Fading Galleries app. is presented in five versions, and each one is explained line by line, functionally, as comments embedded into the CSS code,
plus in ample details in a dedicated PDF
tutorial file.

Version 1 of Fading Gallery presents 2 pairs of fading pictures, as it is
illustrated on left. The first pair is the very banner picture: green and yellow. The second pair
is a small blue-red image.
Particular to this version is the fact that there are 3 different animation sequences presented.
The first animation implements the simple fade in/out of 2 images. The second animation adds a
scale up/down, while the last animation adds a Z-axis rotation to scale and to fade in/out.
The general idea is to present a few nice options in addition to the simple fade in/out of 2
pictures, and also to familiarize the users with writing complex animations. |

Version 2 of Fading Galleries works with a stack of 10 pictures, each fading in/out at a time. In
fact, this version is the actual Fading Gallery.
Based on the 10 pictures implementation, developers can easily design a similar Fading Gallery
containing any desired number of images--though within reasonable limits, naturally. |

 |
Version 3 of Fading Gallery implements instantaneous image switch (like a blink) using the
"z-index" property. This is a very important lesson any designer should know because "z-index"
works normally in Chrome and Opera, though it is different in Firefox, Safari, and IE11/10/12.

Version 5 of Fading Galleries implements "site image copy-protection". The way it works is, when a
site visitor clicks on one image to copy it, the image fades out and leaves behind a blue background
carrying a copy-protect warning message.
The "image>save" and "image>save-as" commands are both missing on mouse right-click, so we are good
there. Moreover, based on the examples presented in this tutorial, developers could easily come up with even tougher
implementations! |
