Stacks Screencasts

We have put together 2 screencasts on our Stacks add ons. One for SpaceGallery and another covering SqueezeBox and SqueezeBox Big.

The cast on SqueezeBox covers the use of the jQuery Theme Roller site to theme not just SqueezeBox and SqueezeBox Big but also TabStack. Please watch carefully, and we suggest backing up any Stack you decide to alter. If you wish to minimise the size of the Stack, take a look at the images folder that is in the jQuery Theme Roller download and the one you will replace in the Stack. You will see there are images that can be removed from the download without issue.

Again, keep your pages simple in terms of scripts for an easier life. It doesn't need to be a boring page either. Good design is rarely super complex design.

CSS for TabStack & SqueezeBox

TabStacks and SqueezeBox use jQuery's Theme Roller styling files. Inside them is a CSS file called jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css which contains the styling that was set on the Theme Roller site. You can go inside this file and edit it if you wish, although it is somewhat easier to deal with.

Not getting what you need?

TabLoom has a lot of flexibility and supports Theme Roller settings to change the styling of the tabs and text. It also has many options with regards to things like how the content transitions between tabs. This is beyond our humble Stacks, so if you aren't getting all the power you need, why not try TabLoom and use Pluskit to import it?

Accordion from Yourhead can also be used with Pluskit, and being from a different javascript library, will work/clash with different things than Squeezebox. It is also fully fluid, where Squeezebox stays at the height of the largest content inserted in a sector.
