers the page in all browsers.

EZRound is really a nice way to breath new life into the standard NOF site
styles.

There is a free trial version available for download on the website so you
can see for yourself just how easy it is to use.


BTW - we even have tutorials that are designed just for NOF users.

There is a Universal Import Tutorial here:
http://www.ezround.com/html/universal.html

Also one on creating a centered page effect here:
http://www.ezround.com/centered/

The tutorials mention NOF 11, but we'll be updating them soon to say NOF 12
as well.

Note that on the centered page effect, you don't have to split the HTML by
hand any longer. The new Export Manager of EZRound 3 does that for you at
the click of a button. It also has a toggle that will automatically adjust
the HTML of the container for your Home page vs the other pages (that go
into the HTML folder on the website).


EZRound can also export the designs without slicing them - an any size you
specify. This feature (called EZSingle) allows you to create the blanks
for buttons and banners. Very useful if you want to create your own site
style in NOF or use them as a background on a FORM.

The banner, graphics and buttons on the EZRound website were all created
with EZRound.

EZRound comes with a 30 day risk free money back guarantee. So feel free
to buy it before you try it if your so inclined.

Or download the free trial edition and give it a spin. Then you can join
the thousands of NOF designers who use it.

Good luck on your projects!

Charles

Thanks, Chuck & Charles:

I'd like to learn more about working with CSS, but for now EZround sounds
like the way to go.

Thanks again...

Yes you can - and then import the graphic into EZRound and it will slice it
and create the HTML container for you.

Yes. Both Xara DesignPro and EZRound are great tools to use with Netrobjects. Everyone should upgrade to the latest Version 3 of EZRound. It's a very small price to pay for all you get.

I would definately recommend EZround (Free beer please Charles) It has
proved to be invaluable in giving some tired old styles a complete new
lease of life and possibly coming close to emulating Flash webs sites in
HTML.
