Spotlight style for NetNewsWire 2 Beta

7 October, 2004 12 Comments ↘ and

nnw spotlight style

Ive slapped together a style for NetNewsWire 2 Beta based on the look of Apples Tiger Spotlight feature. Its basically the supplied Plain+ style with just the Spotlight glass effect under the title.

Anyway, download it here.

Oh yeah, installation. Put the folder in username/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/StyleSheets then choose it from the toolbar in NetNewWire.

Edit: 287 downloads as of 2:07am GMT 11th October 05 :-D
549 one day later (thats the total).
Oh yeah, I managed to bugger the time stamp and permalink by editing this with MarsEdit but hopefully its fine now.

    I'm not sure why, but this style makes a (seemingly unneeded) horizontal scrollbar show up in NNW2 for me. Any possible solutions? Great job, by the way.

    no, im not to sure why im afraid, i borrowed some css from orangesquish to prevent it making multiple lines in the title so it maybe something to do with that. feel free to play with the css.

    The problem appears to be with the .newsItemTitle class. The "width: 100%;" does not appear to be needed with NetNewsWire. Eliminating this from the style sheet, removed the horizontal scroll bar for me.

    Replacing

    width:100%;

    with

    made the scroll-bars go away. Not really sure why though ;)

    comment out or remove the width:100%; from newsItemTitle - Matthew

    I dunno if this is peculiar to the Lite version, but I had to fully qualify the blue bar image to get it to show up. Like this:
    url(file:///Users/home/Library/Application%20Support/NetNewsWire/stylesheets/spotlight/title.gif);

    Rock! I'm now using this :)

    Michael -- I'd like to include your style sheet with NetNewsWire. Cool by you? (Style sheet credits appear in the About box in NetNewsWire.)

  10. 8253 Michael 2004-10-14 07:32:46

    I hope you're not looking at me, because I didn't do this...

  11. 8254 matthew 2004-10-14 09:13:00

    hehe.

    Youre welcome to include it Brent, however the Spotlight effect under the title is obviously Apples so I dont know if theres any problem with that or if just crediting Apple is enough.

    Either way, I have no problem, do with it what you will.
