So, i use image icons as my source select buttons. Basically, there is the image and then a clear button over top. I want to make the active state of that button to be a translucent halo or something to highligh/show which source is selected. I'm trying to find something. I have some semi transparent graphics that maybe i can make the center even more so to creat the effect, but I'm no wizard at graphics, so any creative ideas is appreciated. Here as an example of an icon

I tried using the background eraser, but couldn't make anything come out nice. Here is the best I have with just a simple transparent PNG. When the source is inactive and ready to be selected, all you see is the icon. If you go back to the page and a source is active, it appears with the transparent button shading it. What do you think? Better ideas?

You could do a glow pattern around the icon. Or you could alter the icons hue/saturation to make it a specific color that represents the highlight. or you could box the icons and have them all be 1 color and choose another color to represent the active item.

Whenever I need to create a glow, I use a drop shadow set to 0,0 XY offset and turn up the blur to from 10-20 and choose the shadow color. Sometimes you have to apply the effect twice if you want a more dramatic effect. The exanple you made is perfect. |
