Freeway 5.5 Express (Electronic Software Download) for Mac $54.95 EASY GRAPHIC EDGE EFFECTS Use the new example driven interface to select and refine shadows, glows, edge shapes, and more—quickly! HTML Box Background Effects Freeway 5 can apply background effects to HTML items. This allows you to set graphic effects on HTML items that are similar to those that can be applied to graphic items (see Graphic Effects.) You can use this feature to create HTML boxes with translucent backgrounds, borders, glows, and shadows. Just like this box! GRAPHIC TEXT EFFECTS Create exciting edge effects, shadows and glows—even rough edges—on graphic text. You won’t need to leave Freeway, and you won’t need to modify your original artwork or create multiple versions. EDITABLE GRAPHIC TEXT Use any font installed on your Mac to create graphic headlines or other decorative elements. All of the effects above can be applied to the text—even on a character by character basis. Use advanced kerning, tracking, baseline shift, and more to refine your typographical message. Use any color or combination of colors you like. When you publish, a graphic will be created out of the text. The text remains editable within Freeway. TRANSPARENCY Freeway 5 takes the idea of a fully transparent graphic compositing engine to the next level. Any object on the page, even characters of type, can have transparency or variable opacity. When you overlap two transparent objects, Freeway will either composite them together, or maintain them as separate layered objects in the final layout. Anti aliasing to blend overlapping colors is automatically calculated.

Visitors to your site don’t need to have special fonts for each language, or to select the page language from a list—it just works. Each Unicode font can contain tens of thousands of characters or glyphs.

Omni Development OmniWeb 5 (Electronic Download) (Academic) for Mac $17.95 You’re a Mac fan, right? When people ask you why you like the Mac, you probably think of the attention to detail that makes the Mac user experience superior. It’s the sum of a lot of different things that add up to a system that’s more powerful, more beautiful, and more fun. What if you thought of a web browser in the same way? You use a web browser all the time, for working, for entertainment, for research; how cool would it be if every time you used it, you thought “Wow, this rules!” Welcome to OmniWeb. OmniWeb elevates your web user experience to be more productive, more efficient, and more fun. You’ll find information more quickly. You’ll stay organized. You’ll see the entire internet the way you choose. It’s the browser that puts you in control. Sure, you can use a standard web browser, with standard features. But you didn’t choose a standard software experience you chose the Mac. Why not try a browser built just for discriminating people with fabulous taste, like yourself? Tabs When you’re viewing a bunch of web pages in a single window, you need to be able to differentiate between them easily. Because hey no one wants to open the wrong page in front of their boss. Yeah, most web browsers have tabs. It’s just that ours kick more butt. In your tab drawer, thumbnail graphics make it a breeze to identify several web pages at once. You can quickly switch back and forth between them, change their position in the drawer, create new tabs on the fly, and even drag and drop tabs from one window to another. And when you have a whole boatload of pages in one window, you can change to a list mode so you don’t have to scroll. Scrolling’s for chumps. Shortcuts We know what it’s like to be working away when all of a sudden, it pops in your head: WHO WAS THAT GUY IN THE MOVIE ABOUT THE THING? You need to know, stat. Sometimes you just need to search a particular website on the fly. Maybe you’re in a tiramisu recipe finding contest! Um, or maybe you just need to find a stock quote or DVD review. With OmniWeb, you can build shortcuts to any searchable website, like Google or the Internet Movie Database. You can save space on your toolbar by typing your shortcut keywords into the location field, or you can create a Search Shortcut field where all your shortcuts are available from a drop down menu. Either way, you get what you’re looking for on the double, and bonus: you look all Smarty Von Smartypants! (“Oh, Crom was played by Peter Jurasik. Duh.”) Ad Blocking With OmniWeb, you can do much more than simply block those irritating “Click here to win!” ads. You can choose to view pop ups only when you ask for them (ie, by clicking a link), you can tell OmniWeb to block any ad content coming from a known ad server, you can block all Flash content and much more. Workspaces Let’s say you have 263 different web pages open. You’re browsing away. You’re on FIRE. But wait what’s this? You need to restart your computer? What about all the pages? Won’
