A 'front-end framework' for designers?

[Darren Hoyt]

Thanks for the responses, guys. Re: superfish, that would be included. I'll post a full feature list when I release it. I'm always up for suggestions, esp for really common stuff (note that localization files, SEO helpers, search highlighting, dynamic page titles, etc, are already included).

Is it possible to script PS to do all the slicing, optimizing an saving in correct folders automatically and is actions or scripts included ?

I'm including slice guides for the very few exportable graphics included in the PSD (search icon, RSS icon, comments bubble, etc,), but I can't really pre-slice the whole thing because the whole point of the layout is for designers to change it, possibly radically. Tough to anticipate how people will use it, but you make a good point, the more automation the better.

Kept my word and bought it, mostly to support innovation. Hehe - Liverpool fans wont like it. I do. ;)

Thanks John, I hope you like it.

I'm actually a Liverpool fan and ended up using some ManU-related test data when I first built it because they'd won the Champions League that year and the celebration photos were everywhere :P

With a small video using the psds to make a WP design, and a tutorial.htm in the download I believe more people will be tempted to buy it.

btw: Your BUY button in actually hard to find. Some banner blindness kicks in, maybe you should go for a colored button ?

The psd->theme video is a definitely something I've considered, if I can find a clever way to edit it. Looking into ScreenFlow now.

Maybe a short version for marketing and a longer version for those who buy ?

Make people think - damn this looks easy, would like to see the full video. 15$ isnt much - I`ll buy it.

Johnm, it is possible to script Photoshop to do just about anything. I used to work for a jewelry company where most of what I did was automate Photoshop. But I'm wondering what values you would give the script for the slicing? If you are aware of certain numbers ahead of time, such as the width of the main, containing div, then you could put in a value for that - say, 960 pixels. But I would think there would be images inside of your design that you may not know ahead of time and therefore may not be aware of what coordinates to plug into the script to do the slicing.

You got that right. Count me in. Can't wait to dive into the code.

Darren,

This a great idea you have there. I've been struggling trying to find a theme that does what you are proposing and haven't had the time to build a quality one myself. I'll definitely buy it.

Keep us posted.

Here you go ;)
