Menu 2 - A little more useful!



Here's the second menu in large form.

This might have a little more purpose. Imagine a contractor wants to offer his or her services, but wants to give potential clients an estimate on the type of work he or she does. Bingo! Done! This would also be useful for just about any shop that sells a variety of items...or any site that wants to show options of any sort, for that matter. Heck, a character artist could show off their creations in a gallery format!

Oh, and it's fairly dynamic - if you want to add another item, it's about a 30-second process (not counting whatever content you add to the panel at right). Yay expandability!

Menus! Menus! God, how I love menus!



Large version here.

Here is the first of two little menus I whipped up. I realized that this "does nothing" stuff is a lot of fun, but creating something that serves a purpose has its place, too! And so, here you go...

This one is a hypothetical color preview panel. It's not completely useful, but it would have its applications, I suppose. It needs just a few little extras to make it really useful. It wouldn't be a huge stretch to calculate the complementary color for the selected tile to show a little color palette. Anyway, enjoy!

If you didn't figure it out, you can roll over the colors to see them in the large panel. Click the "More" button to slide in a random assortment of new colors!
