"Brighten up your pages with Spotlight"


Create fantastic eye-catching lighting effects with Wibbleware's Spotlight applet.

  • Have up to ten spotlights roving around your banner
  • Set each spotlight moving along any one of eight different paths
  • Faster page loading times with the built-in magnification feature
Perk up your logo, banner, or any picture image with Wibbleware's Spotlight applet. Spotlight allows you to quickly and easily darken your image and then move spotlights around it.

Magnification
Spotlight can also be instructed to automatically double the size of your image on your web page. This is great for speeding up your page loading times as you can use much smaller images that will only be one quarter of the displayed size. Additionally, it uses a anti-alias effect to smooth out any blocky edges.

The Spotlight applet above uses an image that is only 198 * 87, yet the displayed size is 396 * 174. This is the original image:



So, the small image here is only a small 16 KB image file. If you were to save this image at the size Spotlight magnifies it to on the page, it would actually be 48 KB in size.


Features
Spotlight is easy to use, yet is extremely powerful:
  • Just use a single image
  • Simple parameters
  • No programming knowledge necessary

How Does It Work?
Spotlight is a Java™ Applet: a powerful plug-in component compatible with the overwhelming majority of Internet browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape).

All you have to do is add the Spotlight applet to your web page and specify some simple parameters for your buttons. There's simply no need for any JavaScript or HTML programming!

You don't need to be a programmer - just use our simple step-by-step instruction guide to create your own eye-catching web banners and logos.


Flexibility
The Spotlight applet has a great range of configurable features, including:
  • Spotlight positions, routes, and speeds
  • Image brightness
  • Image magnification
  • URL link
