Make a Mac-style border with fireworks MX

We used to use lines to perform a shallow relief effect, and now we can make it easy with the effect (Effect) panel in Fireworks MX (hereafter FW mx). The following figure (PNG source diagram) is a line to make a Mac-style border, we use FW MX Open source files will find the production is more cumbersome, there is no simple way to make it? The answer is yes, the method is to use the effect (Effect) panel! This example is used to illustrate the process of making borders with FW MX, hoping to provide a new idea for FW MX enthusiasts. 　　 one, border making 1. Open the FW MX and create a new 340x110 file. 2. Select the Rectangle tool from the toolbar or press the shortcut key (U) to draw a 328x98 rectangle with a fill (#CECFCE) Without Borders (below without a description, the rectangle has no border). 3.

Press the U-key to draw a 320x73 rectangle and fill it with black. Move to the appropriate position, in this case, from the left 4PX, to the next 5PX. Select two rectangles at the same time, using the punch command, but the effect and we asked for the graphics are still different, it does not matter, draw a 18x18 rectangle, placed in the lower right corner, menu bar: Modify the ==> combination path ==> union to get the graphics we requested. 4. Select the generated graphics, press Ctrl+shift+d or menu bar: Edit ==> clone, select Effects panel: Shadow and Halo ==> Glow, set the following figure: Next to the layer generated in the third step, our graphics do not have a nice border, it is more flexible than using only one layer to create. 5.

The effect of the following figure: 　　 second, the production of small buttons According to the method we just made, we'll make a little button and line next to it, and finally we can get a small button with the following figure (enlarge 300%) Change it to get a new little button. The production of lines is very easy, draw a 270x12 rectangle, placed in the appropriate position, set as follows, OK.
