Hi, I am currently working on an online portfolio. But I am stuck with the menu. I have no idea on what kind of effect I can give to menu for rollover. Here is the menu. Any ideas? Thanks ---

hmmm, you can do all sorts of stuff with that. You can just do a simple highlight where you fill the box with a low opacity white square. You could do some sort of pulsing effect like this, www.mercer.edu/sea - some of my older work. you could have a white square come from the right hand side and stop on whatever button your on. you could have a low opacity square look like it comes from under the main banner and come down covering the button when you mousover. ---

not feeling it. If you go over the buttons real fast a bnch of time you can have a bunch of the glow things flying across. Actually that is kinda amusing to see how many you can get on the screen. ---

I actually like the effect but you need to get rid of the over lapping as said. One glow ball per button enough. ---

i with ddd on this one, not feeling it… i think the glow on the buttons are fine but those little glow dots have to go… personally i would try expanding the top border a little and within its gap have a little bar(same size as selected button) that a colour illuminates on rollover. ---
