Jonathan,
Again many thanks for taking the time to create an example. I will take some
time tomorrow and explore how one can create the same effect in Freeway.
As an aside, in your examples, the text at the top and bottom is not always
centered left-to-right in the browser window. Also the miniatures are left
aligned and not centered. I know, I'm being perhaps overly picky. :-)
A further aside, in the your example you provide a highlight border around
the miniature under the cursor. I got screamed at several months ago for
doing the same thing. If I recall correctly the comment was that having the
cursor change to a finger was sufficient and that the hightlight was
distracting. To be honest, I like the highlight.
