Oh man, I just spent all last night and today making one from scratch. Just finished and I saw that!

Stuart I hope your time was a good learning experience and your tabbed interface/menu is working.

Yes it has been, I'm really beginning to see the power of the program now. Especially as I look at other peoples sites and can kind of deconstruct their graphics in my head and figure out how they made them. One issue I am having is with layers.

I see here

http://www.tutorial9.net/category/photoshop/

that the dark cylinder that shows the page is open around the 'recent' tab is added to each page individually (or at least it can be done like that). This is what I intend to do. I want however nav words as just text like on the tutorial9 page, not a button like in the Xara templates.

I cannot though get the text to go white when the mouse goes over it. I tried messing around with the layers tab and its kind of corrupted the document as now I'm having trouble pasting new things in and arranging them one on top of each other.

Any ideas?

I have a deadline to get this site ready for Monday so I will post it up then for everyone to laugh at (-:

Hey Stuart ... deconstruct this.

Stuart to have the text change to white on mouseover give the text on your mouseover image a white colour.

Make the mouseover layer visible. With the Text tool swipe the text for the button just like selecting words in a paragraph. This will select the text within the group/soft group. With the text selected you can switch to the Selector Tool and click on the colour line and select Fill Color from the popup menu.
