0:06 hey everybody
0:07 this is Joe workman and I know you've
0:10 probably checked out all the other JAC
0:12 videos and this is the last in the
0:14 series this is on all of the great hover
0:17 effects that you can do with Jack with
0:21 Jack for we've separated out all of the
0:23 hover effects into its own separate
0:26 stack so that you actually have to if
0:29 you want hover effects you add the Jack
0:31 hover stack to the page so let's jump in
0:36 and show you how to do it so here we are
0:39 in the Jack hover demo page and as I've
0:43 said in all the other videos you can
0:44 download this project file from the Jack
0:47 doc portal as well as you can get it
0:50 from the disk image that you use to when
0:51 you purchase Jack
0:52 okay now the Jack hover stack is
0:57 actually a separate stack that you add
0:59 to the page so if you want to add hover
1:04 events you need to add your Jack stack
1:07 the wavy in style at the exactly the way
1:09 that you want view all the other Jack
1:12 videos to see how we've styled things
1:14 this way now if I want to change
1:17 anything about that Jack stack when you
1:19 hover over it I need to add this Jack
1:22 stack into a Jack hover stack now let's
1:27 look at the Jack hover settings you'll
1:30 notice at the top you we have animation
1:33 speed so you can define the speed at
1:35 what the animation is and then the
1:37 easing effect so as you play with these
1:40 you'll see exactly what these easing
1:42 effects do probably for a lot of things
1:44 linear would make sense and ease in and
1:47 ease out but they're basically how
1:50 things are timed their timing functions
1:52 just in general if you want to hover
1:54 have hover effects for any of the Jack
1:57 settings you need to enable that
1:59 settings section so in this particular
2:01 instance I want to enable hover layout
2:04 so I need to check I want to change the
2:08 layout settings on hover if you look at
2:12 border I don't have this checked so it
2:15 doesn't matter what settings I have here
2:17 they're not going to be used because I
2:20 do not have enable hover border same
2:23 thing if I if I don't turn on hover
2:25 background that the background is not
2:27 going to change
2:28 same thing with shadows so it is
2:32 important that if you want settings to
2:36 be changed on hover you need to enable
2:40 them inside Jack hover now another thing
2:44 once you enable Jack hover all of this
2:48 settings that are shown inside this in
2:51 this example Jack hover layout all these
2:55 settings are going to basically used on
2:57 hover so if I don't want to change the
3:00 padding on hover I need to make sure
3:03 that on hover the padding is set to be
3:06 exactly the same as the normal Jack
3:08 stack so let's look at what this jack
3:12 stack is this particular Jack stack has
3:18 a padding set to 10% it has a minimum of
3:22 max height set of 100 100 it has
3:25 flexible to browser set to 25% now let's
3:31 see exactly what Jack hover is set to
3:35 now if we look at the the Jack hover
3:38 settings well notice that there are a
3:40 few options not showing you can't change
3:43 you can't go from let's say static
3:45 height to proportional Heights inside
3:48 Jack hover but if you wanted to go from
3:50 static hypostatic height you could so
3:53 that's why some of these top settings
3:54 for flexible for width as well as height
3:58 options only contain values that are
4:00 animatable this particular stack will
4:05 notice that the max height on hover is
4:07 set to 140 but everything else is
4:10 identical therefore when we hover over
4:13 the stack it's going to animate from 100
4:16 pixels to 140 pixels let's see that in
4:20 action so as you see as I hovered over
4:23 this height stack
4:25 it is animating from 100 pixels to 140
4:29 pixels and the same thing can be done
4:33 with all of these width rotates and even
4:36 the skew thing now I'm not going to go
4:39 over each and every one of these you see
4:42 the concepts you set your cut your base
4:45 layout that you want inside Jack and
4:48 then whatever you want changed needs to
4:52 be inside Jack hover and the same thing
4:56 applies to borders if I want to increase
5:00 the border size on this particular stack
5:03 we'll see that if we look at borders I
5:08 have my borders set to 3 pixels 99%
5:13 opacity around corners 3% okay and if
5:17 this will notice that my border is
5:19 animating to ten pixels or if we look at
5:23 this example which is pretty amazing we
5:26 animate the actual border radius so deep
5:32 by default the Jack stack is set to be
5:34 50% border radius which will give us a
5:39 circle when we preview the page but on
5:42 hover we're animating that to be 10
5:45 pixel radius so I'm sure you've seen
5:48 this demo when I hover over this the
5:51 border radiuses change to be a circle to
5:55 a rounded rectangle and on this one I'm
6:00 animating both the border size and the
6:03 opacity the same thing can be done for
6:07 backgrounds by changing background
6:09 images changing the opacity of a
6:12 background hovering shadows changing
6:15 shadow values so that pretty much does
6:19 it for Jack hover right I didn't go into
6:22 all the examples because the concepts
6:24 are exactly the same if you want to
6:26 hover if you know various styles on Jack
6:30 you set your base Jack to be the exact
6:32 styles that you want then you insert it
6:35 inside of a jack hover stack where
6:38 the any deltas need to be changed inside
6:41 that hover stack now if there are values
6:44 again that you don't want to be changed
6:46 on hover you need to make sure that
6:47 those values are also set inside Jack
6:49 cover is if you have that particular
6:52 settings group enabled so I hope that
6:55 you use these hover effects um I hope
6:58 you don't need to crazy things with them
6:59 I've seen some pretty ugly things with
7:01 hover so um keep things subtle I think
7:04 subtlety is is very good so I hope you
7:07 loved Jack again the more you use it the
7:10 more you'll love it okay
7:12 and it really is an indispensable tool
7:15 that you know you use a pretty much
7:18 every web project so thanks for being of
7:21 great value customers go forth and make
7:24 your websites great thanks everybody bye"}]
