FRONTLOOK TIP OF THE MONTH
We recently revamped our web site using our
Simplicity Blues Super Theme. Some of you
were wondering how we created some of the
theme-styled rollovers buttons on the left
panel that are outside the FP navigation
system.
This FrontLook Tip will show you how to make
a theme-styled rollover button set using
FrontPage without using an image editor!
After making the rollover buttons, the tip
will discuss how to use JavaScript to make
the button highlight and hyperlink.

FRONTLOOK QUICK TIPS
APPLYING A SUPER THEME TO AN EXISTING WEB
You can download our Super Theme Sampler from
your personal download page, see "Accessing
your FrontLook.com Account" below for more info.
FIRST - BACK UP YOUR WEB BEFORE you apply a
Super Theme. As in any global change to your
web, it is typically easier to restore your
web from a backup copy than back out global
changes.
Bring up your web site that you wish to apply
a Super Theme to. Go to the 'Format' menu and
select the 'Super Themes...' menu item. The
Super Theme user interface will appear.
Browse through the list of themes and select
one to see a preview of the new wrap-around
Super Theme.
Press the Customize button on the left panel
to change the copyright, author and other
information.
Press the OK button to apply the Super Theme
to your web. Your current shared borders will
be backed up in the _borders folder. The Super
Themes dialog will disappear and the new super
theme will be applied to your web.
Now you can further customize and add other
information to the shared border areas.
Its that easy!
See our Help File for more information on using
the Super Theme product.
USING FRONTLOOK WITH FRONTPAGE 2002
After installing FrontPage 2002, you will
need to uninstall and then reinstall your
FrontLook Products.
First make sure you have the latest FrontLook
installers from your personal download page.
See Accessing your FrontLook.com Account
section below.
The installer may ask you to choose which
version of FrontPage it should support.
Choose FrontPage 2002 and continue.
FrontLook will only operate with the most
recently installed version of FrontPage.
===========================================
