Today I released five new transitions for BalfSlider. They are:
- Fall
- Top-to-bottom
- Bottom-to-top
- Stretch-top-to-bottom
- Stretch-bottom-to-top
They are available in the latest version of BalfSlider or as plugins for older versions.
I'm particularly happy with the fall transition - this is the first transition to rely on CSS for transitions too.
In this post I'm going to outline what's new for BalfSlider.
Firstly, the slider now has many new animations, in fact there is now a total of 18 of them. As well as this, the design of BalfSlider allows you to easily write your own effects quickly.
BalfSlider also includes several external functionalities that are accessible through the jQuery library such as a newly added Repaint function. I use this Repaint function to redraw the slider when the landing page on my website disappears, since the height will not be correct initially. This can also be used if the slider is not visible initially.
There are several new features planned for the next iteration, but until then they shall remain a surprise.
Yippe! BalfSlider is back. And this time it's back with a vengeance.
BalfSlider 2.0 brings a large number of new design features that focus solely on interoperability with any website. Because it's part of my Web Independently Styled Project, it's main aim is exactly this - no styles are added other than the crucial feature based styles and the JavaScript based ones. The rest is up to you.
The current version includes just one transition but two more will be here by version 2.1. As well as this, I'm happy to announce my Web Independently Styled Project JavaScript and CSS files. Between these files you can find combined BalfBar, BalfRibbon and BalfSlider CSS and JavaScript that allows you to quickly deploy any or all three of the plugins.
My next focus in these plugins is efficiency. Let me know if you have any requests using the usual methods of contact.
